Thanks to having the second largest mercury mine in the world the town of Idrija was for centuries considered to be the centre of scientific and technological progress in the region. The administration of the Idrija Mercury Mine was housed in the Gewerkenegg Castle (16th century) which dominates the town. Today it houses the Idrija Municipal Museum, which together with the Idrija Mine Museum takes care of the region's rich technical, geological, technological, ethnological, and cultural heritage. The Idrija Mine Museum is managed by THE Idrija Mercury Heritage Management Centre.
In 2012 the Heritage of Mercury. Almadén and Idrija project was submitted to UNESCO and both cities entered its World Heritage List.
Mercury mining in Idrija
The history of mining in Idrija dates back to 1490. Only the Almadén mercury mine in Spain was bigger and dates back to the Roman times. Both towns were so famous that their names were used in North America for the mining towns of New Idria and New Almadén. Until World War I the Idrija Mercury Mine was one of the best technically equipped mines in Europe. By burning cinnabar ore, the mercury miners of Idrija mined over 13 per cent of the world production of this ore. In 500 years Idrija exported 107,700 tons of this liquid metal.
In 1986 the decision was made to close the mine for commercial, geological, and ecological reasons. It finally closed in 1995 but some of its shafts and facilities have remained open for tourists. Today the company's main task is to close down the mine and to manage the consequences of 500 year mining, that is to secure the shafts and to monitor the pollution of the environment.
UNESCO World Heritage List
The mercury mining heritage in Idrija (together with the oldest theatre house in Slovenia, the warehouse, the city hall, the old town square, the science secondary school, the Gewerkenegg Castle, etc.) was successfully nominated to become a UNESCO world heritage protected site in 2012.
The first project for the candidature was prepared in 2007 under the title Idrija on the Mercury Route of the Intercontinental Camino Real together with Almadén (Spain) and San Luis Potosí (Mexico). The development of the Mercury Route as part of the Intercontinental Camino Real was greatly influenced by the 1554 discovery of amalgamation in America. The process used mercury in acquiring silver and gold from ore and sparked a major increase in the demand for mercury (Idrija, Almadén). The metal was foremost exported to Mexico where it was used in silver mines. This discovery influenced the global development of manufacture, technology, and trade in mercury as well as facilitated an intensive transfer of technological knowledge and changes in the global economy, social relations, science, and culture.
Museum sites
The Idrija mine ore deposit is unique on the world. Quoting a Soviet geologist Vladimir Ivanovich Smirnov (1910–1988): I have seen many ore deposits in different parts of the world and some of them quite complex. But I openly admit that such a complex geological structure as in Idrija, I haven't yet seen. Without any doubt this is structurally one of the most complex endogenous ore deposits in the world. The Mine Museum has a rich geological collection with more than 800 different samples of ore and mineral from Idrija mercury ore deposit on display at the Idrija Municipal Museum.
Anthony's Shaft is the oldest part of the mine, today also one of the oldest preserved mine entrances in Europe. Named after Anthony of Padua, a patron saint of miners and protector from mine accidents, the shaft was dug back in 1500, soon after mercury was first discovered. The museum tour is 1,300 metres long in an authentically preserved mine. It starts in the 18th-century Šelštev House where miners used to take the equipment early in the morning before entering the mine. Here visitors to the mine watch a multivision show in the former call-in room, than professional guides take them through shafts and illuminated galleries with life-size mannequins which illustrate the various mining jobs to the unique underground Chapel of the Holy Trinity, dating from the mid-18th century, the time of the greatest prosperity for the Idrija mine. The shaft was opened for the public in 1994. At the entrance, visitors are given raincoats to wear during the tour and are greeted with the typical miner's greeting srečno (good luck), which gets its true meaning when entering the shaft.
Francis's Shaft was sinked 1792 and is named after the Roman-German Emperor Franz Joseph the Second (1792–1806). It is a big transport shaft with the only preserved huge exporting machine Siemens-Stuckert, still in operating condition.
Partisan Printery Slovenia in Idrija

This printing press is part of the Slovenia Printing Shop, which was the largest and best equipped Partisan printing shop in the western part of Slovenia. It operated from September 1944 to May 1945. The print shop produced newspapers, brochures, leaflets, booklets and other such printed material, and special mention should be made of the Partisan Daily - the only daily newspaper in occupied Europe printed by a resistance movement. The printing shop which is today under the auspices of the Idrija Municipal Museum has been fully preserved and the print machinery is still operational. As part of our cultural and historical heritage it has been open to the public since 1947.
