Highlight • Mountain Hut

It is a tough climb along the toboggan run, but absolutely worth it. A beautiful view over Maribor.

St. Bolfenk Church (Slovene: Cerkev Sv. Bolfenk), Pohorje

Highlight • Religious Site

Church of St. Bolfenka on Pohorje has undergone many changes over the centuries. In its immediate vicinity, a prehistoric path ran along the mountain ridge, as evidenced by the mounds, post trenches, Pohorje foundry and other finds all the way to Sv. Areha.

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.

Mariborska Koča Mountain Hut

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Hut

Mariborska koča is a mountain hut high on a plateau in the Pohorje Hills above Maribor. The hut has a chequered history, having been burnt down during the Second World War and subsequently rebuilt. Today, it enjoys wonderful views of the rolling green landscape. Just a short hike away from the hut is Slap Skalca, a mightily impressive cascade.

Bear in mind, the hut is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
