We Slovenes waited for more than half a century for a translation of the world's best loved Christmas carol Silent Night. It was put into Slovene language and sung for the first time on Christmas Eve in Tržič thanks to then chaplain Jakob Aljaž.
In honour of this unique event we are preparing a special guided experience for you during the holiday season.
We'll take you from the famous Dragon of Tržič through the town centre, make a stop at the Church of St. Andrew and then continue to the oldest house in the centre of town, Kurnik House. Here you will already catch a whiff of the tantalizing smells of Tržič "flika", a characteristic local bread, and Christmas tea. You will learn the secrets of the holiday customs in the Tržič area, and holiday songs and carols will warm your heart. In the Church of the Annunciation you will learn the story of the Slovenian version of one of the most touching carols. The story of Christ's birth will come alive in the unique Tekec nativity scene, which is one of the most beautiful achievements of folk and religious culture in our country. Festive atmosphere will continue in charmingly lit and decorated town centre where the pleasant experience can lead to a lovely evening, full of warmth and holiday spirit.
