Motnik

Motnik (pronounced [mɔˈtniːk]; German: Möttnig[2]) is a village in the Tuhinj Valley in the Municipality of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The parish church in Motnik is dedicated to Saint George and is a Baroque building with 19th-century furnishings.

Close by is a smaller church, the chapel of Mary Magdalene.

Close to the settlement is also an abandoned brown coal mine in which the fossilized remains of a pygmy rhinoceros were discovered in 1910.

They were found to be 25 million years old and are now displayed in a small museum in the village.
