Jasna Potočnik Topler ; Faculty of Tourism, University of Maribor, Brežice, Slovenia

Abstract

This article, which is based on interdisciplinary approach, examines the role of the Slovenian author Lovro Kuhar – Prežihov Voranc (1893 – 1950) in the development of literary tourism in Carinthia (Koroška) and the presentation of the writer at the writer's ethnographic memorial museum called The Prežihov Voranc Cottage (“Prežihova bajta” in Slovenian). This cottage is located in Preški Vrh above the Carinthian village called Kotlje, near Ravne na Koroškem, Slovenia. The article analyses how many tourists visit Prežih’s cottage per year and aims to show that there is potential for further development of literary tourism in Carinthia by developing tourism products based on the personality of Prežihov Voranc.
