"Where there was a spring, there was a mill!"- Talk evening about the heritage of milling in the Vipava Valley
The history of milling is closely linked to the knowledge of technical knowledge and the mastery of natural energy sources such as water and wind. Milling dates back to the oldest trades. The first data on mills in the Vipava Valley date back to 15. century. "Where there was a spring, there was a mill", say the elderly Vipavci and Vipavke, who still remember the mills on the river Vipava and its tributaries, the work of mill workers and various adventures on the way to the mill.
You are cordially invited to a discussion evening, where we will reflect on what milling means to us in the modern world, how to involve young people in exploring heritage and why it is important to preserve the declining Mill Heritage for future generations.
They will be with us:
Boris Blazhko, researcher of lokavka history, crafts and other cultural heritage;
Tanja Maver Jamsek, co-author of the research paper of the pupils of Dobravlje elementary school, Vrtovin – Malni Branch School, sawmill and ironworks in Vrtovinskom - collection of memories and testimonies of Vrtovinskom;

»Kjer je bil studenec,tam je bil mlin!« – Pogovorni večer o dediščini mlinarstva v Vipavski dolini
Zgodovina mlinarstva je tesno povezana s spoznavanjem tehničnega znanja in obvladovanja naravnih virov energije, kot sta voda in veter. Mlinarstvo sega med najstarejše obrti. Prvi podatki o mlinih v Vipavski dolini segajo v 15. stoletje. » Kjer je bil studenec, tam je bil mlin «, povedo starejši Vipavci in Vipavke, ki se še spominjajo mlinov na reki Vipavi in njenih pritokih, dela mlinarjev in raznih dogodivščinah na poti v mlin.
Vljudno vabljeni na pogovorni večer, kjer bomo razmišljali, kaj nam mlinarstvo pomeni v sodobnem svetu, kako mlade vključiti v raziskovanje dediščine in zakaj je pomembno propadajočo mlinarsko dediščino še ohranjati za prihodnje generacije.
