It may be the smallest municipality in this guide by population, but don’t let that fool you. Trzin is a delightful mix of history and the modern world that is well worth a visit. Excavations point to it being inhabited since the days of the Romans, with a hatchet discovered in the town’s quarry hinting at Neolithic inhabitation. The oldest preserved document of the town dates back to 1273, when Vilijem Svibenjki willing gave up the rights to six forms to those dastardly Teutonic Knights. Maybe not so willingly, we’re not sure.

Trzin is famous as a town of butchers, with the famous Kranjska klobasa (sausage) having its origins in the town. Trzin finally gained independence as a municipality in 1998 but it has always been a fairly prosperous and developed area. Split into three areas as it has expanded, most of Trzin’s attractions (as well as the soul of the town) are found in the old part on the slopes of Onger hill. Here you’ll find the 14th century St. Florian Church as well as some aesthetically fascinating old architecture. The area around Trzin is all meadows and streams, with some great hiking spots by Dobeno and Rašica evoking emotional serenity by all possible means.
