In 2025, the Rural Transport Museum was founded in a newly renovated medieval tollhouse in Senožeče. The museum’s theme is closely tied to its location, as the tollhouse once stood along a major historic trade route between Central-Western Europe and the Adriatic Sea. Through interactive content, digital narratives, personal testimonies, and other educational tools, the museum offers an insight into the development of transport and freight through the centuries, the lives of rural traders, horse-cart drivers, smugglers, and craftsmen, and the history of historic tollhouses. In addition to visiting the museum, visitors can also explore the Djestence Forest Educational Trail and discover the mausoleums of the prominent Garzarolli and Dejak families near the parish church.
Renovation
The renovation of the Senožeče medieval tollhouse and the adjacent Kotlar House lasted two years and was completed in 2025. During the works, wall paintings with figural and plant motifs – such as scenes of the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden and Noah’s Ark – were discovered and professionally restored.
