Culture

Hrastovec Castle has been documented since at least 1294. The medieval complex was fortified during the Renaissance and later converted into a residence with Baroque elements; the castle contains a painted Baroque chapel.

The Trški špital in Lenart operated from 1626 to 1910. Baroque window grilles and a stone portal bearing the coat of arms of the Herberstein family have been preserved.

The Church of St. Lenart is first mentioned in 1196. Due to its high-quality architecture and stone-carved details, it is considered an outstanding example of Gothic architecture in the Slovenske gorice.

The Old Primary School is a Neoclassical building from 1895 in the center of Lenart. The writer Ožbalt Ilaunig lived and worked in a restored house next to the Old Primary School.

The interior of the Church of St. Rupert is decorated with works by the Maribor sculptor Jožef Holzinger. The present Church of St. Rupert in Voličina dates from 1538. The Stritar Chapel near the Radehova dam is a branch church of the Lenart parish.

Since 2018, the Štupičeva Villa in Zavrh has housed the permanent exhibition “Maister po Maistru” about Rudolf Maister. The Črni križ commemorates Agata from Štralek, the wife of Friderik Herberstein from Hrastovec Castle.

“Pobeg v zgodovino čarovništva” is a themed tourism offering based on the story of Agata and Friderik, Hrastovec Castle, the witch trials in the Slovenske gorice and the literary work “Črni križ pri Hrastovcu”.

Nature

The Hrastovec Landscape Park is located in the area of the settlements of Hrastovec and Zgornja Voličina and is known for characteristic plant species and lithothamnion limestone in the Strma gora area. The landscape park also features above-ground and underground karst phenomena.

The 4.2-hectare Hrastovec ponds have been protected as a natural monument since 1992 and serve as a habitat for endangered plant and animal species.

Lake Komarnik is one of the most important breeding grounds for waterfowl in Slovenia. It is also an important refuge and a significant habitat for rare and endangered plant and animal species; otters are also found in the surrounding streams and ponds.

A walking trail with information boards and two observation towers for birdwatching runs around Lake Komarnik.

The Maister observation tower in Zavrh is a 17-meter-high metal tower and, in clear weather, offers views of Pohorje, Kozjak, Boč, Donačka gora, Croatia and the Hungarian Plain.
