cross railway tracks. Head on till you reach Menačnk homestead. This was a house of a skilled tailor, which was bought and rebuilt by the municipality. By rebuilding stables, the entire barn, which can still boast with its preserved appearance, has gained new space for exhibitions, meetings and different educational events for the cultural heritage enthusiasts. Continue with the tour on a byway for Gorjuša to Krumperk Castle (Grad Krumperk). The previous owner of the castle, Adam Ravbar, went down in history with the battle at Sisak, where a vastly larger Ottoman army lead by pasha Hasan was brought to their knees by Ravber’s forces. You can see the castle from the outside. Close to the castle there is another tourist attraction – Iron Cave (Železna jama), which is the only accessible one for the tourists in this part of the Karst region. You can also visit a museum that houses a stone and fossil collection and archaeological excavations. It also shows the historical development of the traditional craft of straw weaving. Guided tours of the cave and of the museum take place every Sunday at 2pm. After the tour you can have a delicious meal at Jamarski dom Restaurant. The next stop is a nearby village Krtina, where St. Leonard’s Church (Cerkev sv. Lenarta), a fine late Gothic fort church, is located. Today, the church’s bell tower is home to the wooden doors into which Turkish enemy had thrust his sword. Finish the lovely day by visiting the members of Rača Tourist Association (Turistično društvo Rača). There you can 14 www.dediscina.si
pick out a hand-made straw hat to take back home. Instead of heading to Krtina you can also visit the Church of St. Kunigunda (Cerkev sv. Kunigunde) in Tabor and the St. Nicholas Church (Cerkev sv. Miklavža) in Goropeče. Travellers who wish to stay overnight in this area and continue with their trip in the morning, can stop in Radomlje at Šporn Hotel. 15
