The Chapel of St. Vitus

On a hill in the proximity of Lake Bukovnica and in the shade of leafy, soaring trees one can find the Chapel of St. Vitus. At first, there was only a wooden cross, then, in 1828, the locals built a chapel. St. Vitus's Patron Saints’ Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday after the 15th of June, with thousands of pilgrims attending. The legend of St. Vitus and major stages of his life were painted on the chapel´s interior walls by the painter Janez Mežan. The value of the chapel and its surroundings are additionally increased by the healing spring water and the healing power of the energy spots.
