Idrija–Cerkno–Škofja Loka

Our first stop will be in the Idrija City Museum, which houses the lace-making, mining, geological and historical collections. A short video about mining will introduce our descent to the actual mine, the oldest in Slovenia, which was opened to tourism in 1994. After a meal including a traditional dish (žlikrofi), we will continue to Cerkno for a visit to the Franja Partisan Hospital, built during WWII at a secret location. It ensured basic medical treatment for the resistance forces and is an authentic monument of its time. Before concluding the trip, we will stroll trough the Škofja Loka old town.

DID YOU KNOW ...
... that lace-making has a long tradition in Slovenia? The tradition of the Idrija lace is preserved through a special lace-making school, which was established in 1876. Each year, Idrija organises an international lace festival.
