Trbovlje combines the close-knit character of a former mining town with the imposing scale of Zasavje industry, reflecting its position in the narrow valley of the Trboveljščica stream, a tributary of the Sava River. Coal mining shaped local life from the 19th century and remains central to the town’s identity. Its most recognisable landmark is the 360-metre chimney of the Trbovlje Power Station, the tallest structure in Slovenia, rising high above the valley floor. Steep, wooded hills keep the settlement compact while connecting it to the wider Sava corridor. Delavski dom Trbovlje, a long-established cultural centre, reflects the area’s strong workers’ traditions. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Slovenia’s Zasavje region.
