Holiday apartment in Zagradec: Krka Waterfalls and Cultural Heritage

Zagradec lies on a high rocky terrace on the left bank of the Krka. The waterfalls of the Krka define the town.

Culture

In the south of Zagradec stands the pilgrimage church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The Church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary contains a marble pulpit that was transferred there from Stična Monastery. The church in Zagradec is registered as cultural heritage unit EŠD 2696. This cultural picture is complemented by Gregorjev sejem, which takes place annually in Zagradec. The dedication, the origin of the pulpit and the registration under the EŠD number complement one another as different details concerning the same sacred building.

Local Traditions

At the upper course of the Krka, Štupnikov Mlin is now the only mill still in operation. At Štupnikov Mlin, various types of flour are ground and offered using a traditional old millstone. The mill also has a special feature in terms of its energy supply: Štupnikov Mlin is supplied entirely with electrical energy by its own hydroelectric power plant. The combination of mill operation, types of flour and hydropower remains closely tied to this specific location on the upper course of the Krka. The mill setting thus includes the present-day operation on the upper course, the grinding of various types of flour on the old millstone, and the entirely self-sufficient hydroelectric power plant. These details refer both to the traditional technology and to the operation’s specific energy source.

Hiking

One route passing through Zagradec is the 11th Prijetno-domače circular trail. On the second day of this circular trail, the hikers set out from Zagradec; the route led via Ambrus, Korinj and Krka to Muljava. In this section, Zagradec is at the beginning of the named route, before it continues through the other places to Muljava. The places named mark the sequence of this section: Zagradec is the starting point of the second day, followed by Ambrus, Korinj and Krka, before Muljava is reached.

On Site

Kavarna pri Joži serves as Zagradec’s tourist information centre. Thus, in addition to the landscape, cultural and mill destinations mentioned, there is also a specific place associated with a tourist information function. The information function is therefore tied to a specifically named location.
