Environmental effects of mining and it’s restoration
Coal mining enabled the town of Trbovlje to develop and grow to up to 20.000 inhabitants at its peak. The environment in the valley of Trbovlje took a big hit because of such progress. One of the most important tasks during the closure of the mine is therefore restoration and repurposing of the surface.
On a tour from the town centre to the western slope of the valley we discover still visible “wounds” left by coal mining on the environment. At the same time, we present opportunities that present themselves as a part of restoration: filling up the excavation areas, reforestation of barren surface, repurposing ex excavation landscape to recreation area.
PROGRAM INCLUDES:
- visit of Virtual mining museum 4. Dritl
- visit of mining apartments at Njiva colony
- visit of Park of culture
- guided tour of ex mining areas (Coal mine head quatters, Žabjek colony, Gvido tower, Lakonca, Retje)
ADDITIONAL OFFER:
- organised bus or shuttle ride to the mining area

The town that grew together with (and because of) a coal mine, holds many interesting tales and stories. Did you know Trbovlje is the hometown of a football team which was Slovenian champion more than one time? How and when was Trbovlje hospital built? Which Slovenian artist was inspired by the story of a Trbovlje barmaid and “Slovenian mother” Ana Dimnik? How many artists per square kilometre do Trbovlje have? What do the Honda robot ASIMO and cultural institution Delavski dom Trbovlje have in common?
In a relaxed walk through the town we shall find the answers to those and many other questions and get to know interesting details from the lives of fameus (and a bit less famous) people from Trbovlje. Take your time and immerse yourself to the vivid life of ex mining town, now turning to its future as a new media setting.
PROGRAM INCLUDES:
- visit of Virtual mining museum 4. Dritl
- visit of mining colony at Njiva
