What to see in Grosuplje

Fortified church of Tabor nad Cerovim

In the surrounding area of the village of Cerovo, on the Tabor hill near the famous Županova jama cave, stands a medieval church of St. Nicholas, built in the 15th century and later slightly modified. In the first half of the 16th century it was frescoed by several Croatian painters. In the same century, it was fortified to provide a place of refuge and defence for farmers from nearby villages during Turkish attacks. Being one of the few fortifications of the kind in Slovenia, it is one of the nation's most important historical monuments of the period.

Magdalenska gora archaeological site

Its exceedingly well preserved prehistoric settlement with man-made terraces and defensive rampart, its great number of family mounds, its lively history of archaeological research and rich archaeological finds put Magdalene mountain among the best known archaeological sites in Slovenia. Most of the finds date between the 8th century B.C. and 1st century B.C. and some finds are from Roman and Medieval times. They are kept in museums in Ljubljana, Vienna and Harvard. On the top of the hill, on the site of the acropolis of the ancient settlement, stands the church of Street Magdalene, built in rustic gothic style. The church, first mentioned in writing in 1366 is dedicated to Street Magdalene, a very vivacious woman, who became a saint when she met Jesus.

The archaeological walkway–learning path enables you to see the remains of the Iron Age settlement and provides insight into the life of its ancient inhabitants.

It is a truly beautiful area, ecologically diverse and biogenetically accordant, providing a great natural environment for many rare and protected species of plants and animals. Because of its typical Karst features (underground streams, sink holes and gorges) it reminds one strongly of the famous intermittent Cerknica Lake. In the middle of the Radensko field is a 68 metres tall hummock Kopanj and the most beautiful example of a Karst hum (a small hill typical of Karst regions) in Slovenia. Radensko Polje is 4km long and 1 kilometers wide. It is surrounded by steep woody slopes reaching as high as 300 metres.

Besides six chambers, it contains all the curiosities of karst caves, including abysses, tunnels, all kinds of dripstones, shallow calcerous sinter pools, and ice dripstones in winter.
