Discover Spodnja Idrija
MARY ON THE ROCK
Above the historic old centre of Spodnja Idrija proudly stands the parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption. The temple of Mary on the Rock, boasting a history of over 800 years, is situated in a wonderful location and is visible from all sides and far away.
KANOMELJSKE KLAVŽE
The mighty river barrages, called klavže were built in the times of the Napoleonic Illyrian Provinces, which is testified by the inscription on the stone plaque “Sub imperio Napoleonis 1813”. The barrages were designed for transporting wood down the river to the valley.

In Spodnja Idrija the crystal clear Idrijca and Kanomljica rivers merge and are home to the autochthon marble trout type Idrijca. From April to October the two rivers attract fly fishing lovers from all over the world with their natural beauty and rich fish population.

EXPERIENCES
IDRIJA LACE
Get to know the beauty of handmade bobbin lace.
For over three centuries the skilful bobbin lacemakers from the Idrija region have been intertwining the snow white threads and passing their knowledge from one generation to the next. The lace was first made for decorating churches and liturgical attire as well as the homes and dresses of wealthier peasant families.
In 1876 the Lacemaking School was established in Idrija and it has been operating ever since. Over this period, the Idrija lace has developed its recognisable shape. The Idrija women, most of them miners’ wives, were paid poorly for making lace, yet this activity brought them some extra income, which is why they started doing this in large numbers.
Even today, bobbin lacemaking is a popular pastime among many women and children.
