Jiršovci: Roman Burial Mounds in the Rogozniška Valley

On the edge of a wooded ridge, the monument “Jiršovci – Rimski gomili” comprises two Roman burial mounds, some of which have already been uncovered. At their original location, they are considered an archaeological heritage site. The Roman burial mounds of Jiršovci are protected as archaeological remains and serve as a basis for archaeological, historical and scientific research.

Landscape

Jiršovci lies in the Rogozniška Valley and extends across hilly terrain. The settlement is extensive and predominantly scattered across the hills. As a result, different forms of land use are part of the local landscape: arable farming is practised in the lowlands of Jiršovci, while the hills are used for livestock farming, viticulture and fruit growing. The valley, lowlands and hills do not represent separate places, but describe the different landscape areas of Jiršovci. The landscape descriptions therefore combine the location in the valley with the agriculturally used areas of the lowlands and hills.

Cycling tour

A 31 km cycling tour leads from Janežovci through several settlements, including Jiršovci, through the village and past the Slomškova kapela. On the Jiršovci section of the tour, cyclists cross the Rogoznica stream; a mill once stood there. The route therefore connects several named points and settlements, without implying that the historic mill is the same as a present-day structure. The distance of 31 km refers to the entire designated tour from Janežovci through the named settlements. For Jiršovci, this description names both the passage through the settlement and the section along the Rogoznica stream and past the Slomškova kapela.
