My home village Vogrsko






I live in a small village Vogrsko near Nova Gorica. The village is 16 square kilometers large and has approximately of 850 inhabitants. Through the village are running two streams Lijak and Vogršček. Vogrsko is typical peasant village. Farmers in our village are specialized in viticulture, fruit growing and agriculture. Village is divided on few different settlements: Stara Gora, Jazbine, Britof, Brje, Mali dunaj, Replje, Dombrava, Lijak. I live in settlement Stara Gora. There is a lot of forest and few houses. I like this place because it is very calm and relaxing. You can take a walk, cycle or enjoy in nature there. We have also many other interesting things in Vogrsko, for example two old castles, in one is now school. Second mansion was renewed back in 1995 and is now in pride of the village. In center of village we have church that is dedicated to sacrosanct Just and Gotard. It was built in 1493. In settlement Replje is artificial lake Vogršček which is long two kilometers and up to 35 meters deep. In village we have second oldest choir in Slovenia and 75 years old brass orchestra.
