This year, the excursion will take us to the south-western part of Štajerska, where we shall first see the very young mining town of Velenje in the Šalek Valley, barely 52 years old, followed by the more than two-thousand-year-old town of Celje in the Savinja Valley, which is the administrative, cultural and economic centre of the Celje basin and of this part of Štajerska. We shall experience first hand the origin, history and characteristics of both places, as well as the lives of their inhabitants in the past and in the present.
