Hemmaberg/Gora Sveta Hema (Junska gora)
This site has been a popular pilgrimage destination for more than 1,500 years. Perched on a naturally protected hill (842 m above sea level) are the remnants of a large late antique settlement, once home to Romans and Celts, along with the ruins of several early Christian churches. Nearby is a cave called the Rosaliengrotte, or Rozalska jama, which features a healing spring.
