Kranj

Kranj is the only town in Slovenia from which you can see Triglav, Stol, and Grintavec, the peaks of the Slovenian mountains that make up our Alps, and the only town through which the 30-metre-deep canyon of the Kokra River winds. That’s why locals like to say they have one foot in the city and one foot in nature.

Kranj is the cultural, active, green, and healthy capital of the Slovenian Alps, where you will have everything at your fingertips, from drinking water and refreshing nature to the historic city center, which is beautifully rounded off by their slogan ‘Alpine air. City flair’. Visit the SOS-Proteus information centre for the protection of olms in the tunnels under the old town of Kranj, or stop by the Cabinet of Janez Puhar, a pioneer of world photography.

Cyclists will enjoy the Flower of Cycling Routes to nearby towns (also Ljubljana and Bled), while hikers can walk around the beautiful Park Brdo. At the end of a day fill your belly with a culinary trio consisting of Carniolan sausage, beer, and štruklji, a traditional rolled dumpling.
