Bloke Skiing Museum
In 2014, the municipality of Bloke, the birthplace of Slovenian skiing, opened a museum devoted to its local tradition. Here, skiing did not develop as a pastime, but rather as a means to an end under specific circumstances. The museum shows this and more: the region’s rich cultural heritage, its geographical and meteorological characteristics, the habits of its people, etc. All of these factors led to the development of skiing in Bloke, which was also documented by the 17th century Slovenian historian Janez Vajkard Valvasor.
