Štore: rural village near Celje



It would be too easy just to say Štore = steel factory - end of story. But that wouldn't quite be accurate. There are lots of typical picturesque Slovenian villages spread over a wide area (28.1 km squared): no major tourist attractions here, just peace, quiet and nice hilly scenery. The first settlements in the area were on the hills rising out of the Voglajna valley, in the 6th Century. Much later, the iron and steel industry grew out of its strategic location and abundant raw materials, but nowadays most of the buildings have been cleared, making the area that bit prettier once again. A nice day- or half-day trip.
