Hidden under the historic town center, Tunnels Under Old Kranj were built in World War II and served as a shelter for the local population. Today, the tunnels provide a space for various social events and offer home to cave orbweavers and cave crickets. Permanent exhibits offer a chance to see fossils and minerals, as well as a reconstruction of a bunker from the second world war.

Kranj is definitely worth a day trip or a stop along the road between Ljubljana and Bled. The bomb shelter tunnel system under the old town is massive, big enough to shelter at least 5,000 people...

We were so far twice in the tunnels, once during a wine festival and once as part of a guided tour. For the wine festival we were left on our own to find the entrance and walk through the tunnels, which was a great event. For the guided tour, the guide met us at the tourist office. We were a mixed group and the guide explained in English and Slovenian. The tour was very informative and interesting. I would recommend both occasions that we were in the tunnels!

We had a very nice local guide that spoke English very well. The tour is very informative. I would not recommend it for young children. Very interesting. Be advised that if the tour is bilingual it takes much longer, as there is much more talking than walking. Best book in advance.
