L'unica isola naturale della Slovenia, con una chiesa barocca di pellegrinaggio e 99 gradini dal molo.
Perché visitarlo
The pletna crossing is a genuine surviving craft tradition, not a re-enactment for visitors.
Informazioni
The island holds the Church of the Assumption, rebuilt in baroque form after the 1509 earthquake, with a wishing bell in the tower. Access is by pletna — the flat-bottomed, hand-rowed boats worked by a hereditary guild of oarsmen from the Mlino settlement — or by hired rowing boat, or by swimming in summer. The pletna oarsmen wait until the boat is full, so there can be a wait in low season. From the jetty there are 99 stone steps to the church.
