"On International Museum Day, the Žička kartuzija Monastery traditionally opens its doors and offers free guided tours for visitors.
This year as well, we are organizing free guided tours for visitors at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, and 16:00.
For those visiting outside the scheduled free guided tours, a 50% discount on the regular ticket price is available with the purchase of an entry ticket.
Visitors can explore the site with a tour guide or audio guide, and there are also special guided experiences for children.
On this day, you can also visit the herbal apothecary, pottery studio, Carthusian herb gardens, four permanent exhibitions on the rich Carthusian heritage, and two lapidariums displaying the finest examples of stone carving. You can also explore Otakar’s sparkling wine cellar, a model of the Žička kartuzija Monastery, and the restored Church of St. John the Baptist with a movable roof.
Surrounding the Žička kartuzija Monastery is the Silent Energy Thematic Trail, which runs along the outer monastery wall and offers a chance to experience the site’s unique and peaceful energy.
Right beside the Žička kartuzija stands the Gastuž Inn (est. 1467)—the oldest still-operating inn in Slovenia—home to the fine dining restaurant Spargus located on the upper floor.
