The village Mostec 

The village Mostec lies on the left bank of the river Sava, between Brezice and Dobova. It is accesible only through three bridges on land (that's how the village got it's name - "most" in Slovenian means bridge) or by "brod" (a type of boat) across the river Sava. Brod is also the last of this type of boats on the river Sava and it connects the lands Stajerska and Kranjska and also the village Mostec with the thermal resort Terme Catez across the river.

In the past, brod was used to transport animals, carriages and tractors to the fiels on the other side of the river, where villagers had their "rights": meadows and fields. A story tells that the villagers gained their rights by marching to Vienna (that's about 400 km on foot!) to their emperor. Today brod transports mainly the tourists from Terme Catez.

The tourists like to visit one of the restaurants in the village (that only has 60 houses). One of them is the Old restaurant Krulc. It is said that in it's best times Matija Gubec, the leader of the peasants' rebellion ate there.

The beautiful baroque church in the village is dedicated to the protectors against the plague: the saints st. Fabjan and st. Sebastjan. The church was built in 1767 by the few families left in the village that survived the plague.

Until the fortified bank was built, the river Sava flooded the village almost every year, usually in the fall. The floods lasted a day or two and at that time only a few houses in the village were "dry" and the villagers had to rescue their farm animals before they drowned. All the roads were also flooded, so the village was accesible only by boat. The children (to their luck) were not able to go to school, which is in Dobova.

The village Mostec supposedly lies above the thermal water spring, just like the neighbouring Terme Catez, but the thermal well with the water of 64 degrees Celsium is still closed and unused to this day.

The villagers of Mostec are called "Mosanjci" and sometimes also "postirkanci".
