kranj

Kranj is the fourth largest city of Slovenia, approx. 20km north west from Ljubljana with a population of 51,225 (2002). The centre of the unofficial Gorenjska (Upper Carniola) region (northwestern Slovenia) is mainly an industrial city with strong electronics industry. It also has preseved medieval old town at the confluence of the Kokra and the Sava rivers. The city lies at the busy Ljubljana - Jesenice - Villach (Austria) - Munich (Germany) railway and highway. The airport of Ljubljana (in Brnik) is also very close to Kranj. The former (until 1918) Austrian province Carniola (Kranjska in Slovene language) was named after this city as well as Carnian Alps, now bordering Austria and Italy.

Due to its small size, the beauties of Kranj can be best seen on foot or with a bycicle, with your car parked at your staying place.
