Piskernik was born in Bad Eisenkappel in Southern Carinthia, which remained with Austria after the First World War, and held a doctorate in natural sciences from the University of Vienna.[1] She worked for the provincial museum in Ljubljana and taught in various secondary schools.

As a nationally conscious Slovene woman, she was active in the Carinthian plebiscite and in a club of migrants.[2] In 1943 she was imprisoned and detained in the Nazi concentration camp Ravensbrück.[3]

After 1945 she became director of the Museum of Natural History in Ljubljana and worked in the conservation service.[4] In particular, she made efforts to renew and protect the Juliana Alpine Botanical Garden that was later incorporated into Triglav National Park.[5][6]

In the 1960s she headed the Yugoslav delegation of the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps (CIPRA) and proposed a transnational nature park with Austria in the Savinja Alps and Karawanks. The bilateral park was, however, never realized.[7] She died in 1967 in Ljubljana.
