Landmarks

The source and the upper flow of the Grab River  [ hr ], known for its natural beauty and cultural heritage, is a protected important landscape. A right-bank trail follows the 2 km river, entering a short canyon with hornbeam, oak, and willow woods. The river branches into ponds with small waterfalls. Wildlife includes around a dozen bird species and about a dozen reptile and amphibian species. [5]

Several old flour mills are situated near the source of the Grab River. The oldest date back to the 17th century, with construction continuing until the 19th century. Some of these mills are still operational, offering a glimpse into past ways of life. [6]

The stone parish church of John the Baptist was built in 1874 on a hill on the Grab River's left bank. It has a single nave, a rectangular apse, and a bell tower with two-light windows and a pyramid roof on its main facade. It is surrounded by an old walled cemetery. [7]
