Into the embrace of Gorenjska

We will drive to a place that allows us to do this at any time of the year due to its immense peace and perfect harmony of nature and its beauty. We drive along the Gorenje highway towards Bled and further to Jesenice.

Jesenice they also serve as a starting point for many trips to the nearby Karavanka, which have extremely beautiful vantage points overlooking the Julian Alps and far into the interior of Austrian Carinthia. Jesenice is also the starting point for traveling with the museum train along the Bohinj line, which leaves the station at 8:50 a.m. and arrives at Nova Gorica at 12 p.m. with stops in Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica, Most na Soča, Kanal. But it is not possible to experience everything in one day, so let this remain as a suggestion for the next adventure, and we will drive on to Kranjska Gora.

Due to the diversity of nature and the efforts of the locals to make it possible to walk along various paths, it can be beautiful Upper Sava valleys we also admire it on the 23 km long, moderately challenging cycling route that goes from Jesenice to Kranjska Gora and takes about 45 minutes. In the settlement, at the beginning Carniola Mountains, a little further from the new cemetery, we must not miss the bicycle stop, where its caretakers with their simplicity and familiarity welcome cyclists and also those who prefer to exchange the typical cafe scenery for an open grassy area. Here, the youngest can play on the blanket that is always spread out, full of toys, or feed the large and small goats with freshly picked grass, which are always hungry, regardless of the amount eaten. We can sip a refreshing drink on a comfortable lounger and admire the beautiful view of the surrounding highlands, and to top it off, indulge in the delicious taste of a homemade apple roll. Here we take the time to leaf through the Cycling Guide of Kranjska Gora in more detail, which describes as many as 150 km of marked cycling routes. That way, we won't run out of ideas and new destinations to continue our trip. Even if we did not bring a bicycle with us, this is not an obstacle, as it can be rented from many agencies in Kranjska Gora for 3.50 euros per hour or up to 10 euros per day. If you are also interested in buying sports equipment, are looking for accommodation or just want to relax in a cozy corner, the cafeterias, bakeries and Sport Point shops in the center of Kranjska Gora, next to the Prisank Hotel, offer all of this in one place.

The romance of the afternoon
It's been a long day, so let's have lunch in the Hama snack bar opposite the Tourist Information Center of Kranjska Gora. You can satisfy your hunger with an excellent kebab or fragrant burek. If we take the time for lunch, we have many choices in the city center. Those who want to combine gourmet pleasures with an idyllic view of Lake Jasna and the mighty highlands, head to the Milka restaurant, with an excellent selection of dishes and friendly service. The restaurant can be reached on foot (30 minutes from the center) or by car. For more romantic souls, there is also a horse-drawn carriage that takes us from the front of the Prisank hotel to Jasna and back. How we will spend the rest of the day should be a matter of our current inspiration, because Kranjska Gora offers us so many different routes, directions and activities that satisfy all tastes and desires, so let's give in to them and find the most suitable route for us.
