Selected alternatives for you
    Traces of the hard work and lives of miners, ironworkers, and other people closely connected to what was once the richest iron ore deposit in this area can still be seen and felt today. The Old Ore Route is the path along which iron ore was once transported from the Savske Jame, a former iron ore deposit, to the blast furnaces at Stara Sava. A walk along the Old Ore Route takes us back in time and presents fragments of the daily lives of the people who mined and carried iron ore in this area.

    The walk along the route begins at the Stara Sava museum area in Jesenice. Elements of the former ironworking settlement are still present there today: the mansion housing a museum with ironworking and mining collections, a church, a workers' residential house, a blast furnace with auxiliary facilities, rake and koplern – a charcoal warehouse. The route passes through Jesenice, past the old part of the settlement Murova with the Kosovo Mansion, along a forest path to the Pejce hamlet, then through the villages of Prihodi and Planina pod Golico to Savske Jame. Along the way, you will see chapels and shrines, replicas of mining tools, "glajžnje" – traces of track rides in the path, an entrance to the mine.
