The old part of the city is known for its lively cultural and artistic scene and attractions such as the Ljubljana Castle, St. Nicholas’ Cathedral, the Town Hall and the National Gallery.

A medieval gem
Kamnik
Kamnik is a charming medieval town in central Slovenia, just below the Alps and only 20 km north of Ljubljana. It is considered one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Slovenia. At that time, it was a flourishing trading town where the Counts von Diessen from Bavaria had their seat. A wonderful architectural heritage reminds us of the time when Kamnik was the capital of Carniola. The special feature of the town is the extremely rich Franciscan library, where they keep around 10,000 books and notebooks printed before the end of the 18th century. Šutna is considered the most beautiful street in the city, decorated with typical signs advertising local craftsmen. Šutna has many attractions, including the birthplace of Rudolf Maister, the parish church of Mary Immaculate with a separate Gothic bell tower, the Sadnikar Museum and the birthplaces of famous locals. Kamnik is surrounded by rolling hills and mountains, which offer many opportunities for hiking, cycling and other outdoor activities.
Herder’s settlement
Velika planina
Velika Planina is a plateau at an altitude of about 1,500 meters, located in the Alps in central Slovenia. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Slovenia, known for its beautiful nature, tradition and unique architecture. The most typical dwellings on Velika Planina are the herder’s huts, placed in long rows creating unforgettable views. They are available to rent, but it is also fun to visit them and taste the authentic herder’s cuisine. Velika Planina is also home to the Church of Sts Primus and Felician, which is one of the highest lying churches in Slovenia.
During the warmer months Velika Planina is very popular with hikers and visitors, but also with cows, who are brought there for the fresh green grass and pleasant temperatures. In winter, Velika Planina transforms into a snow fairytale and offers numerous opportunities for skiing, cross-country skiing and sledding.
