Vojnik: welcome to your home from home!
A lot has changed since Hochenecke castle was first recorded in 1164, one of the original fortifications ensuring the security of the area (then Austro-Hungarian 'Styria'), and subsequently nurturing the prosperity of its arts and crafts culture. The latter, in fact, is still thriving today - the locals enjoy singing, playing music and producing art (see Piros Gallery). The close knit community is bound also by a love of mountaineering (not to mention good pubs); the Savinjske Alpe (Savinja Alps) are not far away and the immediate landscape already feels like the beginning (or end) of the largest European mountain range. Deep green fir trees apparently signal weary hikers to take a break here, in this thoroughly homely and good natured municipality.
