Discover Moškanjci

Moškanjci offers several concrete points of interest for a stay: an airfield north of the village, Ribnik Moškanjci, archaeological traces and a railway station. Whether you are interested in gliding, walks by the water, local history or travelling by train, these different themes can help you choose the right focus for your trip. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Moškanjci, you can plan around these interests.

Airfield and aviation activities

Moškanjci Airfield is located north of the village. Its grass runway is 1,100 metres long and 100 metres wide. The published measurements may change due to operational changes. Visitors can take a flight in a two-seat glider. The launch is either by winch or by aerotow. The launch method and two-seat format are specific features you can take into account when planning.

The airfield can also be used by hot-air balloons during the day. However, actual use depends on the weather and permission. This is a different connection to aviation from the gliding offer and should be considered accordingly.

Ribnik Moškanjci: walking and fishing

Ribnik Moškanjci is a managed pond where walkers can spend time by the water. A visit there can therefore combine a walk with a place to relax by the water. Facilities and access arrangements may change; check the current conditions before your visit.

During the fishing season, recreational fishing at Ribnik is possible on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays with a day fishing permit. Catch and release is the only permitted approach. Check the current permits and dates before travelling, and find out about the applicable rules before fishing. For planning purposes, it is important to note that fishing is tied to the season, specific days of the week or public holidays, and a day permit—it is therefore not an activity available at any time.

Archaeological traces, chapels and events

Remains of the Roman road Poetovio–Savaria are still visible in parts of Moškanjci. Archaeological finds from the area also include a Bronze Age sword and a stone hammer axe. These clues provide several points of reference for local history: the visible remains of an ancient road and finds from the Bronze Age. The chapels associated with the Moškanjci area are Matečkova Chapel, Vaška–Gečova Chapel and Vnukova Chapel.

Local events are another topic of interest. Every year on 1 May, the Moškanjci Sports Club holds a small-sided football tournament in memory of two deceased villagers. A bonfire with live music is held on the same day. Check the current date and programme before travelling. This is distinct from the event history of the volunteer fire service, which organised, among other things, the Lükarski or Kmečki festival during its history. This historical role is not information about a current event schedule.

Rail connection and travel planning

Moškanjci lies on the railway line that passes through the settlements of the municipality of Gorišnica and has a railway station. Rail services run west from Moškanjci towards Ptuj–Pragersko and onwards to Ljubljana or Maribor and Graz; eastbound services head towards Ormož. These directions provide a concrete starting point for planning your journey. Which connection works for your travel dates depends on the timetable; check current departures before travelling.

When choosing where to stay, you can weigh up the different interests: the airfield and gliding, fishing or a walk by Ribnik, archaeological traces and chapels, events or the rail connection. This lets you tailor your search for a hotel in Moškanjci to what you actually plan to do during your trip.
