Kranjska Gora Vršič Where the adventure begins

To the north, the edge of the Karavanke mountains, to the south the Julian Alps. Fresh summers, cold winters. Vast forests of coniferous trees and larches, and mountain pines above the tree line. Chamoise, deer and rabbits among the wild animals can be found here, and grouse and birds of prey among mountain birds.
Kranjska Gora, one of the most beautiful Alpine valleys, lies in the north-westernmost part of Slovenia, right next to the tri-border with Austria and Italy.
Settlements grew on the more distinct and fertile hills on the Karavanks side with a relatively more favourable climate due to its sunny position. Due to the mountain climate and limited farming area the Valley itself was settled late; the oldest settlements didn’t grow until the 11th century.

Majestic, mysterious, exciting, playful, and unique. Slovenia’s only national park proudly covers 840 square kilometers in the heart of the Julian Alps.
Endemic animal species, including the wolf, bear and lynx, and bountiful diversity of flora that boasts 19 endemites. In this land of myths and legends, people still live in perfect harmony with nature, attuned to its tradition.
