Hrastnik is a town and municipality in central Slovenia, located in the upper valley of the Sava River, about 40 kilometers from the capital Ljubljana. The region is known for its rich coal resources and long mining history, and was once one of Slovenia's important industrial centers.
Hrastnik is situated on the Alpine fronts, the terrain is dominated by hills and valleys and has a temperate continental climate with four distinct seasons. The surrounding nature is beautiful and suitable for outdoor hiking and eco-tourism.
The economy was traditionally based on coal mining, but in recent years there has been a gradual shift towards manufacturing and tourism. The local area retains 19th century mining facilities and workers' housing estates, reflecting the history of the Industrial Revolution. The annual Mining Culture Festival is an important folklore event.
Visitors can visit the ruins of Hrastnik Castle, the Church of the Holy Spirit and other historical buildings, or learn about industrial history along the Mining Heritage Trail. The neighboring region of Zagorje is known for its vineyards and traditional farmhouses for a rural experience.
