Žaga Rog

The steam sawmill was built by the Auersperg family in 1894. Until 1914, it was the largest and most modern sawmill in the Carniola region.
To facilitate timber transport, a 35-kilometer forest railway line was gradually constructed.
The sawmill operated until 1932.

Today, this area marks the meeting point of the Dolenjska and Kočevska regions.
The large clearing nearby is a popular destination for excursions.
In a small cabin by the forest road, you’ll find information boards about the history of the sawmill, and in the nearby Scout House, there is a model of the sawmill on display.
