Juršinci and Dornava. On both circular routes there are well-managed tourist farms. There
are many interesting cultural features that tell of the life of the locals. There is a particularly
beautiful big old church and a castle in Hrastovec. In Sv. Trojica there is a pilgrimage church
with a large monastery; on Stara gora you can see a wooden windmill; on Juršinski vrh
there is the vaulted wine cellar that belonged to Count Otto Herberstein. On Zavrh near
Voličina there is an old winemaking farm with a coat-of-arms from the 16th century and a
memorial room dedicated to Rudolf Maister. Juršinci is renowned for the largest and oldest
Slovene vine nursery. It depends
on us how we approach these
winegrowers, talk to them and
find out what is concealed here,
but Štajerska is widely known as
a hospitable region.
A melancholy viticultural landscape.

The village of Juršinci can boast of a tradition of vine nurseries going back a hundred years. The winegrower Simon Toplak
is greatly responsible for the continuation of this tradition, 2006. Photos: Aleš Gačnik.
