8 days in Kranj Itinerary

The capital of Slovenia's Alps, Kranj allows you to stand with one foot in the nature and another in a town that's both a cultural center and a base for outdoor activities.

Change things up with these side-trips from Kranj: Velika Planina (in Stahovica), Logar Valley Landscape Park (in Solčava) and Anthony's Shaft Mining Museum (in Idrija). There's much more to do: appreciate the history behind Franja Partisan Hospital, admire the landmark architecture of Plečnik's Arcade & Fountain, get engrossed in the history at Škofja Loka Castle, and steep yourself in history at Old Town Centre of Radovljica.
