Tips for exciting tours in the Heart of Slovenia

In the past, Litija was known as a river port. In addition to
coal mining, timber-rafting was the profession of our ancestors
as far back as Prehistoric times. The biggest ships sailing
down the river were named tombas. You will learn more on
this topic in the Museum of River Traffic, Coal Mining and the
Railway.
After an interesting presentation of river traffic and transport
on the Sava River, continue with your trip to Breg pri Litiji. In
a fire station you can visit a permanent exhibition of Sava
stones of pebbles, which is unique in the rest of Europe.
The stones were formed during 400 million years of turbulent
geological history of the whole Sava basin.
After all the excitement of this day you can end your trip on
the nearby Paternoster farm, where you will be served some
excellent dairy products. You can have a meal in Kimovec Inn
in Zg. Hotič or in Berdajs Restaurant in Sava pri Litiji.
A tip for a two day-trip: You can stay overnight in Kum Inn
in Zagorje and set out the next day, looking for some new
adventures along the Sava River. The road running along
the river will take you to Radeče where you can visit the old
town centre. In the afternoon you can join the rafters from
Radeče for some timber-rafting along the Sava River.
In a two-hour ride down the river you will experience the
story of rafting and the Rafters’ baptism. To top it all, you will
taste a rafter’s meal. If you decide to take this tour, then you
will find accommodation in Litija in Kovač Restaurant or
in Podkum.
