Name
The name Hrastje is derived from the Slovene common noun hrast 'oak', referring to the local vegetation.[3]
Church
On the slopes of the Pohorje range, at the highest point of the settlement's territory on a hill overlooking Maribor, lie the ruins of a local church dedicated to Saint Wolfgang (Slovene: sveti Bolfenk). It was built at the end of the 15th century and was disused from 1785 onward. By 1869 it was already a ruin and began to be used as a mountain hut.[4] A small chapel and the belfry have been restored.
gollark: Good to know. I'll just fix the delay at 10 minutes or something for now though.
gollark: It's possible that my bot is limited to one post per 10 minutes in which case I'll have to... wait a bit?
gollark: Anyway, when I get home I'll see if I can program a bot to do this once every minute or something.
gollark: Though your share price does drop over time if you cycle this, it's quite slow and I think this would work still.
gollark: After 200 cycles of this you could get... 17292x returns?!
