Holiday apartment in Stara Vas – culture and cycling

Stara Vas combines cultural heritage in the village with the Grajska kolesarska pot, which runs through the village. This brings together different ways of discovering the area, both in the village landscape and along the route described.

Culture

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua is located in the village. It is registered as immovable cultural heritage in the category of sacred architecture and is also a subsidiary church of the Postojna parish. The village centre of Stara Vas is likewise registered as immovable cultural heritage and as a settlement heritage area.

A historical connection to the village emerged during the one-month filming of the movie “Noč vampirjev” in 1963: Stara Vas became a film village. A wooden model of Stara Vas is a typical example of a rural settlement in the Pivka area. The archaeological aspect includes the Stara Vas archaeological site, which is registered as immovable cultural heritage in the category of archaeology.

Cycling

The Grajska kolesarska pot runs through Stara Vas. It is 54 km long and has a total elevation gain of 1,300 metres. The tour combines active cycling with discovering the castle landscape of Postojna and passes five castles or their remains from different historical periods. Along the way, it follows paved roads, gravel tracks and cart tracks.

Another cycling tour, “Junior po junior”, passed through Stara Vas and then continued along a gravel path between the meadows around the sports airfield. This tour was also suitable for children accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.
