Hrastovec v Slov. goricah 22, 2230 Lenart v Slov. goricah
Castle Hrastovec, located on the hill above the valley of the river Pesnica, is one of the mightiest castles of Slovenian Styria. The name Hrastovec (originally Gvtenhage) is first mentioned in the Styrian state urbarium for the year 1265. It is assumed, however, that the first mentioning of Gvtenhage does not refer to Hrastovec castle as we now know it, but probably to a small settlement or a much smaller stronghold on the hill.

V sredini 13. stoletja naj bi na mestu dvorca stal strelski doverc. Današnja baročna stavba dvorca Freudenau izvira iz 17. stoletja. Posebnost dvorca je vzidan okrogel rimski relief iz 2. stoletja, ki predstavlja objeta zakonca. Skozi stoletja je dvorec zamenjal več lastnikov, v začetku 20. stoletja je lastnik postal najboljši dunajski veletrgovec s kavo - Julius Meinl, po katerem so domačini poimenovali grad.

We can claim with certainty that this part of Slovenske gorice has always been populated by different people, among them Romans (about 2000 years ago). Evidence of Roman settlements in these parts are the Roman barrows and tumulus. Barrows, archaeological monuments, were in the past used for burial on these parts. We differentiate between pre-historical and Roman provincial barrows.
The barrows in Slovenske gorice have an unusual characteristic - only one or two urn burials.

S priselitvijo Prekmurcev v Apaško dolino v 30. letih prejšnjega stoletja se je v Apačah osnovala evangeličanska skupnost. Za potrebe božje službe so leta 1931 kupili hišo ob glavni cesti skozi Apače ter zemljišče za pokopališče. Hiša je bila zgrajena okoli leta 1864, obnovljena leta 1917. S prihodom prvega pridigarja, Zoltana (Zlatka) Kerčmarja leta 1932, se je cerkvena občina povsem osamosvojila.

In the Őrség region the river Zala, which is just a trickling little stream here called „Szala”, had for a long time been a vital element of the landscape for the people settled here. Today it is primarily the landscape that represents the valley’s local importance. The alder groves along the stream bed and the traditional orchards on the hill sides and in the bottom of the valley are habitats of European communal importance.

Prvotno katoliško župnijsko pokopališče je bilo okoli cerkve v Apačah. Cesar Jožef II je leta 1784 z ediktom prepovedal pokopališča v središčih vasi zato se je na mestu današnjega pokopališča določila nova lokacija. Obzidje starega pokopališča je bilo odstranjeno že leta 1832. V zgodnjih letih 20. stoletja evangeličanskih vernikov ni bilo dovoljeno pokopavati na katoliškem pokopališču, le ob njem ali v drugih krajih.

The memorial was renovated in 1665 and again in 1789, but was forgotten after that and fell into ruin. The Catholic society Zarja from Lenart rebuilt the memorial on the same spot in 1939.
Zgornja Ščavnica 12, 2233 Sv. Ana v Slov. goricah
The Evangelical Cemetery, which the locals like to call ‘the Lutheran graveyard’, can be found in the area of Zgornja Ščavnica.
The history of the cemetery goes back to the 1930s. Back then, some of the residents of the municipality identified themselves as Evangelicals. Between the World Wars there was an increase in resettlement from Prekmurje to the area of Slovenske gorice. Among them there were Evangelicals that wanted to keep their faith.
The Baroque garden, the orchards and the rows of trees were established in the Heiligenkreuz era, which is today known as the castle garden and it is the biggest public park.
Contemporary documents and descriptions of the Cistercian library mention the soothing feeling of looking down onto the garden of the abbey. The area under local protection features several rare plants and consists of an English park and a Baroque garden. The Orangery is an important building herein.

The building recalls the atmosphere of the 1920s and presents how our ancestors lived and what tools they used in their everday lives. The thatched roofed house in the middle of the village was built at the end of the 1800s with the joint effort of the locals: they built a staff house for the smith of Nagykovács. The house was planned for the bank of the Zala River as the water is indispensable for cooling the wrought iron.
One of Szentgotthárd's most beautiful places is Lake Hársas in Máriújfalu which is an artificial lake fed by Hársas brook originating in the forest of the neighbouring Apátistvánfalva. It is popular not only with fishermen but also with bathers and hikers. The 1-km ‘Hársas Lake' study trial is next to the lakeside walkway and introduces the wildlife and architectural values of the lake's vicinity.

Based on its history, the pristine forest of Szalafő could not really be termed „pristine”, as it has enjoyed its relative wilderness for hardly more than half a century. However, it is one of those forested areas in Hungary that have been left in their natural condition for the longest time, and therefore it is of outstanding natural and scientific value.

The age of this very old linden tree at the edge of the village Szatta is estimated at 400 years and its origin has been traced back to the times of the country’s Turkish occupation. Legend has it that a woman fleeing from the rage of the Turks with her child had broken a twig off a linden tree and stuck it into the ground for posterity. The little twig had been blessed with life and vitality, taken root and grown into the miraculously old tree we see today.
The old cemetery chapel of Szentgotthárd, located in a small grove on the left bench of the Rába river in the vicinity of the scythe factory, is still standing.

The old part of Lenart contains buildings typical for a market settlement, including 18th century bourgeois houses which stretch from the rectory by the church along the road to Maribor, Gornja Radgona, Ptuj and Jurovski Dol. The rotovž (town hall) and hospital are what remains from the secular architecture of Lenart’s past.

Today being part of Slovenia, this village’s undoubtedly most widely known and most important natural value is the Lake of Hodos fed by the Dolenc stream. The water body of the lake brought about by using the principle of a dam is a decisive element of the landscape. What gives its outstanding natural value is primarily its avifauna which also makes it part of the international network of Important Bird Areas (IBA).

One fifth of the about 50 pairs of white storks nesting in the Őrség National Park can be found within a single settlement, Bajánsenye. Compared to other settlements this is a salient figure that can partly be attributed to the settlement structure. Along the several kms long road storks can find more places for nesting than in the smaller dispersed settlements typical of the Őrség region.

Next to the Radgona-Maribor road, once frequented by carters, stands the Šiker inn, where one can quench one’s thirst and get a full belly of good food. It all began in 1870, when Mihael and Ana Schiker began the story of the local inn for carters, which soon became popular among locals and wayfarers too. The rich experience was passed on from generation to generation, which is why we can prepare traditional, time-tested meals.
The Cistercians arriving at Szentgotthárd first started to build a place to live in, the monastery, in 1740. The plans were also made by Franz Anton Pilgram. First they began building the southern wing and the monks could move in as early as in 1746. The part of the monastery, which can still be seen today, was completed around 1750, yet the symmetrical, northern part around of the church could not be completed.
The building is now used as the Townhall.
