Kranj
Print this page

Situated along the Sava river, Kranj, an ancient city that gave its name to the Carniola region, impressively stands out against the magnificent Julian Alps. Gothic and Renaissance structures of long ago compete for attention with the more modern works of the Slovene master, Plečnik. The spiritual and temporal come together harmoniously in the old center's many churches and museums. The destination of a hike in the surrounding hills and mountains could just as likely be a hill-top church as a lofty peak.
