Carthusian monastery in Žiče

If you haven't visited Žiče carthusian monastery yet, I can only strongly recommend that you do. It's nice to stroll around the walled-in estate full of ruins and semi-renovated buildings. The monastery was first built in the 12th century and was famous for hosting the first pharmacy in Slovenia.

Fajne fotke... In kje so Žiče?

Hvala! Žiče so blizu Slovenskih Konjic, samostan pa še kakšnih osem km proti zahodu, skrit v eni dolini. :) Se splača poiskat.
