You have certainly experienced Valentine’s Day, the holiday of lovers, in many different ways. Can you imagine spending it this time in the company of your loved ones 160 meters underground?
We invite you to escape to the underground kingdom, where you will be part of a unique romantic story.
Surprise your loved one with an invitation to a 5* experience, Velenje Underground.
You will be met by an expert guide and provided with a light and a helmet in order to visit the Coalmining Museum of Slovenia. After the ‘jump over the veal skin’ miner initiation ceremony, an amuse-bouche and the miners’ greeting – Good luck! – you will take Slovenia’s oldest continuously operating lift and descend into the tunnels located in one of the thickest layers of coal in the world. Visit the most attractive locations of this underworld, a surprising way of learning about the mining stories of old and new.
Then enter Europe’s deepest dining hall, located no less than 160 m below ground. It is here that the waiters and chefs of the gourmet restaurant, will pamper you with original dishes, inspired by local ingredients and mining traditions. The so-called ‘Štajger’s meal’ will be accompanied with carefully selected wines and musical animation.
After this culinary extravaganza, you will embark on a thrilling mining train ride and then take the lift back to the surface, where you will enter the ‘black’ miners’ changing room. Over a glass of drink, you will discuss your impressions, while a surprise souvenir will provide an enriching final touch that will allow you to share your memories of the experience with your family and friends.
