Pi\u0161ece is situated on the southern sun-drenched foothills of the forested Orlica. The village centre is along the village road, below St. Michael’s Church, a Baroque building dating from the end of the 18th<\/sup> century.<\/p>

The village centre includes an old school and a blacksmith’s museum, and a younger, restored mill by the Gabernica stream.<\/p>

Pi\u0161ece Castle, built by the Archbishopric of Salzburg and first mentioned in written records in the early 14th<\/sup> century, stands on a hill 352 metres above sea level to the north-west of the village. Today, the castle has a neo-Romanesque appearance and is surrounded by a beautiful English park. The park is characterised by a pond and a 50-metre-tall sequoia, as well as many other non-native trees, such as plane, catalpa, ginkgo, and honey locust.<\/p>

In Pi\u0161ece, you can also visit the Pleter\u0161nik homestead, where the Slovenian linguist and author of the Slovenian-German Dictionary, Maks Pleter\u0161nik, was born in 1840 and died in 1923. There is a memorial collection arranged in his birthplace.<\/p>

Pi\u0161ece is also known for the only surviving indigenous Slovenian apricot variety, the \u201cPi\u0161ece apricot\u201d.<\/p>

You can also walk to Pi\u0161ece Castle along the footpath that leads from the centre of Pi\u0161ece, past the Pleter\u0161nik homestead, the lower pond, and through the park to the castle. The first water educational trail in Slovenia, 17km long, starts at the source of the Gabernica stream in Pi\u0161ece and runs all the way to the mouth of the stream at the Sava River.<\/p>
