Predjama Castle is an unusual castle in that it is built into a large cave opening on a mountainside. As a result, it was able to withstand long sieges, since the occupants could exit through the cave to get supplies. The castle was built in the late 1500s. Its most infamous resident was Arazem Jamski, who was a sort of Slovenian Robin Hood.
The inside of the castle is rather plainly furnished, but the castle is still worth touring for its unusual construction and layout, and the views that you can get from the upper floors. You can also, for an extra fee, tour the cave. In August, the castle hosts a medieval-stlye tournament, complete with banquets and knights and other people in medieval costumes. Leave a Comment

About 500 m from the main road there is the village Turjak and on the hill - the castle of Turjak.
Present castle was mentioned in 1220. It was owned by Auersperg family. It was burned down in 1943. Some parts were renovated later.
The renovation of the castle still continues. Leave a Comment

Skofja Loka today pleasantly combines a thousand years of tradition with a modern touch. In recent times there has been substantial development of the textile, wood and machine industries, but this has been deliberately kept to the outskirts of the town. Leave a Comment

deep in the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, enshrouded by the lofty peaks of Kroficka, Ojstrica, Lucka Baba, Planjava, Brana, Turska Gora and Rinke, all of which rise above 2,000 metres.
The valley is divided into three parts: the lower tract is called Log, the central one Plest, whilst the upper part is known as Kot. Log and Plest are covered by meadows, whilst Kot is partially forested. Behind the green scenery of the forest one can hear the magnificent cascading of the Rinka Waterfall.
The attraction of Logarska Dolina Valley to the nature lover lies in its abundant natural sights coupled with an almost pristine environment. A characteristic mark is also imparted by the farmsteads which have over the centuries aided in contriving a cultural landscape fashioned by the hand of man. The result? - Complete harmony of man and nature, a characteristic seldom found in this day and age Leave a Comment

The upper part of the river and the valley is situated within the Triglav National Park and it is called Trenta.The valley as well as a big part of the Slovenian Alps was researched by a botanist, philosopher, researcher - Julius Kugy. In memory of him there is also a monument near the spring of river Soca.
The river is so clean, that's why it has a beautiful bright blue color and a lot of animals find their home in the river or near it. An example is the Soca trout. It is quite famous and it is good to eat as well. The last years the American trout has been pushing out the Soca trout, because they are more aggressive. The scientists are trying to save the fish, but it's going to be very hard and it's going to take a long time
If you visit the upper part of the valley, where the Soca is still untamed by dams, you will recognise in the wild, milky blue - green waters of the stream the headstrong character. Leave a Comment

Jezersko means a place with a lake.
This area is surrounded with Karavanke and Kamnik's Alps. It is very popular touristic destination because of its unspoiled nature, its healthy alpine climate and its fine starting point to the mountains Leave a Comment

 The last waterfall before
disapearing by KristaB
Through time, the river dug its way through the ground hollowing series of spectacular canyons and carved rooms. The largest is Martelova room, one of the largest in Europe with horizontal floor plan of 12.000 m2.
