Museum of Alpine Dairy Farming, Upper Carniola Region, Slovenia
4.0 (45 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Bohinjsko Jezero Speciality Museums
Interesting!!
Small but very nice museum about dairy farming in the area and the practices is still uses. Coming from a farm in the USA it is very different on how they take care of herds and cheesemaking is also explained. If going to the Vogel Ski Resort it is a stop well worth it. There was even a lady in there that has first hand experience of what it is like to live the lifestyle.

small but sweet
This is a very interesting place that takes about 10 minutes of your time but it is well worth a visit. Your Bohinj guest card should get you a discount rate . Some great artefacts on display.

found my roots
the last thing I wanted to do after 8 hrs of sightseeing was this last stop but I was with a group. We arrived at a quaint ancient wooden village which hasn't been touched for centuries. i found the museum and surrounding property worth inspecting architecturally. Very interesting slice of alpine village life and a true "cottage industry" including the inside of the actually cottage. It contained all the utensils and equipment to herd, milk and process the cheese as they moved the village herd up the mountains to the greener pastures. Never would I have thought that this little village was connected to my ancestors. A large placard with a bio and picture of a dairy lady, Anaj, with my same last name. I knew my family emigrated from this area around 1880 now i had found the village/valley where they lived. More poignant was the plaque on the outside of the entrance dedicated to the partisans who were killed by the Nazis. That plaque contained two of my relatives ages 19 and 25 who were executed in 1945 because of their resistance to that fascist regime. As a tour group we were invited by the owner of the property to his tavern ( directly across the court yard) for a taste of the local cheeses and liquors.
