The guided tour of the permanent exhibition “Climb to the Mountain” takes visitors through the interesting history of mountaineering and the alpine specialties of the Slovenes. Through various stories told by museum guides, visitors step into the world of valuable museum objects and personal life stories. These are complemented by numerous entertaining animations that also encourage safe mountain visits.

With Planinko along the museum linking path

This is a series of fun games in the permanent exhibition “Climb to the Mountain,” which are connected into a museum linking path. Like all mountain paths, it is marked with a trail marker on the ground. It consists of seven computer animations through which the animated cartoon character Planinko guides the visitor. The museum mountaineer can choose, based on their knowledge of mountaineering content, whether to take an easy, medium, or difficult route to the summit of their chosen mountain. Along the way, they must collect five stamps at designated stations, imprint them in their mountaineering book, and carefully listen to and read the guide’s instructions. At the mountain summit, a surprise awaits, which they can choose: a magnet, a view from the top, a cheer, or a free card for another visit to the museum linking path.

The content and activities on the path are tailored to age groups.

Let yourself be immersed in the story of Janez Klinar, affectionately known as Požganec, a housekeeper and innkeeper from Mojstrana, a mountain guide, and assistant to our parish priest Jakob Aljaž!

A guided tour of the permanent exhibition with the mountain guide Janez Klinar Požganec, Jakob Aljaž’s main assistant. Through the stories of individual museum items, he introduces us to the work of Jakob Aljaž around Triglav, his significance in the development of mountain tourism, and his role in preserving the Slovenian character of our mountains. From his storytelling, we sense the strength, wisdom, and patriotism of the simple Slovenian man who made a living as a mountain guide for a better everyday life.

To make the journey easier, he shares a proper mountain snack with us and accompanies us through the permanent exhibition with encouraging words.

Visitors can also take photographs with Požganec, and as a souvenir, they can take home a replica of the badge of the officially recognized guide of the Slovenian Mountaineering Society.

Upon request, it is also possible to watch the introductory film *Svetlobe gora* (20 minutes).

Presentation of the equipment and work of the mountain rescue service through the storytelling of experienced mountain rescuers.

Visitors get to know the rescue equipment, feel its weight, and try out its use. By visiting the GRS section of the permanent exhibition, they can compare the advantages of the current role of mountain rescuers with the past. They meet the museum’s helicopter face to face, which they assemble from wooden pieces in a workshop and paint in the colours of the first Slovenian rescue and police helicopter. They also learn the basics of safe mountain walking.

Part of the funds from this program goes to the GRS Mojstrana for the operation of the Okrešelj Fund.

Around the grey-eyed Triglav, many shepherd stories and legends weave, mysteriously guarded by silent, stoic rocks, dark forests beneath them, and sunlit alpine meadows that quietly keep these tales within their embrace.

Roaming through the lands, you will meet with the peculiar villagers of Dovje and Mojstrana, locals and mythical creatures, who will unveil the fairy-tale veil of old customs, habits, sayings, and superstitions. Along the way, you may discover a pot of coins or rescue a cursed girl. The treasure, however, will surely be found in the museum, where you will get to know mountaineering in an active and fun way.

Little and big nature explorers will uncover the hidden treasures of the beautiful nature concealed in the magical Vrat Valley.

A guided hike through the Triglav National Park from the museum to the Peričnik Waterfall. A hike from Peričnik to Vrat is also possible. Hikers will learn about the natural features of the TNP and the Vrat Valley. The program also includes a guided tour of the museum with a creative workshop of your choice.

The content and activities along the trail are adapted to age groups.
