  • We visited the HG mine & melting plant today, on August 28, 2022. Great place! It’s a must for tourists in Slovenia. Special words of thanks to Martha who was our guide in the HG melting plant. Very informative and memorable!
  • Very interesting place. I recommend to take some warm clothes because it's a bit cold underground. You get a helmet and a coat. Friendly guide, there're also audioguides available
