The Upper Sava Valley is a place, characterised by several activities in the past, but above all ironmaking and mountaineering. The Museum of Jesenice has been maintaining the historical memory of this area from Potoki to Rateče for more than 50 years by recording, collecting, documenting, examining and presenting the cultural heritage and thus transferring it to the future generations. Permanent exhibitions present the movable cultural heritage in the field of ironmaking, mining, geological history, the history of mountaineering, local history and their related activities: cultural, local and town history and ethnology of the Upper Sava region.
