The Liznjek House (Slovene: Liznjekova domacija) is an ethnographic museum housed in a renovated 18th-century farmhouse in the centre of Kranjska Gora. It provides a glimpse into the past of this traditional alpine village and gives a picture of how families lived when they had to be completely self sufficient – growing, baking, weaving, woodworking and more, all on site. This shingle-roofed residence of a wealthy landowner was built in 1781. It is of mostly brick construction, with a wooden upper story; there is a furnished attic, and a full basement level, including a cellar and stable. A large barn across the courtyard is also part of the farm. Traditional furnishings such as painted trousseau chests and a grandfather clock in the living quarters date back to the 1800s, as does the religious iconography in a small bedroom. The former stables have displays on local author Josip Vandot, a popular children’s writer who wrote tales about a shepherd boy called Kekec.

All in all, this is one of the nicest small folk museums you’ll see around the world and is definitely worth a visit, especially as the house is well-preserved and there is also a helpful guide to show you around.
Open: May–Oct: 10am–6pm Tue–Sat, 10am–5pm Sun; Dec–Apr: 10am–4pm Tue–Fri, 10am–5pm Sat & Sun. The entrance fee is €2,5.
