Polhov Gradec
Polhov Gradec is picturesque village in the Polhograjsko hribovje hills. In its old city centre stands the Baroque Church of Mary’s Birth, built in 1736.
On a nearby hill Gora (824 m) settlements reach as far back as the Iron Age, while in Roman times a settlement Ad Nonum stood close by.
On the hill Kalvarija (460 m) old castle ruins can be seen. The new castle, designed in 17th century, is surrounded by a beautiful park and stands in by the village in the valley. Here is also a local museum's permanent collection with objects related to the history of Polhov Gradec and the Technical Museum of Slovenia - Museum of Post and Telecommunications. A well with the statue of Neptun and four nymphs stands by the castle.
Around Polhov Gradec a botanical speciality can be found, spurge laurel (Daphne blagayana), a rare kind of mountain plant, known also as the king’s flower, discovered right here. A monument for the king’s plant stands at the foothills of Gora, raised by the Count Ursini Blagaj, who lived in Polhov Gradec between 1808 and 1858.

On Saturday, April 19, the traditional spring environmental campaign For a More Beautiful Ljubljana will conclude with the cleaning of the Ljubljanica River. Between 10:00 and 14:00, the Shoemaker’s Bridge (Čevljarski most) will transform into a cozy open-air living room, where passers-by can relax, enjoy live piano performances, or take part in creating a large collaborative drawing inspired by Ljubljana and the Ljubljanica. During this time, numerous divers and other volunteers will be removing waste from the riverbed, accumulated over the past year. The collected waste will be weighed and put on display as a reminder that the river is not a dumping ground, but a shared space and responsibility.
