Attractions
Mayor Cave (Županova jama) is located on the northern edge of the settlement's territory. It was discovered by the local mayor, Josip Perme (1874–1940), in 1926. Perme was a member of the Yugoslav Radical Union and Slovene People's Party, both of which were banned by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia after the Second World War. It was opened as a show cave in 1927 and outfitted with electric lights after the Second World War.

The cave was originally known as Županova Permetova jama 'Mayor Perme Cave'. The name Taborska jama 'Tabor Cave' was introduced after the Second World War, in 1946. That name is still encountered today, and it is derived from Tabor Hill (493 m), which stands about 1 km north of the cave.
