Trip to the top of Pohorje – to Bolfenk
(Friday, 22 September at 18.30; meeting point in front of the Habakuk Hotel)
The Habakuk Convention Centre is situated at the foot of the Pohorje mountain range, where the Alps end and pass into the Panonian plain. Pohorje is a plateau of granite rising to about 1500 m above sea level with an abundance of lakes and streams running into the valley. The numerous streams gave Pohorje its name (the word Pohorje comes from the German word Bachergebirge, which literally means "stream-filled hills"). In winter, Pohorje turns into the largest skiing resort in Slovenia, where a women's ski world-cup race has been taking place every January for the past fifty years.
Pohorje is rich in natural and cultural heritage. The church of Saint Bolfenk, situated on 1044 m above sea level, is one of the most significant cultural landmarks. Originally built in 1291, it was refurbished in the late Gothic style in 1501. After it had been abolished due to the reforms of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II in 1785, the church got renovated and turned into the oldest mountain hostel on Pohorje. A fire destroyed the church in 1950, but it was re-opened 50 years later in 2000.
Today, the Natural and Cultural Heritage Centre – Bolfenk on Pohorje is a favourite tourist spot easily accessible from the Habakuk Hotel by a cable car, which will take you to the top of Pohorje. You can enjoy the panoramic view across the countryside that stretches all the way to Austria and Hungary. On Bolfenk, the evening will culminate in a torch-lit "Pohorje party" with traditional music and dance, food and drink so typical for the Pohorje people who make their living from forestry and glasswork. The exhibitions in the Bolfenk Centre will give more insight into traditional trades of this region.
The entertainment will be provided by the Folklore Association of students of the University of Maribor, which for decades have taken a great interest in local traditions. With the help of a few glasses of the famous blueberry liquor and the jolly atmosphere created by the Folklore Society, the HCC7 participants will be able to join in for some singing and dancing. An old mountain saying says: There is no sin above the altitude of 1000 metres. Why not take the opportunity?
At around 22.00, we will take the cable car and go back to the hotel.
