 | | Currently used primarily in the Trbovlje thermal power plant (125 MW), brown coal was also a decisive factor in directing the course of the Vienna-Trieste railway through barely passable mountains in the middle of the 19th century. |
 | | Energy intensive industries, parts of which are still in operation (glassworks, the production of inorganic chemicals in Hrastnik, and the cement factory in Trbovlje), were developed due to the presence of coal in the second half of the 19th century. |
 | | Main services, including a regional hospital and a high school centre, are largely concentrated in Trbovlje, while other service activities are of a local character, with the exception of a small health resort in Medijske toplice at the source of a thermal spring. |
