An interesting custom has developed in Tržič, the essence of which is joy over the coming spring. On the eve of St. Gregor's Day, shoemaker's apprentices used to float handmade houses with lights down the river. With this, they celebrated the arrival of longer and warmer days. Today, the custom is maintained by the local tourist association, as the joy of spring and greenery after a long winter is still strongly present. According to the old custom, we can also show our joy by lowering the lights on boats along Tržiška Bistrica in the early evening hours.
