Kropa - presentation
The picturesque village of Kropa beneath the slopes of Jelovica is a typical example of an iron-working town in the Gorenjska region. The mighty foundries and the houses of former charcoal makers, miners and nail makers, the melting furnaces andforges stand as first-rate monuments to the centuries-old tradition of metalworking and nail making.
The blacksmith's museum in the village shows the historical development of iron processing from the ore to the nails, and it introduces the visitor to the social, economic and cultural conditions in Kropa and the nearby towns.
