The pilgrimage complex on Planina (842 m) above Črna pri Kamniku consists of the late Gothic churches of St Primus and Felician and of St Peter, a free-standing bell tower, a Renaissance octagonal Marian chapel, a parsonage and a farm building. It is listed as a registered immobile cultural heritage site of Slovenia.
The pilgrimage centre is still a popular excursion destination, reached on a marked mountain trail from Stahovica past the hamlet of Praprotno in about an hour and a half. The same marked path continues from Sveti Primož onward to Velika Planina, another hour and a half on foot. The complex of two late-Gothic churches, a free-standing bell tower and a Renaissance octagonal Marian chapel is listed as a registered immobile cultural heritage of Slovenia.
The site stands on the Planina at 842 m above the village of Črna pri Kamniku. A marked mountain trail leads up from Stahovica past the hamlet of Praprotno in about 1 hour 30 minutes. From Sveti Primož the same marked path continues to Velika Planina in another 1 hour 30 minutes.
The pilgrimage complex comprises five separate structures: the late-Gothic churches of St Primus and Felician and of St Peter, a free-standing bell tower, a Renaissance octagonal Marian chapel, and the sexton's house with its farm building. The chapel's eight-sided plan is the element visitors most often walk past without noticing.
