A very beautiful natural park with its mesmerizing emerald coloured lake. The entire place is very tranquil and serene, and quieter than the popular Lake Bled. The place is very picturesque, even though the lake is small. We really loved our time here and it's one of our favourite place in Slovenia.
3. Vrsic Pass - Julian Alps
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 360 reviews
At an altitude of 1611 metres, the mountain pass at Vrsic is the highest in the eastern Julian Alps and provides a natural link between the Savska and the Soska valleys. You may wish to have a relaxing cup of coffee or even stay the night at the Ticarjev mountain hut, which is located at the top of the pass. There are five mountain huts on Vrsic offering you rest and refreshment. Just off the main road winding up Vrsic, at an altitude of around 1200 metres rests the Russian chapel. Whilst ascending Vrsic, you can admire the natural rock-carved face of the lovely maiden Ajdovska deklica and a natural rock-window created in the face of the Prisank mountain.

We drove this 25km stretch from Kranjska Gora to Trenta valley at a slow pace, soaking in the glorious views and experiences en route. We spent over 3 hours completing the route with ~50 hairpin bends, armed with a very useful map provided by the friendly Kranska Gora tourist office at the start of this journey (do drop by and ask for the one with the stops marked and attractions labelled). September seems a perfect time to go, with modest traffic (cars and cyclists), place to pul over/park at most stops and favourable weather. Some of the memorable stops included Lake Jasna, the Russian Chapel, the Pagan girl, Postarski Dom (with a clearer view of the face as well, and some interesting WW bunker relics) and the source of River Soca. Fascinating!
4. Ajdovska Deklica
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 39 reviews
Ajdovska deklica is the rock face of a maiden that found its own special place in folk fable. Legend has it that the Ajdovska maidens foretold the people of Kranjska Gora their fortune at birth. They also advised the people when to sow their crops and when to harvest them. One of the maidens foretold the son of a hunter that he would kill the Goldenhorn which inhabited the surrounding mountains. This prophecy angered the other maidens who punished Ajdovska deklica by turning her into rock.
5. Prisank Mountain Window
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
The large window that nature carved in the face of the Prisank mountain is the best-known in Slovenia. It is a staggering 80 metres tall and 40 metres wide. Its tattered rock cliffs and the large mound of scree below indicate that sometime in history, the rock was punctured at a weak joint causing a landslide that, through rock-deterioration and weathering, grew to its present day size. Which is the correct name, Prisank or Prisojnik? This is a dilemma that has been going on for more than a century. Both names mean the same in the Slovenian language and the name of the mountain indicates that its slopes are positioned to face the Sun.
6. Nadiza

4.5 based on 12 reviews
In Tamar, from beneath the mountain crest of the Ponce, springs the source of the river, the Sava Dolinka. Its source, which surfaces from a rock crack and flows down the rocky riverbed to the valley, is called Nadiza. It soon disappears again in the gravelly terrain only to surface again a few hundred meters lower down the valley at Zelenci.
7. Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 63 reviews
According to tradition the church was built in the very earliest days of Kranjska Gora’s history. It was built in honour of the Virgin Mary and was called the church of Mary at Beli prod. Only the bell tower, built from sandy blocks in Romanesque style remains from the original church. The existing church dates back to the late Gothic period and was built in 1510 by master builder Jernej Firtaler from Villach. A certain Carinthian influence is evident mainly in the nave vault, which is supported by internal pillars and decorated with a web of ribs which makes it one of the most interesting of its kind in Slovenia.
