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?
