IDRIJA.
Stories of past centuries.
After exploring the world-renowned mine and its technical heritage allow your delicate side to
take over – get to know the Idrija lace! After hiking outdoors pamper your tummy with the true
“idrijski žlikroi”, which will give you new strengths to experience the town, which might soon
be on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Where Lace Intertwine with Mercury.
From handicraft mastery
to fashion spectactle.
If you don’t know what a LACE-BOBBIN is, you will know after visiting
Idrija! You will never forget what skilful ingers can create from simple
threads! By their patterns and other features, IDRIJA LACES are very well
known special types of hand-made bobbin laces. In the past the women
and girls of Idrija used this skill to increase the humble family budget. As
early as the 19th century Idrija laces began to travel far over the Atlantic
ocean, while the LACE-MAKING SCHOOL was established in Idrija, which
is still active today. Every year Idrija pays homage to this tradition during
the IDRIJA LACE FESTIVAL. Next to traditional meetings, trainings,
presentations, and fun the festival is also a true fashion event for new lace
creations. Open your eyes to delicate wonders. Take them home with you
to keep forever!
Idrija lace
Mercury
Following the Trail of Mercury Heritage.
From ”rake” to shafts, from the castle to the legendary church.
For more than half a millennium, the mercury mine in Idrija was
important to the whole world! Even today, along with the mine many
points of interest still can stir our attention. You enter the city along
the “RAKE” water channel. Next to it there is the “KAMŠT”, a big
wooden water wheel, which was part of the mine’s pumping system.
Not far from there, along the “JOŽEFOV JAŠEK” shaft, you will see the
preserved old mining locomotives, and at the entrance to the “JAŠEK
FRANČIŠKA” shaft you can see the a collection of mining machinery
and equipment, such as “Kleyeva črpalka”, the biggest preserved steam
engine in Europe!
Go below the city into the “ANTONIJEV ROV” shaft, where you might
even meet the cave dwarf “Prekmandelc”! You will understand the
work and life of the locals in and above those shafts after visiting the
Idrija Municipal Museum in the GEWERKENEGG CASTLE, which
bear witness to the mining heritage, and exibits displays of geological
peculiarities and Idrija laces. he IDRIJA MINER’S HOUSE from the
18th century ofers an insight into the lives of the miners and their
families. You’re also welcome to visit the oldest Idrija church – THE
CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY, which stands on the site where,
according to the folk tradition, the irst drops of mercury were
discovered!
Gewerkenegg Castle
Idrija žlikroi
Culinary Surprises.
From miner’s modesty to
modern-day splendour.
If you have not tasted IDRIJA ŽLIKROFI, you have not experienced
in Idrija! “Žlikroi” is the irst Slovenian dish protected by the EU’s
Traditional Speciality Guaranteed label. Prepared from dough and
potato illing it goes well with the “bakalca” sauce made from mutton
and vegetables. With a bit of luck you will also enjoy “zeljševka” (roll
with herb illing), “ocvirkovca” (bread with cracklings), “smukavc”
(cabbage and potato hot top), “štruklji”, and other specialties. But if
you really want to taste the miner’s past, try the ancient local drink –
“pelinov geruš”, wormwood liqueur.
Savage lake
Klavže
Mysterious World of Wild Waters.
From savage lake to “klavže”.
Actively Outdoors.
From relaxation to excitation.
It feels real good to rest in the embrace of intact nature. But if visits and
new discoveries alone are not enough for you, then give your body a
chance to actively experience Idrija and its surroundings! All year long
you can choose between numerous HIKING and CYCLING ROUTES. In
winter indulge in SKIING, SLEDDING or CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING.
In summer enjoy FISHING, HUNTING or HORSEBACK RIDING.
Refresh your senses in the NATURAL BATHS in Bela. All year long,
but especially in summer, the city invites you to experience diferent
adventures: in addition to the Lace Festival, you can also visit the
“Castle Evenings” and other various ethnological, sports, and other
EVENTS.
he life of Idrija is inseparably connected with nature and waters. Visit
the ZGORNJA IDRIJCA REGIONAL PARK, where you will come across
many monuments of the past, enjoy botanical particularities and
murmuring streams and rivers. You will be blown away by high river dams
for timber loating – “KLAVŽE”, also called “the pyramids of Idrija”. he
mysteriousness of wild nature will tickle your skin at SAVAGE LAKE, the
biggest karst spring in Slovenia, in the depths of which hides the olm.

by numerous important European natural scientists and botanists. Idrija
