Tips for exciting tours in the Heart of Slovenia

Trail (Motniška pot). Follow a yellow
snail that leads from the Pygmy
Rhinoceros Museum (Muzej
pritlikavega nosoroga) and walk
up to the parish’s St. George’s
Church (Cerkev sv. Jurija) and a
chapel of ease which was originally
a castle chapel. There is not
much left from the castle but the
place up there is lovely. You can
rest there and enjoy magnificient
views over the valley.
In the past, cargo transport by wagons
flourished in this area and drivers
stopped here for their animals
to rest. Therefore, big hayracks for
drying hay were needed and today
you can find in this area eight toplar,
double hayracks with a roof.
The most beautiful one is definitely
Vrbančev toplar with a very fine
carved out roofing. Take a stroll around a square that is skirted
by old houses with beautiful portals and dominated by a pillory.
Here you might want to pop into a restaurant for lunch.
Go the next section of the trail by car. Take a shortcut for
Jelševica and drive to Trojane, where Carniola and Styria
regions met. Take a clearway to Blagovica. From here you
drive on to Golčaj and in good two kilometres you arrive at
