St. Bolfenk Church (Slovene: Cerkev Sv. Bolfenk), Pohorje
Highlight • Religious Site
Today's church was built in 1501 on the site of a small chapel. The first written documents about the beginning of the construction of the building on this site date back to 1291. The church was built by Wolfgang Herzenskraft Limbuški in the then typical German late Gothic style.
After the reforms of Joseph II. in 1785 it was abandoned and part of the interior was transferred to the surrounding churches. In 1856, when the building was already in a very poor condition, it became the property of the then mayor of Maribor and notary Otmar Reiser. He started renovating it five years later. On the north wall of the tower they installed a viewing balcony, a bridge, which was previously part of the then Pix café in Maribor.
The renovation was continued by Otmar Reiser Jr., who inherited the building. He placed a gilded head with a cross on the renovated roof of the tower, which was blessed by the then bishop Anton Martin Slomšek. In 1878, he arranged an apartment in the building for a logger and six rooms for mountaineers with a registration book. Therefore, Bolfenk can be considered the oldest mountain lodge on Pohorje, which recorded 600 to 1000 visitors a year.
A fire destroyed the building on March 29, 1950. In 1971, the workers of the Institute for the Protection of Monuments began the reconstruction of Bolfenk. The owner of the building, the Municipality of Maribor, continued the rehabilitation more intensively in 1991. The renovation was completed and the grand opening took place on March 29, 2000, exactly 50 years since Bolfenk burned down.

The path is solid, but sometimes very steep. I would therefore classify him as moderate.

Maribor Mountain Hut
Highlight • Mountain Hut
On the old foundations, the mountaineers laid a new cottage on the old foundations and opened it two years later. The exterior of the hut is still as it was at the opening, but in the interior it was much improved later on. In 1990, the Maribor Marine PD planned to build a new cottage, but due to financial difficulties, the construction was postponed. In 1992 and 1993 they renovated the old cottage, newly furnished sleeping rooms, arranged sanitary facilities, installed a new Alpine hut, always open.
