About This Museum

Tucked away in the deep, green forests of Kočevska Reka, this place is a total surprise. You'd completely miss the entrance if you didn't know what you were looking for—it's literally built into a hillside! Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time to the Cold War era, with its original equipment and that distinct, cool, damp air. It’s a small but incredibly powerful glimpse into a secret part of Slovenia's history.

Collection Highlights

You can see the original communications gear, generators, and stark living quarters exactly as they were left. The real highlight is just feeling the weight of the silence and imagining what life was like for the people stationed here.

Visitor Information

Heads up, you absolutely need to book your visit in advance through their website or by calling. Don't just show up! And bring a jacket—it's chilly down there year-round.

Architecture & Building

It's not a building so much as a hidden concrete fortress buried underground, designed to be completely invisible from the outside.
