Hotels in Zagradec on the Krka – Pilgrimage Church, Mill and Waterfalls

Zagradec is situated on a high rock terrace on the left bank of the Krka. The Krka waterfalls define Zagradec. Both the elevated location and the river with its waterfalls are therefore clearly recognizable landscape features of the place. The rock terrace describes the topographical location, while the left bank records the immediate relationship with the Krka.

Culture

In the south of Zagradec stands the pilgrimage Church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The church contains a marble pulpit that was transferred there from Stična Monastery. Its connection with Stična is thus directly preserved in an item of the church's furnishings. The Church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary in Zagradec is registered as cultural heritage unit EŠD 2696. The location, furnishings and registration thus identify three different features of the same church.

Mill

Štupnikov Mlin represents a special connection between milling and energy generation: it is supplied entirely with electricity by its own hydropower plant. Today, Štupnikov Mlin is the only mill still in operation on the upper course of the Krka. Various types of flour are milled and offered there on a traditional old millstone. Thus, both the continuing mill operation and the traditional processing of grain appear at the same location as concrete elements of the local profile. These details combine technical self-sufficiency, the mill's position on the upper course of the Krka and processing on the old millstone.

Event and Information

The Gregorjev sejem takes place annually in Zagradec. This recurring event supplements the permanently mentioned characteristics of the place with an event held in Zagradec every year. Kavarna pri Joži also serves as Zagradec's tourist information centre. The place therefore has both an annual recurring event and a named information point.

Circular Route

Zagradec is also explicitly included in the itinerary of the 11th Prijetno-domače circular route. On the second day of this circular route, the hikers set out from Zagradec. The route led via Ambrus, Korinj and Krka to Muljava. The place names listed mark the sequence of this stage. The entry therefore connects Zagradec with the second day of the circular route and also names the complete sequence of the other places as far as Muljava.
