Slovenian Furnace, Kropa
Highlight • Historical Site
Blast Furnace Museum in Dno
Some of the preserved technical facilities along the Kroparica still bear witness to Fužina's former busy activity. The highest in Dno nad Kropo is the Slovenian Furnace, an ironworks from the 14th century. The archaeological remains of this important technical monument were discovered in 1953 and are covered with a protective building. The smelting furnace was three meters high and delivered 200 kg of iron for forging in 10 hours, the so-called wolf. They used 600 to 800 kg of charcoal for this. It was in operation until the middle of the 15th century, when the smelting works moved deeper into the valley. The preserved remains of the blast furnace are mentioned in sources from the 16th century as the Old Hammer.
The Slovenian Furnace is the oldest monument of its kind in Slovenia and documents the autochthonous smelting of iron ore in Slovenia at the end of the late Middle Ages.
