Holiday apartment in Podmelec: Sopota Waterfall and Sacred Art

In Podmelec, nature, sacred art and railway history stand side by side. The distinctive features lie both in individual natural attractions and in the details of a religious building and the development of the railway station.

Nature

Above Podmelec lies Sopota, a 62-metre-high waterfall. A well-maintained viewpoint is located a few metres before Sopota Waterfall. A well-maintained path leads to Sopota Waterfall in about ten minutes. The healing spring “V Perilih” is located near the village of Podmelec. Kotel can be accessed from Podmelec. Thus, the natural attractions range from a waterfall above the village, via a viewpoint and a spring near the village, to another destination accessible from Podmelec.

Culture

The Church of St. Mary's Assumption stands in Podmelec. It was built in the Gothic style and probably dates from the 14th or 15th century. Inside, the stone high altar is Baroque in design; its central section contains a Late Gothic statue of Mary with Jesus. The murals inside the Church of St. Mary's Assumption include a painting by J. Seljak dated 1899. In addition, four areas of frescoes were discovered beneath the plaster after 1996. This religious building therefore brings together Gothic architecture, Baroque design, a Late Gothic statue of the Virgin Mary and murals from different periods.

History

Another historical facet is Podmelec railway station. Until 1914, it was an ordinary station with three tracks, used exclusively for trains to pass one another. During the First World War, the station was converted into a provisional terminus because it was the first sufficiently secure station on this section of the line. The station's history thus preserves both its former function as a passing station and its wartime conversion into a provisional terminus.
