Greetings from natural park
Maribor lake!
Tante Frida has found her little corner of nature in the middle of the Maribor lake natural park, which inspired her to create 100% natural desserts. This is the place where you can experience chocolate in the Chocolate Center. In the immediate vicinity of the natural park there is also a chocolate manufactory, where Tante Frida and her team create their all natural chocolate creations.
At Tante Frida’s chocolate literally flows in streams! :-) And that’s simply the world’s best chocolate!
If Tante Frida had to choose what she likes best and what she likes to create with, it would definitely be CHOCOLATE.

MARIBOR LAKE
Natural park Natura 2000
Lake Maribor is an accumulation lake created by the damming of the Drava river for the construction of the Mariborski Otok hydroelectric power plant.
Nowadays this area is protected as a landscape park. It is very popular among Slovene people, who come to the park to have fun, do sport, explore its riparian biotopes (the southern shore of the lake is almost entirely covered with forest and there are several shallow, interesting habitats for many animal species), admire the breathtaking landscape, and relax. On the shore of the lake, you will also find Frida’s chocolate manufactory together with the Chocolate experience center, the chocolate coffee shop, and Frida’s Chocolate Village. Welcome!
