Culture

A prominent cultural site is the bell tower of the “Church of St. John the Baptist” in Gorenja vas. Its distinctively designed, two-storey lantern roof features volutes and decorative vases in the 19th-century late Baroque style. The origins of the church date back to the 14th century; it was first mentioned in 1623. Around 1700, its vaults were decorated with frescoes using the true fresco technique. From Neško’s Footbridge, walkers can continue on to the “Church of St. John the Baptist” in Gorenja vas.

Ivan Regen Square adds another distinctive feature to the townscape. It is home to the “Fountain of Love in the Time of Crickets”, a work by the academically trained sculptor Metod Frlic. In fine weather, locals and tourists use the square as a place to sit and relax while listening to the murmur of the water. On the second Saturday of every month, the “Market of Agricultural Crops and Products” also takes place at Ivan Regen Square.

Družinski park Log is located on the western edge of Gorenja vas. It features playgrounds as well as adventure and walking trails with a viewpoint. The shorter themed route “Along The Traces Of The Rupnik Line” begins at the cemetery in Gorenja vas.
