The Upper Sava Valley is considered to be one of the loveliest valleys in the far North-West of Slovenia. Discover it!
Make the day
your own
Take a ride on marked cycling trails or venture into the unknown on foot. When nature is covered in a white blanket, glide through it on skis and challenge your little ones to a snowball fight. But there's absolutely nothing wrong if you just spend the day by the fireplace with a cup of hot tea. Guilt-free.
Discover
forgotten
stories
Podkoren lies at the edge of the Triglav National Park, by the source of the River Sava, between the Karawanks and the Julian Alps. This charming village with a much longer history than the nearby town of Kranjska Gora has always attracted visitors with its fairy-tale appearance and pristine nature. Allow yourself to be charmed by it as well.
Make
an outing
Right next to the village of Podkoren lies Zelenci, a natural reserve with a stunning emerald lake that looks amazing in every season. Lake Jasna is a perfect spot for relaxation and refreshment during the summer heat. Kranjska Gora is not just a ski resort; it boasts a number of natural and cultural treasures. For thrill-seekers, the Planica Nordic Centre is the place to visit.
Find beauty
in all the seasons
Gorgeous nature beckons you into its embrace, whether it’s awakening or getting ready to rest. Skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledging or playful snowball fights – what is your favourite winter activity when the snow falls? As the days grow warmer, would you prefer to have a go at hiking, cycling, adventure sports or take a refreshing dip in the lakes?
