Štukljeva Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The footbridge in Irča vas is a great engineering achievement, as there are only three longer bridges built in this way in the world, and its architectural design is unique within a radius of 500 kilometers.

Žužemberk Castle

Highlight • Castle

"Žužemberk was first mentioned in writing in 1246, and the town received market rights in 1399. For centuries, the castle and town were owned by the important noble family Auersperg. The brothers Georg and Wolf von Auersperg bought them from King Ferdinand I in 1538. In the 16th In the 19th century, Žužemberk was repeatedly attacked by the Turks, so the castle there was refortified and expanded.

During the Second World War, Italian occupation troops were stationed in the castle. They were successfully driven out by a partisan unit in December 1942. The partisans then burned down the castle. In February 1945 Žužemberk was shelled by Allied bombers with rockets."

Krka River

Highlight • River

The river, which as the central watercourse divides the Dolenjska region into two parts, is characterized by a rather calm flow and a dark green color. The greatest specialty is represented by lehnjak thresholds, of which there are around a hundred on the Krka.

Krka

Highlight • Settlement

The village of Krka is the first settlement at the source of the river, which today is a well-known excursion point precisely because of this natural attraction. The village with this name was officially created only in 1953, when the hamlets of Videm and Gmajna were merged. The main part of the settlement was developed next to the bridge over the river, south of the Ivančna Gorica - Novo mesto local road.
