Hotels in Miklavž na Dravskem Polju: Roman Traces and Nature

The Roman burial mounds in Miklavž are a Roman burial mound cemetery dating from around 100 AD and the easternmost of six burial mound cemeteries in the Maribor area. Together with St. Nicholas Church and the waters around Miklavž, they reveal the town’s diverse historical and landscape features.

Culture

St. Nicholas Church in Miklavž is first mentioned in 1382. It acquired its present form in 1662; it also has a late Gothic bell tower dating from the early 16th century. Several Roman stones are built into the exterior wall, linking the church building with the area’s older traces.

At the very edge of Miklavž, a Roman burial mound was reconstructed and restored in 2002. It can be visited as a cultural heritage monument. The participants in the traditional Kurentov skok dance around a fire and ring large cowbells to drive away winter and all evil.

The traditional Kurentov skok was performed in the Miklavž amphitheatre in a small woodland near the Spar branch by the miklavški koranti and the Dobrovški kurenti.

Nature

The springs and ponds of Miklavž are designated as a protected hydrological, zoological, and botanical natural monument. The springs, stream, and ponds also form a valuable habitat for endangered animal and plant species. The springs and ponds include shallow standing waters with dense riparian vegetation, providing breeding habitat for mallards and coots.

The Miklavž Ponds, with a walking path, are located near the old village centre and are part of Drava Regional Park.
