Timber is the main export and the foundation of the thriving economy in Ilirska Bistrica. Many mills, sawmills and woodworks ran the town and the best-preserved example of this rich industrial heritage is the Hodnik mill, which dates back to the 16th century. The huge edifice hosts a rich ethnological and technical collection well worth a visit! 

With a single ticket that you can buy at the Info point, you can see the mill and the sawmill, the shoemaker's collection and the Beekeeping collection, where you can learn about the development of beekeeping and Anton Žnideršič's revolutionary beehive.
