Arrival of the Prlek
A man walked up a hill.
Like a nipple on the breast of a
virgin he inhaled the sun above,
feeling the fertile land under his feet.
Of bread and of wine was the smell
of the softest of winds, chasing itself round the
highest of poplars and crooked, yet fruitful apple trees.
The dark and mysterious forests provided the wood and
the clear water springs in their hollows.
There he stood, overtaken by a wonderful godly daze. An itch in
his palms to cut wood and use it to build a mighty hut.
He lowered his eyelids and there, on the southern slopes, a bushel of
fertile tendrils, covered yellowy grapes.
Unrest emerged under his feet from the soil. The flickering afternoon
heat inebriated him, as if wanting to obliterate all of this paradise
around him. He remained sober and circumspect. »Here I shall stay,
here I will never lack anything. I’ll swiftly build up a home. The others
which follow will surely be wanting this heaven on earth.«
And so he stayed on the hills of Prlekija. Impregnating the soil with
sweat, the latter repaying with wine. He ploughed the lengthy slopes
creating infinite rolls just like potica.
His axe ripped open the tree and there laid a path to a wonderful
house. He wanted to kiss the sun and in return it placed an evening
glair into his eyes. He was thankful to God
and thus rewarded with a joyful
nature and hospitality.
On the seventh day he vowed to accept
every visitor just like a brother.
There is enough wine and potica for both.
There is enough sun
from Prklekija for all.

The construction of the castle dates back to 1278 when Rudolph of Habsburg granted the right to build a
castle 1 in Ormož to Friderik of Ptuj. The southern tract was first constructed as a three-story fortified
house which was later amplified with a large walled court yard. The northeast corner of the building was
protected with a defense tower which housed a castle church on the second floor. The latter has been
preserved to this day. After the decline of the Ptuj Lords in the 15th century, various noble families owned
the property. Currently the castle serves as a venue for representation purposes of the Ormož municipality
and it houses the Franc Ksaver Meško library, the Ptuj – Ormož Regional Museum, Radio Prlek and the
Tourist-Information Centre (TIC).
Next to select classicist works of art, which rank among the best in Slovenia, the castle houses an
archeological exhibition. It includes ‘Between the Rivers Drava and Mura – the presentation of the
archeological heritage of the communities within the Prlekija and Meðimurje regions’, a historic
exhibition ‘Ormož in Yugoslavia of Karaðorðevic and Tito’, an exhibition depicting the history of the Ormož
rheumatic clinic inherited from Dr. Otmar Majerič, a private
collection from Marko Sluga and a few modern works of art.
The Ormož Castle’s Outhouse
The Ormož Castle’s Outhouse 2 includes of a number of
barns, which were built throughout different time periods starting
in the 18th century. The complex currently houses the Medieval
Statutes from the Ormož area exhibition, the archeological
exhibition From toy to urn, a thematic presentation of the Ormož
late Bronze Age and Iron Age pottery (11th to 1st century BC)
and the exhibition Pottery in Praise of a Potter.

In addition to general town privileges the
townsfolk were also allowed to organise annual
fairs. This tradition has been preserved to the
present day; the St. Jakob Fair continues to
take place on the first Monday after St. Jakob’s
Sunday, the Flower Fair on the Flower Friday
and the St. Martin Fair on 11 November which is
St. Martin’s Day.
After the year 1910, when the castle passed into the hands of
the Wurmbrand-Stuppach family, a large park 3 was planted
around it. It includes a number of exotic trees, among them
the Maklura, the Tulip Tree and the Ginkgo. Due to its design
and variety it is considered to be one of the most beautiful
gardens in Slovenia and one of the most exceptionally well
preserved Slovene castle parks. At the eastern end of the park
a chapel was constructed in the beginning of the 20th century.
It contains a tomb in which the last castle owners are buried. In
front of the castle there is a memorial walkway devoted to the
major figures of Ormož and the surrounding area.

Church of St. Jakob
In 1927, Dr. Majerič founded a clinic for the
treatment of rheumatic patients in Ormož.
The increasing international prominence of the
institution also aided the development of tourism.
Ormož, situated at the intersection of important
traffic routes, is valued mainly because of
its natural beauty and cultural heritage. The
renovation of the town was carried out by
honouring the old town’s appearance making
Ormož today amongst the most beautiful
towns in Slovenia.

