Beekeeping Museum
Although it might not sound like a crowd-pleaser, the Beekeeping Museum is one of the most interesting in the country, and there's not a whole lot you won't know about things apiarian after buzzing around for an hour or so inside.

There is also a chimney-less 'black kitchen' and an interesting collection of children's book illustrations by celebrated Slovenian artists.
The fresco on the exterior shows the Good Samaritan performing his work of mercy.

Don't miss the cellar dining room, which was once part of a prison (and may have seen an execution or two), and the wonderful back terrace with stunning views of - wait for it - Mt Triglav itself. Does travel get any better than this?
