In her photographic exhibition, Petra Draškovič Pelc opens a view into the Kočevje region as a space of silence, inner stillness, and a primal connection with nature. Her photographs are not merely documents of landscape, but subtle records of experience – moments in which light and shadow, presence and the unseen intertwine. As a long-time [...]
In February 2026, we will host a photographic exhibition by Urban Meglič titled Traces of Silence.

“Farewell to the Glacier” The Pasterze Glacier beneath Grossglockner, like glaciers around the world, is sharing the same fate – it is disappearing rapidly. I first visited it in 2012.

In the autumn of 1975, the first Yugoslav trekking expedition set out for Nepal, consisting of 29 mountaineers from various parts of the country. Among the participants were several former alpinists, which gave the expedition a special character – the team was not merely tourist-oriented but also highly mountaineering-skilled.

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.
