Dolnja Počehova: Holiday Apartment, Viaduct and Wine

Dolnja Počehova combines a railway viaduct, small sacred monuments, wine and sporting opportunities. The local landscape includes the viaduct, the statue of St John of Nepomuk, the Lopičeva Chapel and the House of Wines Doppler. The individual details vary in specificity: for the viaduct, the construction history and dimensions are the focus; for the sacred sites, the location and design; and for wine and sport, the named offerings in each case.

Culture

On a hill in Dolnja Počehova, the statue of St John of Nepomuk stands at a viewpoint overlooking the Pesnica Valley. Its square pedestal has a shallow, semicircular niche. The Lopičeva Chapel is also part of the sacred rural heritage in Dolnja Počehova. The viewpoint and the design of the pedestal describe the statue through its specific location and form; the chapel is mentioned as a separate component of the sacred rural heritage.

History

The Dolnja Počehova railway viaduct was built as part of the Southern Railway section between Graz and Maribor (Celje). Construction began in spring 1844 under the direction of Carl von Ghega; the work lasted more than two years. The structure was 21 metres high and 649 metres long. This made it the longest bridging structure on the entire Southern Railway route between Vienna and Trieste. Thus, the viaduct is described in terms of the route section as well as the start of construction, the duration, the height, the length and its classification within the Southern Railway route.

Wine

Another specific address is the House of Wines Doppler at Dolnja Počehova 74, 2221 Pesnica pri Mariboru. Groups are welcomed there for tastings. In addition, the House of Wines Doppler offers guided tours of its wine cellars. The address is given with the house number and postcode.
