Go where locals go, and try goodies prepared by locals
The Polhov Gradec hill, with its hilltop church, is the most notable feature of Polhov Gradec and a hiking, botanical and historical attraction. In the 19th century a previously unknown plant was discovered on the hill, 'Blagajev volčin' (Blagaj's spurge laurel), which even a Saxony king visited. In addition, the hill is an important archeological site, which is attested to by its settlement dating back to prehistoric times.
