The Idrija mine
Situated in the west of Slovenia, the town of Idrija boasts a mining tradition of over 500 years. The town’s mercury mine was second only to that of Almadén in Spain in terms of size and importance. In the 19th century, it was one of the best equipped mines in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its preserved technical heritage is greatly valued both in Slovenia and in the rest of Europe. Together with Almadén and the Mexican mercury mine in San Luis Potosi, the Idrija mine is contending for a place on Unesco’s world cultural heritage list.
Idrija ¾likrofi – a culinary delicacy
From the mid 19th century, the town of Idrija and its surroundings have been famous for Idrija ¾likrofi. The exact origin of this dish is not known, but is believed that ¾likrofi were brought to Idrija by a family of miners. This January they were protected within the European Union as “traditional speciality guaranteed”.
Illustrator Lila Prap

The Avsenik band
Slavko Avsenik is Slovenia’s biggest music legend. His tunes have left an indelible mark on Slovenian popular folk music and carried it to all corners of the world. At the start of the 1990s, the Avsenik band rounded off their career, but Slavko, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday, is now looking forward to the first musical achievements of his grandson. They performed together for this edition of Slovenian Magazine.
