SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIENCE

The tour of Ajdovski gradec starts at the foot of the hill, where you can learn about the brief history of Bohinj and how people lived in Bohinj during the Iron Age. How they built wooden houses, mined for iron and buried their dead across the river.
You will walk along the old walls, between buildings that are still standing, and learn about the past through illustrations and replicas of historical artefacts. The vantage point overlooking the Bitnje church and the prehistoric burial site reveals all the cleverness and deliberateness of the choice of location and method of construction in our past.

AJDOVSKI GRADEC AND FRANCE PREŠEREN

The epic poem The Baptism at Savica, by the greatest Slovenian poet Dr France Prešeren, is linked to Ajdovski gradec:
He with them who still claim the faith of the guilty,
flees there to Bohinj, to the Bistrica valley,
into a fortress built on a grey rock.
To this day you see a wreck,
which is called Ajdovski gradec
you see Črtomir’s property in it.
