News, Events & Announcements

This year marks 150 years since the prehistoric pile dwellings at Ig were first investigated – discoveries that placed the Ljubljana Marshes alongside the most important archaeological treasures of Europe. This anniversary is not only a remembrance of the past, but also a celebration of our community and the stories that connect us.

On Saturday, 20 September, we invite you to Morostig and the Center Ig for creative workshops, a public lecture, and friendly gathering in the spirit of the pile dwellers. Come and join us in honoring the heritage that has inscribed our region among the treasures of world history.

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the discovery of pile dwellings in Ig, we are preparing a varied summer program for all generations.

From July 17 to 27, families are invited to an exciting adventure called Pile Dwelling Treasure Hunt! With the help of clues and a map, you will explore the Ljubljana Marshes, learn about the life of pile dwellers, and win a small pile-dweller treasure.

Also don't miss the Saturday demonstration of pile dwelling craft technique (July 26), where you will be able to see with your own eyes how the prehistoric inhabitants of our region once made clay vessels, and other everyday objects. 

The events will take place in the Morostig House, the Morostig thematic trail, and the pile dwelling. Join the celebration of rich heritage and learn about the life of pile dwellers in a different and exciting way.

Before us is the Slovenian cultural holiday – Prešeren Day, celebrated on February 8th