The town, separated from the castle with walls,
continued to develop independently. To honour
the Ptuj Lord Friderik, who imparted city rights
to the town, it was renamed Friedau. However,
the previous name Holermus was not completely
forgotten. Through centuries of phonetic changes
the name of the town developed into the current
name of Ormož.
Often the town was devastated by fires and was
ravaged by the Hungarians (1487), Turks (1532),
rebel Hungarian farmers (1605) and the Kruci
(1704). A more peaceful era for its development
began only in the second half of the 18th century.

The town was first mentioned with the name of
Holermus in a document dating back to the year
1273. Due to its strategic importance it attained
municipal rights in 1293 and city rights in
1331. At the time battles for the eastern border
between the Hungarian kings and the Salzburg
archdiocese were taking place. It is for this
reason, a fortified castle was erected by the Ptuj
nobility to defend the border from the Hungarians.

The Ormož natural terrace extending along the
Drava River was already inhabited around
2100 BC. Here, under the hills of Slovenske
gorice, at the crossroads of major traffic routes,
the rich history of Ormož was weaved. During the
Bronze Age it surpassed all of the surrounding
localities in importance, size and the originality
of urban design. Archeological remains testify to
the existence of rich building technology and a
vibrant residential, culinary and drinking culture.
At the time Ormož was the largest settlement of
the Eastern Alps.
To this day we are not certain as to the reasons
for its later decline. It experienced a recovery
only during the Middle Ages.
View of Kerencic Square
At the eastern edge of the Town Square of Ormož stands the parish church of St. Jakob 4 . The
oldest part of the building is the rectangular nave, the construction of which dates back to the first
half or middle of the 14th century.
The choir was built as an extension to the nave around
the year 1400 or in the first half of the 15th century. The
vestry with its renowned decoration in the lunette of the
portal was constructed on the northern side of the church.
The north chapel was most likely built as an extension
to the church during the latter part of the 14th century.
Before the end of the century it was barrel-vaulted and
connected with the church by a polygonal joint.
The nave, initially with a straight ceiling, was also
barrel-vaulted in a baroque style after a city fire in 1647.
Later remodeling in the 19th century did not substantially
alter the church.
The oldest frescos originate from the middle of the 14th
century, while the expressive composition of the Last
Judgment was created on the wall of the triumphal arch
in 1630. There is a significant painting on the north side
of the nave, where 48 scenes from the Old and New
Testament are depicted in four rows. Another interesting
part of the Ormož Franciscan monastery interior is the
baptismal font from the 16th century. The monastery
was founded by Jakob Szekely at the end of the 15th century. Opposite the entrance of the church is
the Late Baroque Mary’s Pillar.

Velika Nedelja
The locality acquired its name after
a battle, which supposedly took
place on the Easter Sunday before
the year 1200. During this battle
Friderik II of Ptuj, aided by the
German Chivalric order, snatched
the non-populated territory of Velika
Nedelja from the Hungarians and
bestowed it upon the German order
for their help in the battle.
Velika Nedelja became an important
urban settlement especially due
to its ecclesiastical administrative
functions. The symbols of its former
glory are the Parish Church of the
Holy Trinity , built soon after
the year 1200 (the roman apse
contains the oldest baptismal font
in Slovenia from around the year
1235) and the castle
– the
old Teutonic Knights’ of the Cross
command post, first mentioned in
the year of 1273, yet judging by its
design, it had certainly originated
around the year 1200.
The medieval centre of the
castle has been preserved in the
south-western part of the castle
building. In the rest of the castle the
Renaissance elements prevail. The
first restoration of the castle was
carried out under the commander
of a knightly order Markvard
Egkh-Hungersbach between 1612
and 1619. Further on, between the
1723 and 1730 yet another broad
restoration was undertaken, during
which the castle attained an image
of a modern baroque residence.

Podgorci
Hum
Podgorci is a picturesque village
under the southern slopes of
Slovenske gorice, located in a
viticultural region underneath
(‘pod’) hills covered by vineyards
(‘gorice’). This specific location
determined the name of the village
(‘Podgorci’).
Every spring a ‘Vincekovanje’
and the ‘Holiday of wine and
home-made dishes’ festivities
are organised, the latter being the
most important local tourist event.
Above the village stands a lategothic parish church of St. Lenart
with a quality baroque pulpit 3 .
Hum, a 301m high hill with a
dispersed viticultural village
on it, is a settlement located
between the Ormož and Središče
municipalities. Replacing the older
chapel, the community Church of
St. John the Baptist 4 was
erected in 1611. It was constructed
in a Late-Gothic style by the Ormož
Lord Ladislav Pethe.
The bell tower on the western
facade of the Church dates back
to the first half of the 18th century,
whereas the vaulted nave and the
vestry were constructed at the
beginning of the 19th century.
The Hum settlement offers a
wonderful view of Ormoške gorice.

