Top Attractions in Jesenice

Kos Manor

The Kos Manor is a 16th-century manor house located in the Murova neighborhood of the town of Jesenice, Slovenia, at the street address of Cesta maršala Tita 64. It is one of four so-called "ironworks castles" built in the area during the 16th and early 17th centuries by owners of local iron-mining and processing facilities, in what were then the clustered settlements of Plavž, Sava, Murova and Javornik, amalgamated into the town of Jesenice in 1929. The Bucelleni-Ruard Manor in Sava is another survivor of the original four; the Plavž and Javornik manors have been torn down. The Kos manor was built in 1521 by Sigismund of Dietrichstein, a leaseholder of the Bucelleni family, owners of the Sava ironworks. It is located in what was then the heart of the Murova settlement, at the foot of the path leading to the Church of St. Leonard atop a small hill a few hundred metres away. The manor is mentioned in period documents as the "old belopeš castle," in reference to the ancestral home of its builders the Bucelleni family, the village of Bela Peč, between Rateče and Tarvisio in present-day Italy. It was also described in Valvasors 1689 survey The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola. The manor obtained its current name in 1821, when its then-owner, the local merchant Frančišek Pavel Kos, enlarged and renovated it in neoclassical style. At some point thereafter it was acquired by the Ruard family, from whom it passed into the hands of the KID company in 1872, by then the sole operator of the local ironworks. Ten years later it was purchased by the Jesenice municipal government, initially for use as a public school, in which capacity it served from 1883-1915. In the interwar period the manor, by then commonly known as the "old school" was converted first into apartments and city offices and later into a courthouse and prison; it saw use as the latter during World War II as well, when the occupying Wehrmacht used the building as a transfer prison. Currently the manor is administered by the Upper Sava Museum, Jesenice, and serves various cultural and public functions: Ground floor: art gallery, permanent exhibit "Occupation Terror of the Years 1941-1945" First floor: permanent exhibit "The Workers Movement and the National Liberation Struggle," on the 19th and 20th century workers movement and its connection to local partisan resistance against the German occupation Second floor: multipurpose hall for municipal functions and cultural events, wedding hall

Jesenice Mosque

The Jesenice Mosque is a Sunni mosque located in the town of Jesenice, Slovenia, on Viktor Kejžar street, no 19. It is the center of the Jesenice jamaat. Many Muslims were among the wave of migrants from other Yugoslav republics attracted to Jesenice by steel-industry jobs in the 1960s and 70s. In the 2002 census, 18% of the population of Jesenice were listed as Muslim, the highest percentage of any single municipality in Slovenia. The first Islamic observances in Jesenice took place in July 1969, when Mawlid was celebrated in a temporary hall in the train station. The current mosque was bought in 1988, and its first governing community board established in October 1989. The building was renovated to its present appearance in 1992, when an 80 cm minaret was also added. The Jesenice jamaat serves the area of Jesenice, Bled, Radovljica, Žirovnica, Kranjska Gora, Bohinjska Bistrica and Lesce with a total Muslim population of over 5,000, mostly hailing from Western Bosnia, the Republic of Macedonia and Kosovo. A library, a classroom, an ablution fountain and the Imam's offices and quarters are also part of the complex.

Jesenice Upper Sava Museum

The Jesenice Upper Sava Museum is a regional museum based in the town of Jesenice and the neighboring Municipality of Kranjska Gora, both in northwestern Slovenia. The museum's name refers to the general area it documents, the upper Sava Dolinka Valley. Its holdings include two restored historic farmhouses, the archives of the KID company, and display spaces in the two surviving "ironworks castles" , manors built in the area during the 16th and early 17th centuries by the owners of local iron-mining and iron-processing works. The museum was established in its present form in 1992, although several of its constituent facilities operated independently beforehand. Located in Jesenice; Bucellini–Ruard Manor (45 France Prešeren Street): museum headquarters, history of the regional ironworks, paleontological collection Kos Manor (64 Marshal Tito Street): art gallery, museum of local history Workers' Barracks (48 France Prešeren Street): ethnographic collection, reconstructed early-20th century workers' residential block Located in Mojstrana: Slovenian Alpine Museum (49 Triglav Street): collection on the history of Slovene mountaineering, 18th century–World War II, information station of Triglav National Park Located in Kranjska Gora: Liznjek Farm (64 Borovec Street): authentic Slovene alpine farmhouse, renovated into an ethnographic museum in 1983. The basement contains an exhibit on the local writer Josip Vandot and a gallery. Located in Rateče: Kajžnk House (43 Rateče): renovated building preserving regional folk architecture. Exhibits on local history, handicrafts, and folk costume

