Since 1863, the gymnastic organization Sokol operated in Slovenia, welcoming all Slovenians with a vested interest in gymnastics; that is, until the collapse of the idea of Slovenian political unity. In 1905, following the new political division in Slovenian society, the Catholic side founded its own gymnastic organization, named Orel. Both also operated in the Ilirska Bistrica area.