on display at the castle. The
castle chapel used to house two
famous Gothic sculptures; one of
St. Margaret and the other of an
unknown saint (possibly St. Dorothy)
from around 1400, which are
currently on display at the Ormož
Castle’s Outhouse.
Their creation is related to the
renowned gothic statues from the
statuary art workshop at Ptujska
Gora: the figures of St. Catherine, St.
Barbara and Pietà from the chapel of
the Velika Nedelja Castle (currently
exhibited at the Ptuj Regional
Museum). There is an uncanny
resemblance between the statutes
of St. Margaret and the unknown
saint on one hand and St. Catherine
and St. Barbara on the other, which
leads to an assumption about the
existence of a group of four virgin
saints. The castle also houses a
permanent historic exposition
Velika Nedelja through the centuries.
The guided tour includes the viewing
of both the castle chapel and the
Holy Trinity Church.

The Svetinje village is nestled amongst wonderful
vineyards. At the same location where the
baroque church stands today, a chapel was
constructed in 1603 in honour of all the saints.
According to local legend, passers-by stopped in
front of the chapel, prayed to God and exclaimed:
»All the saints, please pray for us! «. This
custom gave the name to the church and to the
surrounding village.
The Parish Church of All the Saints 11 is of a
uniform construction with a partially preserved
original baroque interior and with frescos of the
popular Friulian painter Jakob Brollo. Next to
the church, in a marvelous ambiance of a 300
year’s old vaulted cellar, the winery 12 offers
wines produced by the best winemakers from
the Jeruzalem area.
A rich selection of wines and other local treats
is presented during the guided taste tour for
large and small groups.
The Svetinje village also offers a parking lot for
motor homes 13 .
Jeruzalem with its strong energetic vibe, wine
routes with exquisite white wine, wonderful
viewpoints, baroque pilgrimage church, the
hallmark of the Jeruzalem veduta, is rightly so
proclaimed to be a piece of heaven. An opinion
shared by the crusaders passing through the
Styria region in the 13th century on their way
to Jerusalem, Palestine.
With a rich baroque style from the first half of
the 18th century and the impressive altar in the
north chapel dedicated to St. Ana, the Church
of the Mary of the Seven Sorrows 15 truly is
a pearl in the heart of Slovenske Gorice.

The town of Sveti Tomaž developed
on the site of an ancient Neolithic
settlement. The parish church 5 ,
constructed between the years 1715
– 1727 is an important, stylistically
advanced, baroque architecture with
a ground plan in the shape of an
isosceles cross and a half-domeshaped central space. Its interiors
are decorated with frescoes of Jakob
Brollo from 1894.
The surrounding hilly landscape,
located between the springs of
the Lešnica and Sejanci brooks, is
characterised by wide ridges. There
is a viewing tower 6 located on
Gomila, the highest peak in Sveti

On the way from the village Savci
to Ptuj there is a large Savci pond,
a favourite spot 7 amongst local
fishermen. Further on, in the nearby
Koračice village stands a 255 year
old ‘cimprana hiša’ or ‘cimprača’. 8
It is a traditional Pannonian house,
entirely construced of wood and
thickly covered with a mixture of clay
and straw. It has an earthen floor
constructed of compacted clay and
a gable hipped roof with wide eaves,
also covered with straw. Its floor plan
is typical for a Pannonian house; an
antechamber with a black kitchen,
a pantry and two rooms; the larger
one containing a bread oven is called
‘hiša’ and the smaller one ‘izba’. The
doors are low; the same is true
for the ceeling. The ‘cimprača’ in
Koračice also has a cellar, now called
the Brumen cellar, and it houses a
small museum of traditional antiques.

