1. On the road with a straw hat on your head Trzin – Jable – Domžale – Krumperk – Krtina The history of the area you are going to visit was shaped by various battles. From the 14 th to the 16 th century, a period known for the infamous Ottoman invasion, locals built forts known as tabori and erected churches within the fort walls. This is the reason why a large number of fort churches can be found here. The Napoleonic wars and later on both World Wars, with their high death tolls, had also a great impact on this area. The Slovene War for Independence in 1991 was the last war fought in this land. A more peaceful side of the area’s history is a long tradition of straw craft. Locals made slippers, coasters and straw hats out of straw braids and used them in their everyday life. Begin the tour in town Trzin at Center Ivana Hribarja, a modern building with a beautiful well in front of the entrance. This cultural centre offers information on this area for visitors. An attraction for children is a nearby playground and a climbing wall, promising loads of fun for the youngest members of your family. Set out on foot from the centre, passing by school 11
