Quite the opposite! For one thing, the Krka River, which is also aptly called the ‘Belle of Dolenjska’, runs through this area in the very heart of Dolenjska. However, the Krka is not just lovely to look at, you can go rowing or fishing on it or travel down the river in a raft. Although the numerous mill wheels that used to be turned by the river have long since stopped turning, you can still see these vestiges of the past in Vavta Vas and a few other locations in the municipality. Just a stone’s throw above the green river rises Straška Gora.