This area was already settled in the Early Stone
Age. First written records of the settlement
date back to 1255, when the Ptuj Lords
received a tower-like castle at Gradišče from
the Hungarian king Bela IV as part of a feudal
tenure. As a stronghold on the old provincial
border with Hungary it must have been quite
important, however information on it is scarce.
In 1523 it is known to have been ravaged
by the Turks, and in 1589 it was already
documentated to be in ruins.
Today, Središče is well known for its oil mill, 9
with centuries-old tradition of natural pumpkin
seed oil production, renowned both at home
and abroad. It is possible to observe the
production process and taste the dishes
made from pumpkin oil and seeds. Other
memorable sights in Središče are the lategothic Church of the Mother of Sorrows
with a rich baroque interior. The historical
collection of the Local National Liberation
War, offering glimpses of the fight against the
aggressor and in nearby Grabe, the medieval
church of the Holy Trinity 10 with a well
preserved late-gothic tabernacle.
Kog
The dispersed viticultural settlement with a
breath-taking view to the Croatian Meðimurje
County spreads over two ridges and connects
six villages: Gomila, Kog, Lacaves, Jastrebce,
Vitan and Vodranci. The majority of the local
inhabitants work in viticulture, farming, fruit
growing and stockbreeding.
The Church of St. Bolfenk 14 is located in the
heart of the village Kog. Constructed around
the end of the 17th century, on the location
where an older chapel from 1607 stood. It
has a typical Early-Baroque ground plan,
constituting of a large rectangular nave, a bell
tower and a small square presbytery. During
the War, as a consequence of the Eastern
Front it was half demolished in 1945. In 1959
it was partially rebuilt.
The first record of a nucleated village, with its
Church of St. Nicholas 16 , dates back to 1486.
In 1655, the church was expanded for the first
time. It attained its present shape and size
between 1683 and 1692. By 1696 its interior
was finished. Particularly interesting is the
main altar which dates back to 1716 and is the
largest altar in the broader Ormož area. The rest
of the interior which is of a rich baroque design,
originates from the first half of the 18th century.
Part of the southern wall of the aisle and the
majority of the north-western bell tower has
been preserved from the original smaller and
lower church.
The village also has a Museum of Firefighting,
which displays the largest collection of fire
hoses in the Styria Region (Štajerska).
The motto of the Teutonic German Order »to
help, to defend, to heal« was upheld also at
the Temnar Mansion. Up till 1249 the Mansion
was a ‘shooting manor’ of the Knight of Ptuj
Herman, later it was attained by the Teutonic
Knights’ of the Cross as a command post. It
was later remodeled in a baroque style.

The viticultural area alongside the Ormož
Wine Route spreads out into two branches;
extending for 30km, the first one starts in
Ormož, or more precisely in Dobrava, and
leads over Kog and Strežetine to Runeč. It then
goes through Žvab toward Pršetinci passing
through Koračiški vrh, Senik, Sodinski Vrh
and Drakšl and Velika Nedelja. The second
branch, approximately 10km long, extends
from Podgorci to Cvetkovski Vrh and over the
Bresnica valley to Zamušanski Vrh. The Ormož
Wine Route allows for access to the Jeruzalem
Wine Route.
The former exhibits extraordinary natural
beauty and a rich ethnologic and historic
culture. The hillsides of Ormoške gorice are
home to vintage wines such as ‘laški rizling’
(Welschriesling), ‘šipon’ (Furmint), sauvignon,
‘traminec’ (Traminer), ‘beli pinot’ (Pinot blanc),
chardonnay and ‘renski rizling’ (Rhine Riesling).
One can also find a number of traditional wine
cellars; typically wooden, straw-covered, with
their origins dating back to the 18th and 19th
century. The locals denominate such wine
cellars ‘klečaje’ (‘klečaja’ in singular).

