Prevalje

The history of Prevalje is the history of ironworks, since the ironworks factory located in Prevalje was the strongest in this part of Europe up to its closing. The municipality boasts a rich cultural history: the Roman stones excavated in Zagrad, two wonderful Gothic churches above Leše, the Štopar Bridge, an incredible technical monument, the former seat of the St. Mohor’s Society publishing house (Mohorjeva družba), and the idea of the reading badge for schoolchildren, which was born here. You most certainly need to visit the Šentanel tourist village, take a walk to Poljana, where the soldiers fought the final battles of WWII in Europe, as well as the Holmec border crossing, which saw one of the most important battles in the 1991 independence war for Slovenia. The Single Trail Park at Jamnica attracts mountain bikers from all around the world.