The printing press was manufactured by Turin-based company Rapida di Lusso, Italy, in the 1930’s. It is in very good condition and can still be operated for printing demonstrations. Its capacity is between 800 to 1,000 copies per hour.
The story about the 'arrival' of this printing press during wartime, after a journey from Italy to Vojsko, which is a hilly and remote place in Slovenia at 800m above sea level, is quite amazing. The German armed forces controlled and checked all transport, and so the press was disassembled and its parts hidden among condensed milk packaging. The Germans pulled over the truck carrying all this in Padua, but air raid sirens sounding at that moment prevented them from undertaking a thorough inspection of the cargo. Amidst the general confusion of the air raid the truck was able to proceed, transporting the printing press safely to Gorizia from where it was carried, part by part, over 50km to the distant printing shop in Vojsko.

Idrija (CC: slovenski, srpski, English)
Idrija je mesto v Republiki Sloveniji, sedež istoimenske občine, in upravno središče. Leži v severozahodnem delu Slovenije, na stičišču predalpskega in dinarskega sveta.
Okolica Idrije je bila zaradi razgibanega površja, slabih naravnih možnosti in odročne lege zelo redko poseljena pokrajina. Za širšo okolico Idrije se časa naseljevanja ne more natančno datirati, je pa vendarle jasno, da se je močnejše priseljevanje na to območje začelo šele z odkritjem živega srebra v idrijski kotlini. Konec 15. stoletja, vsaj tako namreč pravi legenda, je škafar na območju današnje Idrije odkril živo srebro. To pa je imelo velik gospodarski, razvojni in poselitveni pomen. Rudnik v Idriji se je hitro širil in pridobival na pomenu, hkrati z njim je rasla tudi Idrija.
Ob izrazito moškem delu v rudniku so ženske doma razvijale svoje ročne spretnosti in kulinariko. Danes so poleg rudnika svetovno znane tudi idrijske čipke in idrijski žlikrofi, ki so tudi evropsko zaščiteni.
Geopark Idrija, ki zaradi izjemne naravne dediščine sodi med najzanimivejše parke v Evropi, obsega celotno območje občine Idrija.
Idrija se ponaša z nazivoma Alpsko mesto leta 2011 in Evropska destinacija odličnosti za leto 2011(EDEN). Poznana je po drugem največjem rudniku živega srebra na svetu, takoj za španskim Almadenom. Bogata dediščina obeh rudnikov je od 30. junija 2012 umeščena na UNESCOV seznam svetovne dediščine. (Wikipedia)

KAMNIŠKI VOJNI MUZEJ ODPRL SPOMINE NA VEČ VOJN, KAMNIK, 10 4 2016
Partizanska bolnica Franja, obnova 2007-2010 / Franja Partisan Hospital, renovation 2007-2010
Partizanska bolnica Franja je spomenik iz časa 2. svetovne vojne. Bolnišnični kompleks vključuje 14 lesenih barak in 7 pomožnih objektov. Avtentična materialna dediščina spomenika je bila skoraj v celoti uničena v povodnji septembra 2007. Zaradi velike simbolne vrednosti tega prostora je bila kmalu po dogodku sprejeta odločitev o popolni rekonstrukciji spomenika. Obnovo so omogočila finančna sredstva Republike Slovenije ter prispevki organizacij in posameznikov, ki so pomagali tudi z materialom, nadomestnimi muzejskimi predmeti in prostovoljnim delom.
Skrite bolnišnice so bile posebnost slovenskega odporniškega gibanja. Zaradi varnosti so jih gradili v gozdovih, težko dostopnih grapah in podzemnih jamah. V letih 1942–1945 jih je delovalo okoli 120, v njih je našlo zatočišče več kot 15.000 ranjencev. Bolnico Franja so zgradili za potrebe ranjencev na območju severne Primorske in Gorenjske. Prostor zanjo so po nasvetu bližnjega kmeta Janeza Peternelja izbrali v soteski Pasice v Dolenjih Novakih. Pod vodstvom zdravnika Viktorja Volčjaka so tu decembra 1943 zgradili prvo barako. Njegovo delo je nadaljevala zdravnica Franja Bojc Bidovec. Bolnišnico so že med vojno poimenovali po njej. Od decembra 1943 do maja 1945 se je tu zdravilo okoli 600 ranjencev različnih narodnosti.
