Kropa i Kovaški muzej

Kropa is a picturesque Alpine village where a streamside walk reveals centuries of ironworking tradition. The Iron Forging Museum explains the industry, family life and craft of handmade nails.

Kropa sits in a narrow valley below the Jelovica plateau. Water-powered furnaces, nail making and generations of smiths shaped the village seen today.
