Piran • Škofja Loka • Kranj • Celje • Ptuj The preserved medieval town walls, which once provided security and survival, today awaken the imagination with countless stories. Enjoy a stroll along the most beautiful highlights of Slovenian history.
Day 1 - Piran
Rising above Piran is a preserved section of the once mighty Renaissance town wall. It offers exceptional views of the sea and the town, which has “grown on salt”. Salt harvesting, which you can still see in the saltpans of Sečovlje, gave rise to the booming town at the time of the Venetian Republic. This is shown in a multimedia presentation in Mediadom.

Po poti rokodelskih tradicij - sejem bil je živ
Mesta, v katerih so rokodelci srednjeveških cehov svoje izdelke nekoč prodajali na sejmih, še danes ohranjajo mojstrska izročila, stare jedi in glasbo minulih časov. V okolici sejemskih mest so pogosto vinogradi, na potepu po mestu in okolici pa se lahko ustavite v značilnih gostilnah s tradicionalno hrano in žlahtno pijačo.
1. dan – Jesenice in Tržič
Na Jesenicah si privoščite delavski zajtrk, nato pa se podajte na odkrivanje Stare Save, edinstvenega fužinskega območja v Evropi. Osrednji trg obkrožajo fužinarski industrijski objekti – ostanki plavža, delavska Kasarna, Bucelleni-Ruardova graščina, cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja ter Kolpern – skladišče oglja.
Tržič je mesto, v katerem je bila ob koncu 19. stoletja v vsaki drugi hiši čevljarska delavnica. Danes lahko zgodbam čevljarskih mojstrov prisluhnete v Tržiškem muzeju, po celotne zgodovinskem jedru mesta pa se sprehodite po talnih odtisih kovinskih čevljev. Izročilo in tradicijo ohranja Šuštarska nedelja, ena najbolj obiskanih prireditev v tem delu Slovenije.
Tržič
2. dan – Radovljica
Radovljica preseneča s posebnostmi slovenskega čebelarstva – v čebelarskem muzeju sredi mesta ali ob posebnem čebelnjaku v bližnji Breznici. Na lectarski delavnici si izdelajte sladko lectovo srce. Ogled zaključite z Okusi Radol´ce v kateri od izvrstnih gostiln v mestu ali pa se na poti do Gradu Kamen, nekoč mogočnega gradu grofov Lamberg v Begunjah, ustavite v Vili Podvin v istoimenskem gradu, ki se ponaša z Michelinovo zvezdico.

Spretne roke idrijskih žena vas bodo navdušile s prikazom izdelave čudovite idrijske čipke in pripravo idrijskih žlikrofov, evropsko zaščitene kulinarične specialitete. Si upate poizkusiti tudi vi?
Idrija4. dan – Kamnik
Kamnik, mesto v naročju Kamniško-Savinjskih Alp, je bilo že v srednjem veku cvetoče trgovsko mesto in najpomembnejše mesto Kranjske. Na ta čas nas spominja čudovita arhitekturna dediščina. Povzpnite se na enega izmed gradov v neposredni bližini mesta in prisluhnite zgodbi o kamniški Veroniki. Ne zamudite največjega etnološkega festivala v Sloveniji – Dneva narodnih noš.
