Magical Litija and the Sitarjevec mine

As part of the December events in Litija, which we named Magic Litija, there is also a wide area of events in and before the Sitarjevec mine. Events are well attended and attract more and more visitors every year. They are inviting the visitors with differentness and uniqueness, and some with nostalgia and a pleasant atmosphere.

The mine is a proper thing for exploring the mining industry of a century ago. The place is safe, visitors get desinfected helmets

Very nice old museum mine. There is quite some history. You need a guide to enter the museum.

Very nice old museum mine. There is quite some history. You need a guide to enter the museum. It is very nice with huge potential for further development. There is a lot of parking available and small picnic tables. Nice for families as well.
