HISTORY

»The Upper Vipava Valley – created to live in in the dark remote past before life already existed on Earth. Springs, streams, rivers, rich soil! Hills and villages watching over the valley on one side and on the other, a mysterious mountain range, loking as if the people wanted to build a safe refuge before the unknown and the unfriendly. The long, winding road descending from Razdrto to Podnanos offers you a stunning  view of the Valley and a transition from winter into spring, into a wide and broad world along the banks of the river Vipava headed for west.« (Zlobec Ciril, publication Vipavska dolina – Mali Slovenski eden)

No wonder that the Vipava Valley had a long and turbulent history and a lot of historical and other monuments have well preserved to tell us what had happened in the remote ages.
