Pliskovica: Karst, Village History and Crafts

Information boards along the Pliskina pot explain the characteristics of the Karst grassland and the birds that live there. They also cover the former use and present-day significance of kali and lokve. The landscape, wildlife and history of these elements typical of the Karst are addressed together.

The Baroque Church of St. Thomas stands at the highest point of Pliskovica. Its present-day choir was formerly part of the nave, while the sacristy was once the Gothic choir. In the village square, the Latnik evropskega prijateljstva symbolises friendship with the cross-border neighbouring municipality of Zgonik and the 25 EU Member States that joined when Slovenia acceded to the EU.

In front of the church, the Pliskovica linden tree is considered a natural monument. It is estimated to be more than 400 years old and is protected as a cultural monument. The village well of Pliskovica and its surroundings were extensively renovated in 2011.

The Slamčeva Domačija has been converted into a youth hostel and comprises a residential building and a barn.
