Planšarski muzejMuseum of Alpine Dairy Farming, Stara Fužina
Opened in 1971, the Museum of Alpine Dairy Farming is located in an abandoned village cheese-dairy of 1883 where cheese was still made as late as 1967. The museum was renovated and expanded in 1990.
The first room presents the interior of an alpine dairy hut with furnishings from the alpine pasture Zajamniki dated from 1849. The second room is a well-preserved cheese-dairy with two built-in rennet vats and a press for forming cheese loaves. On display are cheese-making utensils, milk bowls, butter churns and showcases featuring the equipment of alpine herdsmen and dairymen, photographs and documents. The third room contains photographs showing typical alpine dairy huts and their settlements at Bohinj, while the fourth room displays portraits of old herdsmen and dairymen, who for 40 or more years took care of cattle in alpine pastures.
