Skofja Loka is a beautiful small town and the walk on the old wooden bridge is just amazing. The bridge is called Devil’s bridge. Very picturesque.

Zupnijska cerkev Sv. Jakoba

Reviewed By vojkacestnik - Ljubljana, Slovenia

The church dates to 15 century, with a beatifully ornamented ceiling and interesting baroque altars. A place definitely worth seeing. Compare it to the churches in Kranj and Velesovo!

Skofja Loka Castle & Museum

The Škofja Loka Museum is housed in the Škofja Loka Castle, whose imposing exterior dominates the town below. The rich museum collections bear witness to the past and the present day of the territory along the Selška and Poljanska Sora rivers, which formed the Škofja Loka Dominion ruled by the Bishops of Freising, Bavaria, back in the day (973-1803). The Museum's archaeology, history, cultural history, art, ethnology, natural history and sports collections, as well as an open-air museum present the cultural heritage of the Škofja Loka area and also place it in the wider Slovenian and European contexts.

Charming little town, nice for families and for single or couple travellers as well. There is cute little playground with view of castle and square where you can have a nice cup of coffe... Or you can get lost in history while wondering through town with long art and craft tradition, so you can get a good deal for local products as well :-) From the castle on the hill (5 min walk) there is a stunning view, if you have time visit the museum as well. It is a great peek into medieval times and past glory. Round the castle there are many paths in beautiful nature and views worth seeing. If you have time and own transportation head to Poljanska valley and Selska valley.

Ponte Dei Cappuccini

Reviewed By Scenic375778

One of the oldest bridges in Europe, like an entrance to a fairy world with great wiev on the castle and paved streets. Start at the bus station and head into the paved narrow street, at the ned turn right and there it is.
