Tips for exciting tours in the Heart of Slovenia

On the cape of the meander stands Pogonik Castle (Grad
Pogonik), which was of strategic importance throughout history.
In 1944, the Yugoslav Front of World War II took, with the
help of ally air force, the enemy’s post – Pogonik castle – and
heavily damaged the iron bridge over the Sava River. With
this action the front broke off the enemy’s transport connections
for a longer time and, more importantly, it lamed the
enemy traffic forever. When you climb up the hill you will
have a fantastic view
over the plain at Litija,
the river and railway
tracks beneath you.
If you came here by
car or bike then continue
as you did before
along the right
bank. Otherwise hop
back on the raft and
float down the river to
Litija. Get off the raft
on the left river bank
at Ukmar’s house (Ukmarjeva
hiša) and
make for the Museum
of River Traffic,
Coal Mining and the
Railway (Muzeju brodarstva,
rudarstva in
železne ceste).
