St. Anna Mine

The forest around Tito’s Village (Titova vas) is unspoilt and mighty. A secret partisan camp was set up below the peak of Smokuški vrh in a remote, hidden and relatively inaccessible location. The camp had its own newspaper, a choir, butchery and everything needed for everyday life during the Second World War. The path to Titova vas leads through a ravine with a small stream, over small bridges and wooden footbridges and through the forest that gives a feeling that a warrior will appear from behind the trees at any time. Today, Titova vas is well arranged and the recently renovated partisan camp takes you on a walk down history lane.

The Žirovnica Path of Cultural Heritage is a theme path that connects the cultural and historical monuments in the villages beneath Mt. Stol: Prešeren’s birth house in Vrba, Matija Čop’s birth house in Žirovnica, Anton Janša’s apiary in Breznica, and the birth houses of the authors Fran Saleški Finžgar in Doslovče and Janez Jalen in Rodine. The Žirovnica Path of Cultural Heritage is the oldest theme path in Slovenia and is of unique importance in the Slovenian cultural space whilst also inviting visitors to actively discover traditions.
