Симпатичное место для прогулок. Есть парк, с большим количеством тропинок. Были в конце февраля, цвели кроксы, целыми полянами, это потрясающее зрелище. В замке расположен отель. Можно пройтись вокруг замка, по берегу озера.

One of the most attractive hotels in Slovenia reigns on the beautiful island of the shallow watercourse of the Krka River. The only "water castle" in Slovenia is a member of the international association of hotels and restaurants Relais & Châteaux, and with its offer it ranks among the top tourism destinations on a global scale. Guests are offered 16 luxuriously appointed rooms and suites with furniture made of natural materials, and the renowned castle restaurant boasts fresh, healthy and landscape-inspired dishes of exciting flavors.The story goes that originally the castle was not built on the island, but on the right side of the river Krka by the water, but later one of the lords on the right dug a piece of land so that in the middle of the water the castle was so much more secure from the enemy.
It is unknown who built Otočec Castle and when. Only so much is known historically that it already stood in the 13th century.
Peasants: in 1252 and 1254 Henrik Otolsky and his brother, in 1256 Ulrik Otolsky, in 1289 Engelbert, in 1322 Valkun, in 1355 Nicole, in 1372 Hincelin, in 1386 Witner Otolski. Later, the Otocan family became extinct and the castle came into the ownership of the Vilander family. This is how history names in 1503 Sigmund Vilander, who died in 1520 and his son William, who also supplied the Turjak and Taricko castles. On Good Friday, 1547, William died because he had fallen off a horse a few days earlier. Both owners lie buried in front of the pulpit in the Franciscan church in Novo mesto. When the Vilandrov family died out, the barons of the castle were the barons Lenkoviči, among whom Janez Lenkovič and his son Yuri, who died in Ljubljana in 1601 and with whom the Lenkovič family became extinct, are especially famous and well-deserved. Yuri was the provincial governor of Carniola and merged the manors of Trebelsko and Štatenvrsko with Otoška, where they established a provincial court. Behind these, the castle was given the birthplace of the Permalink, and from them the castle was bought by Wolf Jakob Solnce. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Schweiger family was found to be the owners of Otočec. The last owner was Count Margheri.
