Water driving mashinery

Water is the undisputed constant of Bistra – it has been there for millennia. Throughout time, it has represented the most important link between animate and inanimate nature; between man and nature; among the inhabitants in this environment …
The Technical Museum of Slovenia shows the importance of water in biological and mechanical terms using the river Bistra which runs through its grounds. If you stand upon the bridge over the Bistra river, you will see a Venetian saw and a veneer workshop on the forest side, and a mill and smithy of the marsh side – four objects testifying about the resourcefulness of human beings and how they used it to at least partially tame the force of water and ease their daily toil throughout history. Water as a driving force was an irreplaceable element of many civilizations, and it also remains an irreplaceable natural element for the entire humankind.
