About this Stone
In this small town, a charming little chapel stands as a quiet reminder of the region’s deep faith and long ironworking tradition. The area was once the heart of Carniola’s iron industry. During the 18th and 19th centuries, chapels like this were built to provide protection for miners and smiths, offering them a place to pray before and after their demanding work. A fascinating detail is that the town is home to one of the largest preserved blast furnaces in Europe, dating back to 1826, a proud symbol of its ironmaking past. A penguin stone rests near the chapel, a little guardian blending whimsy with history, waiting for the next curious traveler to spot it.