The Franja Partisan Hospital is a monument dating from the period of the Second World War. The hospital complex comprises 14 wooden cabins and 7 auxiliary facilities. The authentic tangible heritage of this monument was destroyed almost in its entirety in the flood of September 2007. Owing to the great symbolic value of this area, a decision on the complete reconstruction of the monument was adopted soon after the disaster. Its reconstruction was made possible with the financial support of the Republic of Slovenia and the contributions of organisations and individuals, who also donated materials and substitute museum specimens, and worked as volunteers.
Clandestine hospitals were a particularity of the Slovenian resistance movement. To ensure their safety, they were constructed in forests, barely accessible gorges, and underground caves. Around 120 such hospitals operated in the period from 1942–1945, providing shelter to more than 15,000 wounded soldiers. The Franja Hospital was built for the needs of wounded persons in the regions of northern Primorska and Gorenjska. Following the advice of a neighbouring farmer, Janez Peternelj, its location was selected in the Pasice Gorge in the village of Dolenji Novak. Under the guidance of Dr. Viktor Volčjak, the first cabin was constructed here in December 1943. His work was continued by another physician, Dr. Franja Bojc Bidovec, after whom the hospital was named already during the war. From December 1943 until May 1945, some 600 wounded persons of varying nationalities were treated here.

From Wikipedia
Predjama Castle (Slovene: Predjamski grad or grad Predjama, German: Höhlenburg Lueg, Italian: Castel Lueghi) is a Renaissance castle built within a cave mouth in south-central Slovenia, in the historical region of Inner Carniola. It is located in the village of Predjama, approximately 11 kilometres from the town of Postojna and 9 kilometres from Postojna Cave.[1]
The castle was first mentioned in 1274 with the German name Luegg, when the Patriarch of Aquileia built the castle in Gothic style. The castle was built under a natural rocky arch high in the stone wall to make access to it difficult. It was later acquired and expanded by the Luegg noble family, also known as the Knights of Adelsberg (the German name of Postojna).
The castle became known as the seat of the knight Erasmus of Lueg (or Luegg, Luegger), lord of the castle in the 15th century and a renowned robber baron. He was the son of the imperial governor of Trieste, Nikolaj Lueger.
According to legend, Erasmus came into conflict with the Habsburgs when he killed the commander of the imperial army, Marshall Pappenheim, who had offended the honour of Erasmus's deceased friend, Andrej Baumkircher of Vipava. Fleeing the vengeance of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III, Erasmus reached the family fortress of Predjama. From there, he allied himself with King Matthias Corvinus and began to attack Habsburg estates and towns in Carniola. The emperor commissioned the governor of Trieste, Andrej Ravbar, with the capture or killing of Erasmus. Erasmus was killed after a long siege. According to a popular but unfounded legend, Erasmus was betrayed by one of his men and was killed by a shot from a cannon in his lavatory.[2][3]
After the siege and destruction of the original castle, its ruins were acquired by the Oberburg family. In 1511, the second castle, built by the Purgstall family in the first decade of the 16th century, was destroyed in an earthquake. In the year 1567, Archduke Charles of Austria leased the castle to baron Philipp von Cobenzl, who paid it off after 20 years. In 1570, the current castle was built in the Renaissance style, pressed next to a vertical cliff under the original Medieval fortification. The castle has remained in this form, virtually unchanged, to the present day.
In the 18th century, it became one of the favourite summer residences of the Cobenzl family. Both the Austrian statesman and famous art collector Philipp von Cobenzl and the diplomat Count Ludwig von Cobenzl spent time in the castle.
In 1810, the castle was inherited by Count Michael Coronini von Cronberg, and in 1846 it was sold to the Windischgrätz family, who remained its owners until the end of World War II, when it was nationalized by the Yugoslav Communist authorities and turned into a museum.
A vertical natural shaft, which Erasmus ordered to be enlarged, leads out of the original castle, and leads to the exit located at the top of the cliff, 25 meters away from the cliff's edge. This shaft allowed Erasmus to secretly supply the castle with food in the time of the siege; he also used it to continue with his robberies.
Predjama Castle was used as the castle featured in the 1986 movie Armour of God by Golden Harvest starring Jackie Chan, Alan Tam, Rosamund Kwan and Lola Forner. It was also investigated for paranormal activity in a 2008 episode of Ghost Hunters International on the Sci Fi Channel. It was also the filming location of Laibach's Sympathy For The Devil cover's music video.
The multiplayer map Castle from the 2014 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DLC, Operation Breakout, is based on Predjama Castle.
