At that time, such a “tourist” [...]

The way is a story – the story is a path. The Slovenian Alpine Museum is not an ordinary museum, as it offers an experience of the exhibition like a personal ascent to a mountain. Adventure-seekers can test themselves in the Escape to the Bivouac. You can also see and hear what the legendary “Dvojka” looked like from the inside and how mountaineers experienced it – even without the adventure. You’ll be enchanted by the virtual view from its original location below Rokavi and from thirty other Slovenian peaks. Haven’t been to Triglav yet? We offer you a virtual walk to our highest mountain.
