Sorica – Grohar’s Village

Sorica is the birthplace of Ivan Grohar, a painter of light. When you arrive here, you are greeted by his bronze statue, with his hand shading his eyes from the sun so he can enjoy the view. Actually, all the views that he had put into his heart’s memory as motifs here at home, and later, abroad in less friendly places, he put them onto canvas. We are proud to be the home of an amazing artist and human being. With us you can follow his footsteps. You can really take the path that young Ivan walked to school in all weathers, the pastures where he soaked up nature while grazing, or visit the mountain where, on his visits home, he would skilfully mow and entertain himself with scythes and rakes. You can go with him right up to the cradle in his house, or let his spirit touch you and take you into the arts – musical or artistic – at workshops in his birthplace.

In Sorica you will experience a different experience of tourism. In the fast pace of life, it’s good to escape somewhere where time passes differently or where every feeling is like that. In a peaceful environment, living here is connected to nature in all seasons, and you can feel the spirit of hard-working and friendly people. With us, you can sit with a glass of wine and sip nature with all your senses in all its dimensions, in the liveliness of the day and the peace of the night. Our wide culinary offer can take you back in time or make you feel connected with everything that our country has to offer at that moment. Authenticity connects all aspects of tourism, warm-hearted and dedicated people add that extra element that turns an ordinary holiday into an unforgettable experience. The village has a tradition of tourism dating back more than a century, but it is still as authentic as it was in the past.
