Route Description

Here is a tip for a family trip: visit The Herman Potočnik Noordung Center of Space Technologies in the town of Vitanje! Learn about the visionaries of space travel, explore space technologies, and immerse yourself in the story of space. If your kid keeps asking you “Why this, why that,” prepare to be bombarded with inquiries even more after visiting this place ;).

Here is more info on the space center.

Outer space has been attracting generations upon generations of humans, children especially. From the relatively demanding exhibitions to interesting interactive content, the Center offers something for the whole family, even the kids. They can enjoy VR Noordung and Electra spaceflight simulation, which only increases their enthusiasm and knowledge about space.

Adults can enjoy the exhibitions and SPACE 360, which is a carefully conceived concept of space representation approaching virtual reality without the use of special goggles. The projection room allows a unique interactive exploration of the universe and various areas such as the planets of our solar system, phenomena in space (solar eclipse, lunar eclipse) as well as missions such as Voyager and the Hubble Space Telescope.
