Velika planina is one of the few shepherd settlements still in operation, where you can get to know the traditional local shepherd culture. It is famous for its exceptional natural beauty and offers many options for shorter or longer hikes. You can also climb it with a swing from Kamniška Bistrica, then continue the two-seater ride to the top, where a perfect view awaits you. For an ideal vacation, you can spend the night in one of the cabins, visit the museum collection in Preskarjeva bajta or go skiing, sledding or cross-country skiing.
