Opis |
The municipality of Ig is situated 10 kilometres from Ljubljana, at the edge of the Ljubljana Marshes, at the northen foot of Krim (1107 m) and Mokrec (1058 m). It consists of the low land of the Ljubljana Marshes and the hilly hinterland with the peaks of Krim, Mokrec and Kurešček. The villages lie at the edge of the Ljubljana Marshes plain, as characteristic roadside settlements on the gravel banks of the River Iška. The municipality of Ig borders five municipalities: Ljubljana, Ĺ kofljica, Velike Lašče, Cerknica and Brezovica. The municipal centre and headquarters is at Ig, where Studenec, a powerful source of the River Ižica, is located. Ig was first mentioned 750 years ago, although the history of the region goes back much further. The lake dwellers lived on the Ljubljana Marshes 6,000 years ago. As well as boats made from tree trunks – “drevaki”, the most interesting artefact found in the area is a black polished earthenware bowl. It is decorated with carvings called “woman´s idol”, depicting a woman wearing a linen dress. It dates back to 2,000 B.C. and was found on the Dežman lake-dwelling site near Ig, in 1876. The times when Romans settled the region have not yet been thoroughly researched, although more than 100 Roman gravestones have been found in the area. These are now built into the walls of Ljubljana cathedral, while some of them are stored in St. Michael´s church at Iška vas. Special attention should be paid to a rock carving from the 1st century A.D., called “Stari dedec” (Old Man), between Staje and Kot, located where an ancient Roman village road used to run. This is one of only a few similar monuments in Europe. |
