The experience “Aljaž through the eyes of Požganec” at the Slovenian Alpine Museum in Mojstrana reveals the story of Jakob Aljaž, the iconic Slovenian mountaineer and parish priest who left an indelible mark on the Alpine world.
Through the story of Požganec, Aljaž’s loyal colleague, visitors learn about the socio-political situation at the end of the 19th century and life in Mojstrana and its surrounding mountains. The museum brings to life the stories of the erection of Aljaž’s tower and the importance of preserving the natural and cultural heritage. In this unique experience, the past comes alive through objects, exhibitions and extraordinary stories that connect visitors to the spirit of the times. The experience is rounded off with a typical mountain brunch, which brings visitors closer to the simple but sincere traditions of the time.
