A monument to ironmaking heritage that brings the development of ironmaking and the town’s industrial history closer to visitors.

Museums and ethnological monuments

Discover how machines and other equipment for lead mining in the Peca mountain range operated, as well as the tools needed in the ironworks in Črna, Mežica and Ravne na Koroškem, and elsewhere. This exceptional industrial heritage bears witness to numerous technical and technological achievements that changed people’s lives and habits. The Prevalje ironworks became known throughout Europe with the invention of railway rails. High-quality and noble iron alloys from Ravne are still renowned worldwide today. Preserved facilities in Hudi Kot reveal how glass was once smelted. Large quantities of timber and available water resources contributed to the use of water-powered craft sawmills, which after the Second World War became part of the wood-processing industry.
