Mengeš
Mengeš, today a nicely developed town, is one of the oldest settlements in Slovenia. The mediaeval Mengeš was first mentioned in written sources in 1154 because of the castle where the Mengeš knight had his seat. The settlement was divided into Mali Mengeš or Farovška vas (the church owned most of the land there in the 14th century, thus the name farovška - parson's) and Veliki Mengeš or Gorenji Mengeš.
In the period of J. V. Valvasor, craftsmanship developed in the town, primarily pottery, stove making and straw weaving. Interestingly, there were 83 workshops and as many as 25 inns in Mengeš in the mid-19th century.
Mengeška godba - one of the oldest brass bands in Slovenia - has been active in Mengeš since 1884.

The main part of the Culture Centre is the hall, which has been hosting performances of Špas teater theatre in the past decade. Špas teater shows attract visitors from all over Slovenia.
Stare Castle
Nowadays, the large complex barely resembles a castle, rather a neglected outbuilding, because the present owner is in a dispute with the municipality and uses the complex to dump waste material there. He also breeds goats which freely roam around the complex.

It was built in the memory of one of the first partisan companies in 1941 during World War II. It is open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
Dobeno
Due to its elongated size, Dobeno is divided into Zgornje Dobeno, Srednje Dobeno and Spodnje Dobeno. The hilly village is a popular hiking point on the gentle ledges of the eastern slope of Rašica. The country characteristics of the village faded away as holiday cottages and residential houses prevail, only here and there a farm appears.

Jablje Castle
Historical records tell us that the castle situated at the foot of Rašica was first mentioned in the 14th century and was built by the Lamberg family. It has had many different owners since then. The extensive interior equipment, including paintings, tapestries and wall paintings was 'lost' after World War II, because the castle was used for various purposes and activities.
