ception (Cerkev Marijinega brezmadežnega spočetja) and the birth house of Rudolf Maister. On the façade of the opposite building you can see the original coat-of-arms of furriers’ guild. Signboards hang along the entire street, confirming the fact that this used to be the most important trade street in Kamnik. At the end of Štuna street stands the house of Dr. Nikolaj Sadnikar, the son of the founder of the first private collection in Slovenia. From here, you climb up to the Baroque Zaprice Castle (Grad Zaprice), home to the Intermunicipal Museum of Kamnik (Medobčinski muzej Kamnik), where you will learn about the history of Kamnik. You can relax and rest in the tranquil ethnological park at old preserved granaries. The walk is about a kilometre long. We especially recommend that you visit Kamnik on the second weekend in June (Friday or Saturday), when the Medieval Days take place and many events connected to this festival are organised: Search for Veronika’s treasure, a medieval fair, a competition for the Vrtomir’s ring, medieval games, market, sketches, and much more. If you are not very tired yet, you can set out to the Old Castle (Stari grad) on foot, 30 www.dediscina.si
passing by Mlinčkov gaj. You can also drive up to the castle on an asphalt road and get a fine bird’s eye view of Kamnik and its surroundings along the way. Close to Zgornje Palovče, you can visit Budnar Museum House (Budnarjva domačija), an old homestead with a črna kuhinja (black kitchen) built 350 years ago. The main place is an old rural room known as hiša with krušna peč, a traditional Slovene bread oven typical of farmhouses and bohkov kot (God’s corner), a special place every Slovene home used to have, where the cross was placed. In the hiša you will also find a table made of maple 31
