An alpine resort with nature on its doorstep, holidays to Kranjska Gora are all about discovering the beauty of Slovenia's wild spaces.

Borderlands

Tucked away in the north-west corner of Slovenia's Julian Alps, Kranjska Gora's around a two-hour bus ride from the capital city, Ljubljana. Encircled by the mountains of Triglav National Park, there's plenty of exploring to do – you're also less than an hour's hike from the borders of Austria and Italy.

Diverse dishes

The cuisine in this region of Slovenia has been influenced by its neighbours. In downtown Kranjska Gora, you'll find attractive timber-clad restaurants serving up everything from sauerkraut – that's fermented cabbage, and it's tastier than it sounds – to Slavic beef stew. There are also family-run pizzerias tucked around quaint corners.

Wander through wonderland

Walking trails weave their way through Kranjska Gora's pristine forests, with places to pause in front of dreamy meadows and craggy mountain vistas along the way. There's also the emerald waters of Jasna Lake, which is less than 30 minutes' walk from the town centre – perfect for a quick swim or day's lounging.