The Nature Park, stretching between Ormož and
Središče of Dravi municipalities, is very rich in
different habitat types and it boasts extraordinary
bio diversity.
Experts and enthusiasts have counted 105 types
of nesting birds, 15 types of amphibians, 9 types
of reptiles and numerous mammals. The most
important ones being the hamster and the otter
(endangered mammals in Europe).
A array of colours can be seen with over 30
types of dragonflies and more than 100 types
of butterflies flying around. Adding to this
extraordinary esthetic value of the park are colourful
waterside plants.
43 different types of fish have so far been identified
in the Drava River. Its offshoots are home to crayfish
and the brook lamprey, whereas the ‘veliki mlakar’
(Lymnaeidae) and ‘rozeni svitek’ (Planorbarius
corneus) snails, together with different types of
mussels, are quite common in the backwater.
The Drava River with its affluents and embankments
is a perfect venue for walks, fishing, horseback
riding and biking.
This pristine world is full of river offshoots, islands,
backwaters, gravel pits and river reeds.
An almost 2km long floodplain, an extraordinary
landscape on the Slovene and European level,
has been preserved due to its safe distance
from the villages.
However the greatest quality of the river is it’s free
and playful current, which constantly alters its path.
Disability Access Route
This route enables wheelchair access and is
the first such path in the world. The incentive
for its creation came from the Association for
the Disabled of Ormož. The hiking pathway has
landmarks that are wells, which is why the
route is called From well to well.
Around 15 km long and starting at Vodranci, it
allows for parts of the path to be traveled by car.
The friendly farms along the route offer hikers
home-made traditional dishes from Prlekija
and good local wines.
THE JERUZALEM WINE ROUTE - VTC 15
Starting in Ormož, the Jeruzalem Wine Route
leads to Ivanjkovci and then through Svetinje
and Jeruzalem, towards Miklavž pri Ormožu
and Kog and back towards Miklavž and Ormož.
The Jeruzalem Mansion is open for everyone
that appreciates the harmony of carefully
selected dishes and great wines. It is
surrounded with an arboretum of exotic trees.
The Wine Route leads past the Malek Vineyard
Cottage, located between Svetinje and
Jeruzalem. Its vaulted cellar holds a small
museum of viticulture and a large wine
press. It also has a house chapel with frescoes
dating back to the 17th century. The building,
more than 300 years old, was once used by
its former owners as a dwelling whereas the
outbuilding served the different stages of grape
processing and wine cultivation. It is now a
tourist hotspot, opening its door to groups and
individuals (prior reservation is necessary).
In addition to the Malek Vineyard Cottage there
are a number of other vineyard cottages, wine
shops, taverns and tourist farms located in the
area. They offer excellent wine and diverse
culinary delights. The Wine Route itself is
suitable for biking, horseback riding, carriage
rides and for long walks on well-marked trails
leading through the vineyards.

LJUTOMER
Šipon
Šipon (also known as furmint, mosler,
moslavac) is the oldest variety of wine grape
in Jeruzalemske gorice; it is claimed, that it was
already cultivated by the Romans.
The Ljutomer-Ormož Gorice ranks amongst one of the most famous Slovenian
viticultural landscapes. Due to an abundance of summer sun, sufficient
moisture and fertile soil, vineyards thrive in this region, predominately on
the sunny side of the hills.
Wine growing is a deep rooted tradition which hails back to Roman
times. Nowadays wine growing and the wine trade represents the principal
economic activities of the local people within the region. With the
production of high quality wines, they are the backbone to local tourism.
It was likely brought to Slovenia from the areas
surrounding the Black Sea. In Hungary the
grape is used for the production of the famous
Tokaj Wine. The name Šipon originates from the
time of the Illyrian provinces, when Napoleon
and his soldiers shouted »Si, bon! « (Yes, good),
as they were drinking this wine, which the locals
interpreted as Šipon.
Jeruzalemske gorice offer the best conditions
for the cultivation of Šipon, which is a late
variety as it ripens only in late October.
With the proper treatment of this grape variety
already at the vineyard and later on in the cellar,
we can produce wines with the taste of unique
genteel flowers, reminiscent of freshly cut
grass and peaches. The wine has a full taste, a
pleasant freshness and it ages well.
Grape Harvesting
In this region grape harvesting, the best known
and most awaited chore of the viticulturalist,
remains a unique experience; it has retained
the character of jolly festivity. The harvests
begin in the first half of August and last until
late October. Even though the period tends to be
quite tiresome due to the numerous bird-scaring
rattles (‘klopotec’) positioned throughout this
region, the grape pickers always remain filled
with happiness, strength and song. Grapes
are first collected in buckets and then carried
to the press in tall wooden tubs (‘püte’) by the
especially strong boys and men.
Supported by the best home-made dishes and
strengthened by last-years wine they work on
the wine presses long into the night, tasting the
sweet must, wondering about the quality of the
wine it will turn into.
In the desire for the story of Šipon cultivation
in this region to be re-written with capital
letters and for its old glory and reputation to be
restored, a Šipon Club was created.
Further on, every year during the Feasts
of St. Martin (Martinovanje) in Ormož, an
international review of Šipon Wine named
»Cést bon« is organised.

