Kranjska Gora is a town in north-western Slovenia. It is a base for winter sports and is known for alpine skiing and ski jumping.
Kranjska Gora is a ski resort, and is therefore rather sterile. However, its surroundings are breathtaking. Nearby is a picturesque lake with a statue of the Zlatarog, the mythical guardian of Mount Triglav. His face appears on the Slovenian beer, Laško. 5 km from Kranjska Gora to Vršič Pass you can see a Russian chapel, where more than 110 Russian POWs died in an avalanche while building a road through Vršič Pass in World War I.
- Skiing and snowboarding at Vitranc.
- Hiking and cycling in the summer. Walking maps are available locally. Warning regarding these maps- "paths" that are not recommended routes may well lead you to an impassable scree. Paths labelled as "rather difficult" tend to involve scrambling, sometimes in places with considerable exposure where hand-holds tend to be rather unreliable. Paths labelled "very difficult" are for the suicidal!
- Mountain biking is available at the Fun Bike Park Kranjska Gora.
There is a supermarket in Kranjska Gora, as well as some bar-restaurants serving up pizzas etc. By the lake there is a rather nice, moderately priced restaurant serving Slovenian/ trans-European food.
There are a few bars in Kranjska Gora.
