I like it a lot when a #cyclingtrip includes at least one "attraction". This weekend, it was the grave of Veronika Deseniška, the second wife of Count Friderik II of Celje, shrouded in mystery. Their love was not approved by his father Herman II, who accused Veronika of witchcraft and had her later drowned. This was the first documented witch trial in the land of today's Slovenia. Friedrik II later had her exhumed and reburied in the male Carthusian #monastery of #Jurklošter, where she is said to rest to this day, and after Frederik's death his heart was buried alongside.
