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 ickering 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. Ill 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 innite 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. Franc Miloi

Ormo
The Ormo 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 trafc routes, the rich history of Ormo 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 Ormo 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. The town was rst 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 fortied castle was erected by the Ptuj nobility to defend the border from the Hungarians. 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 Ormo. Often the town was devastated by res 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. 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 rst Monday after St. Jakobs Sunday, the Flower Fair on the Flower Friday and the St. Martin Fair on 11 November which is St. Martins Day. In 1927, Dr. Majeri founded a clinic for the treatment of rheumatic patients in Ormo. The increasing international prominence of the institution also aided the development of tourism. Ormo, situated at the intersection of important trafc routes, is valued mainly because of its natural beauty and cultural heritage. The renovation of the town was carried out by honouring the old towns appearance making Ormo today amongst the most beautiful towns in Slovenia.

The construction of the castle dates back to 1278 when Rudolph of Habsburg granted the right to build a castle 1 in Ormo to Friderik of Ptuj. The southern tract was rst constructed as a three-story fortied house which was later amplied 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 oor. 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 Ormo municipality and it houses the Franc Ksaver Meko library, the Ptuj Ormo 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 Meimurje regions, a historic exhibition Ormo in Yugoslavia of Karaorevic and Tito, an exhibition depicting the history of the Ormo rheumatic clinic inherited from Dr. Otmar Majeri, a private collection from Marko Sluga and a few modern works of art.

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 gures of Ormo and the surrounding area.

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, rst 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 rst 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. An ethnological collection is

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 Ormo Castles Outhouse. Their creation is related to the renowned gothic statues from the statuary art workshop at Ptujska Gora: the gures of St. Catherine, St. Barbara and Piet 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 years 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 rst 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.

Sveti Toma
The town of Sveti Toma 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 Lenica and Sejanci brooks, is characterised by wide ridges. There is a viewing tower 6 located on Gomila, the highest peak in Sveti Toma, which offers wonderful views of the surrounding areas. At the very centre of Sveti Toma there is a tourist map, decorated with amusing coats of arms for each individual village, which is to aid your travels through the municipality. On the way from the village Savci to Ptuj there is a large Savci pond, a favourite spot 7 amongst local shermen. Further on, in the nearby Koraice village stands a 255 year old cimprana hia or cimpraa. 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 oor constructed of compacted clay and a gable hipped roof with wide eaves, also covered with straw. Its oor 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 hia and the smaller one izba. The doors are low; the same is true for the ceeling. The cimpraa in Koraice also has a cellar, now called the Brumen cellar, and it houses a small museum of traditional antiques.

Sredice ob Dravi
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 Gradie 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, Sredie 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 Sredie 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 ght 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 Meimurje 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.
Podgorci
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 specic 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
Hum, a 301m high hill with a dispersed viticultural village on it, is a settlement located between the Ormo and Sredie 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 Ormo Lord Ladislav Pethe. The bell tower on the western facade of the Church dates back to the rst 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 Ormoke gorice.

Wine
ipon (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. 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 ipon 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 ipon. Jeruzalemske gorice offer the best conditions for the cultivation of ipon, 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 owers, reminiscent of freshly cut grass and peaches. The wine has a full taste, a pleasant freshness and it ages well. In the desire for the story of ipon cultivation in this region to be re-written with capital letters and for its old glory and reputation to be restored, a ipon Club was created. Further on, every year during the Feasts of St. Martin (Martinovanje) in Ormo, an international review of ipon Wine named Cst bon is organised. 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 rst 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 lled with happiness, strength and song. Grapes are rst collected in buckets and then carried to the press in tall wooden tubs (pte) 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.

The Ljutomer-Ormo 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.

Traditional Crafts
Traditional Crafts Through Time
Traditional crafts of the Ormo Region form an important part of the local ethnological heritage; for example pottery, bread baking, crochet and knitting, the production of childrens toys, music instruments and woollen products are still well preserved.
Cuisine
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 sufcient moisture, its cultivation ourished 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-red 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 tnka vessel in such a manner that every piece is completely covered with minced lard. Air bubbles should be avoided. The tnka 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.

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 Ormo region, are currently included in our tourist centre.