St. Martin’s Day Celebration
St. Martin Day (‘Martinovanje’) is an important
fall celebration, the character of which retains
strong ties with local cultural heritage. On
11 November, St Martin Day, the work in the
vineyard is concluded and it’s around this
period that must turns into wine. This important
task was assigned to St. Martin. The ritual
accompanying the so called christening of
must has been preserved to this day. It entails
a church blessing and is characterised by
frivolous revelry. Events on St. Martin Day
are said to take place everywhere where the
harvest is truly valued.
Ormož is renowned for the organization of one
of the biggest ‘Martinovanje’ in Slovenia.

Traditional Crafts
Through Time
Traditional crafts of the Ormož Region form
an important part of the local ethnological
heritage; for example pottery, bread baking,
crochet and knitting, the production of
children’s toys, music instruments and
woollen products are still well preserved.
Some crafts are a continuation of traditional
craftsmanship, for example ‘cvečarstvo’
(making flowers out of crepe paper). Artisanal
skills and knowledge, passed down from
generation to generation, continues to be used
for manufacture, though nowadays with more
advanced tools.
As part and parcel of our local heritage, the
crafts preserved in the Ormož region, are
currently included in our tourist centre.
Numerous craftsmen from the Ormož region
hold a ‘Rokodelstvo Art&Craft Slovenija’
certificate.

Pumpkin Seed Oil
‘Tünka’
Pumpkin seed oil is made by pressing the seeds
from a local variety of pumpkin (Slovenska
golica, Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca) brought to
Europe from America after its discovery. Due to
an abundance of sun and sufficient moisture, its
cultivation flourished in our region.
The seeds contain a lot of protein and unsaturated
fatty acids, as well as minerals such as magnesium,
calcium, silicon, selenium and zinc and vitamins A,
B1, B2, C, D and E. The vitamins have a long term
effect on the nervous system. They also enhance
muscle strength. The seeds are rich in cucurbitin,
a rare amino acid, which can effectively normalise
the functioning of the prostate gland.
Doctors recommend the consumption of pumpkin
seed oil also for a poor functioning bladder and to
lower cholesterol.
It is the most well known meat specialty of the
Prlekija region. Its recipe and traditional way of
making it are protected. The preparation process
calls for special ingredients and conditions.
The basis for the dish is pork meat, produced
according to old customs of pig feeding. The best
pieces (legs, loin, sirloin or neck) are desalinated
for a period of at least two weeks. When the meat
attains a nice red color it is dry-heat treated in a
wood-fired bread oven and smoked.
To prepare the typical minced lard (‘zabel’) of
Prlekija, the lightly smoked bacon needs to be
minced, grinded and adequately seasoned. As
the meat cools down it is carefully placed into
a wooden ‘tünka’ vessel in such a manner that
every piece is completely covered with minced lard.
Air bubbles should be avoided. The tünka then
has to be placed in an adequately cool and dark
space. When served, the meat is removed from
the minced lard, cut straight away and offered with
home-made bread, cheese, minced lard, gherkins,
pickled mushrooms or any other culinary treat.

‘Pogace and Gibanice‘
‘Pogače’ and ‘gibanice’ are typical dishes from
‘krušna peč’, a traditional wood-fired bread oven.
Their names vary across different localities from
‘posolenke’, ‘postržjače’, ‘ocvirkovke’, ‘krapci’
and so forth. Yet they are all prepared basically
in the same way; when baking bread the
housewives would roll some of the bread dough
flat, bake it and serve it with different dressings
made from minced lard, cracklings or cottage
cheese. This way the children were not hungry
while the bread was still cooling down.
These dishes were prepared in a more
elaborate manner for the workers
during haymaking, harvesting,
working at the vineyard or for
larger holidays.
‘PRLEŠKA GIBANICA’
‘Prleška gibanica’, also called
‘prleška pogača’ or ‘pokrpanka’
is prepared from multiple layers
of dough and filling.
Start by preparing the dough and
then let it rest for 30 minutes. Cover
the pan with the first layer of dough and
first layer of filling. Divide the rest of the
dough in multiple parts (4 to 6). Cover the first
layer of cottage cheese filing with another layer
of dough and filling. Procede until all the dough
is used. Cover the second last layer of dough
with sour cream (or butter or oil).
Then the last layer should be covered with
a mix of sour cream and egg. Bake for 45
minutes at 180 °C.

CARNIVAL CELEBRATION IN ORMOŽ,

Ormož region has a rich carnival tradition. In the
past, people would masquerade as ploughmen,
chicken, bears or gypsies to chase away the
winter. Today this spring rite is characterised
by city carnival processions and masquerades,

the longest tradition. It takes place every year on
Pancake Tuesday, traditionally at 14:00.
