Kranj (pronounced "Krah-n") is a city in Central Slovenia. It is the historical capital of Carniola.
Known by Grad Khislstein (castle) and poet Prešeren museum. Through the city flows the river Kokra in a deep canyon.
Šmarjetna gora is a nearby hill with hotel and restaurant on top, from which there's a nice view of Kranj and surrounding landscape. It's accessible on foot or with a car.
In the city are small shops, but out on the edge of town are more shopping centers! One is Majdičev log on the river Sava island, another on Planina, much bigger!
