Programme and event grounds

Events / By

First and foremost: there are no Covid-19 related restrictions in Slovenia anymore! 

The event is hosted in and around the National Museum of Slovenia. The focus of your attention will be the Lapidarium Pavilion (1) and the adjacent garden (2), where you will find the logbook, trackable exchange, banner for logging the Locationless cache, Lackeys from the HQ and reviewers meeting point and a shady seating area to relax, geochat and display your geocoin or wood coin collection. The pavilion also hosts two geocaches: a Letterbox and a Virtual cache. You can collect your online purchases near the entrance to the Pavilion.

The event grounds will be open from 9.00 to 18.00:

  • 9.00 – event opens in the Lapidarium pavillion for collection of online purchases and early logbook signing 
  • 10.00 – main Museum building opens, Museum Lab Adventure published, event fully open
  • 11.00 – 16.00 guided tours of the museum (book in the Event Store)
  • 13.00-14.45 – Create your SWAG workshops (free, but book in the Event Store)
  • 18.00  main Museum building and Lapidarium Pavilion close, event closes

Signal the Frog is attending the event and will meet the geoLjubljana attendees as he strolls the event grounds several times before and after noon. 

Geocaching shops (3) are located on the plateau in front of the Lapidarium Pavilion. Toilets and lockers are located in the main Museum building (4). Visit of the National museum permanent and temporary exhibitions is free for geocachers, who attend the geoLjubljana 2022 and wear the event badge (available at the Slovenski Geocaching klub stall).

Event badge: wear it at all times!

Adventure Lab Adventures

Two Adventure Lab adventures will be published for the geoLjubljana 2022 mega event. Tivoli Park adventure will be available on Friday, June 3, in the afternoon. National Museum adventure will be published on Saturday, June 4, at 10.00 as the museum opens. The adventure will feature a self-guided visit with stages at the most important exhibits of the permanent collection of the museum. Wear your event badge for free entrance to the exhibition! Museum adventure will also be available on Sunday, as the permanent exhibition visit is free every first Sunday of the month.

Event cafeteria and dining

The event cafeteria (6) is located across the Tomšičeva street at the Lili Novy Garden (Vrt Lili Novy) cafe in the shady garden of Slovenian PEN center. The cafeteria opens at 10.00. They offer coffee and other refreshing drinks, popular among geocachers, as well as ice cream and some sweet snacks. 

 

If you want more, the dining options in the area between the event grounds and Ljubljanica river are almost endless. There’s something for everyone in the walking distance from the event. Including two grocery shops, where you can get the supplies and have a picnic on the grass in Tivoli park!

 

Weather and water

We expect a warm, maybe even hot day. No rain. Make sure you have enough water as you venture around Ljubljana. Tap water is excellent and there are public drinking fountains all over the city centre. One of them, on Čopova street, is particularly interesting…

 

Parking

Suggested parkings are Tivoli I and Tivoli II in the walking distance from the event (see the local map below and event listing for waypoints). Parking is free on Saturday and Sunday, but make sure you arrive early as parkings fill up with the visitors of Tivoli park later in the day. There is a parking garage next to the event (entrance from Šubičeva street) and a parking garage under the Kogresni trg square. Parking in the city centre is convenient, but comes with a price!
