Holiday apartment in Šenturška Gora: pilgrimage site, nativity scenes and cycling loop

Šenturška Gora is designated as a popular viewpoint and pilgrimage site. The combination of history, ecclesiastical art and trails can be seen at several clearly identified stops.

Culture and history

Simon Robič is associated with Šenturška Gora and was regarded as a renowned naturalist, speleologist and mountaineer. From 1874 until his death in 1897, he was the parish administrator in Šenturška Gora and is buried there. The Church of St. Ulrich was built around 1368. It has three altars, two of which were created by the sculptor M. Peternel. It also has a new organ with 17 stops.

A special tradition takes place during the Christmas and New Year period: local residents set up numerous nativity scenes along the path between Poženik and Šenturška Gora. The nativity scenes are placed in tree hollows, under roots, beneath rocks and in caves. There is also a chapel beside the path with an image of Mary, Help of Christians. Hikers can ring a bell there for health and a safe journey.

Nature

The path between Poženik and Šenturška Gora begins at the edge of Poženik. It follows a well-trodden and passable cart track. Daylight hours are recommended for visits, as landslides may damage the path in some places and there are steep slopes below it. According to the tourism information, the route is suitable in all seasons; special caution is required in winter.
