Culture and Local History

The renovated Škrateljnova domačija in Divača houses the Museum of Slovenian Film Actors. The domačija is considered a unique example of Karst architecture. The museum also features a permanent exhibition about the life and work of Ita Rina.

In the heart of Divača’s old town stands the church “Cerkev sv. Antona Puščavnika”. It was built at the beginning of the 17th century and consecrated in 1603. Another distinctive testimony to the town’s history is the Divača railway station building: it was built in the mid-19th century and reflects the architecture and splendour of that era.

Nature and Caves

The Divača Karst Nature Trail runs along the outskirts of Divača. Numerous information boards and signposts explain karst phenomena and tree species there. The landscape is also home to the Risnik collapse doline. It formed after the ceiling of a former underground cave chamber collapsed. Its steep rock walls provide shelter for many birds.

Divača Cave has been prepared for tourist visits since the end of the 19th century. Its entrance is just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Divača. Inside the cave, a well-laid-out and illuminated path runs for approximately 500 metres; it is suitable for visitors of all ages.

Cycling and Circular Routes

An approximately 4-kilometre cycling excursion to the Škocjan Caves can begin at Divača railway station. Divača also has a bike-sharing station in the car park next to the electric vehicle charging station. For hikers, the Divača circular route follows its own course: it begins in Divača and passes several collapse dolines as well as the Škocjan Caves.
