The Capital of the Slovenian Alps
For millennia, Kranj has been situated at a strategic location between two rivers, nestled on conglomerate rock beneath the Alps. As the capital of the Gorenjska region and a starting point for exploring this area, Kranj is just half an hour's drive east from Ljubljana and only 20 minutes west from Bled.
Kranj is also the only city in Slovenia from which you can admire Triglav, Stol, and Grintavec - the three highest peaks of the Slovenian Alps. You can experience these majestic summits with the help of experienced guides or simply admire them from afar. With the mountainous backdrop of these three kings among the two-thousanders, Kranj is truly the heart of the Slovenian Alps.
