Tips for exciting tours in the Heart of Slovenia

the way to Moravče, stop in Krašce and leave your car at the
Pr’Frfrau Restaurant. After a delicious meal in the restaurant,
take a walk to Tuštanj Castle (Grad Tuštanj) which was the
home of professor Makso Pirnat, a great admirer of Jurij Vega’s
work, which he researched with great interest in the beginning
of the 20 th century. In the castle you will meet Lord
Peter and hear the interesting story of his ancestors. Close
to the castle a path known as Rača Education Trail (Učna
pot Rača) runs along a stream of the same name. You can
relax here and rest for a couple of hours and think of the days
when the song of birds and mill wheels gently echoed across
this beautiful landscape. Next, stop at St. Andrew’s Church
(Cerkev sv. Andreja) and view its very interesting frescos and
typical old rural architecture, which prevailed in the Moravče
Valley throughout the 18 th century.
When you get back to your car, drive first to Moravče and stop
in the centre at St. Martin’s Church (Cerkev sv. Martina). In
the park around the church you can take pictures of yourself
together with the statue of Jurij Vega who was baptised in
this church and who also went to catechesis and school here.
A nice place to have lunch is Pri Jurku Restaurant.
If you have some time left, you can climb from Zagorica to
St. Nicholas Church (Cerkev sv. Miklavža) in Katarija above
the Sava River or from Moravče to mount Limarska gora,
a pilgrimage route leading to the Church of St. Valentine
(Cerkev sv. Valentina). At the top you will be rewarded with a
magnificent panoramic view.
