Basilica of Mary Help of Christians

Reviewed By ElaineAndGreg - Chesterland, United States

How you view this site will turn a lot on why you are there and what you believe. This church became a pilgrimage site and was said to be a place of miraculous healing beginning in the 1860s. Since then, it has been made an honorary basilica by Pope (now Saint) John Paul II, who also visited in 1996. First Lady Laura Bush followed five years later. As a place of faith and healing, it is very moving. There is a painting of a Madonna and Child in a side chapel that is the primary focus. When we visited on a Tuesday morning, there were several people already there. If you visit, you'll want to go into the chapel behind the painting (it's OK) and you'll see hundreds of tributes of those who visited and believe they were healed here. I am inherently skeptical about such accounts, but had to agree that there was something spiritually very special about this church. Please note that the title of "basilica" is honorary because of the church's spiritual importance. In terms of it's size, it is typical of the churches in this area, but likely a lot smaller than what you would ordinarily associate with that term. Whether or not you are drawn by (or believe in) faith, this is a very pretty church that is worth a visit.

Vodnik Square (Vodnikov trg)

Reviewed By petecmalta - Island of Malta, Malta

Vodnik Square spans the area from the Dragon Bridge across Pogačar Square to the Triple Bridge. It is named after Valentin Vodnik, a Slovene priest of historical importance and there is a towering monument with a statue in the square to commemorate him. Across the street from the monument is a path leading to Castle Hill. The square is also part of the very busy outdoor Central Market with lots of stalls selling fruits, vegetables and other foodstuffs together with artisan products, clothes and other accessories.

Marble chiseled to a tombstone and an artistic masterpiece. Visitors can walk around for free or even sit down and have refreshment in the shadow of the Town tower. Monument is an ideal spot for a selfie.

Monument To Four Courageous Men

The four brave men from Bohinj were the first to climb to the summit of Mount Triglav as early as on 26 August 1778. Encouraged by Baron Žiga Zois, a central figure of Slovenian enlightenment, this adventure was undertaken by Lovrenc Willomitzer (a doctor from Stara Fužina), hunter Štefan Rožič, miner Matija Kos from Jereka, and Luka Korošec from Koprivnik. This achievement has been commemorated by the monument in Ribčev Laz. It was made by Stojan Batič and erected at the 200th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Triglav.