Pristava House

The Pristava House is a manor house in the foothills of the Karawanks Alpine range in the Municipality of Jesenice in northern Slovenia. It is located at an elevation of 975 metres, above the settlement of Javorniški Rovt. It is a popular excursion point. The house was built in 1641 or 1647 as a mountain chalet for the local ironworks-owning lower nobility and has recently been renovated. At the beginning of the 18th century the building belonged to Karl von Zois, a nobleman and Enlightenment botanist who established the second botanical park in Carniola at the site. The park still exists and features a variety of local and exotic trees. The Pristava House features an inn, a restaurant, and an open-air dance-floor. The surrounding meadows are popular with picnickers, and are well known for their profusion of wild daffodils in the late springtime. Nearby Javornik Falls, a series of three waterfalls in the upper course of Javornik Creek, is a popular hiking destination. The house is accessible by road from the village of Koroška Bela or on foot via the Gajšek Trail.

Ruard Manor

The Bucelleni-Ruard Manor, commonly referred to as the Ruard manor, is a 16th-century manor house located in the Sava district of the town of Jesenice, Slovenia, at the street address of 45 Prešernova. It is one of four so-called "ironworks castles" built in the area during the 16th and early 17th centuries by the owners of iron-mining and processing facilities, in what were then the clustered settlements of Plavž, Sava, Murova and Javornik, amalgamated into the town of Jesenice in 1929. The Kos Manor in Murova also survives; the Plavž and Javornik manors were demolished. The Ruard Manor was built in 1538 by the Italian businessman Bernardo Bucelleni, who had recently relocated to Sava from Bergamo and whose family would come to dominate the iron mining and processing industry of the entire upper Sava valley. Unlike the Kos manor, Bucelenni chose to locate this residence close to the ironworks themselves. The Bucellenis were very successful for a time, and were ennobled during the 17th century, taking the name "von Reichenberg" after the German name of their ore mines at Savske Jame. In 1686 the family was elevated to counthoood. The manor gained the second half of its current name in 1766, when Valentin Ruard, a Belgian entrepreneur, bought the entire estate and restored the failing ironworks surrounding it. Leopold Ruard, his son, was mayor of Jesenice under the brief period of French rule. In 1831, the manor was expanded and reconstructed in the Neoclassical style. In the next generation, it passed out of Ruard hands, as Viktor Ruard was unable to obtain capital for the modernization of the family ironworks, and was forced to sell both them and the manor to the KID company in 1871, which converted it into clerks housing . Since 1954, the manor has served as a museum, and later became the seat of the Upper Sava Museum. It hosts several permanent exhibits: Historical museum of the iron and steel industry in the Jesenice region, featuring tools, artifacts and motorized maquettes of industrial facilities Paleontological collection of the Palaeozoic flora and fauna of the western Karavanks Mineral collection

Španov vrh

Španov vrh, at 1,361 metres is a peak in the Western Karavanke Alps above the village of Planina pod Golico. Like Golica, it is a popular destination for tourists during the flowering of wild white narcissi, swathes of which cover its pastures in late April and early May. It is visited throughout the year as an easy peak to reach with panoramic views of the Julian Alps and Golica and the surrounding peaks in the Karavanke. The Španov vrh ski slope is popular in the winter with the starting point of the single-seat chairlift at 981 metres in Planina pod Golico, a mid station at Črni vrh at 1,184 metres and an end station right at the peak of Španov vrh. The ski route winds down the slopes of Španov vrh. The ski area is suitable for recreational and more demanding skiers. Since 1967 a carnival ski event called Svinjska glava is organized every year before lent. The chairlift only runs during the winter period when there is enough snow for skiing. There is a convenient parking area and some overnight accommodation available in Planina pod Golico.
