The Gorenjska Region is situated in the northwestern part of Slovenia. It offers visitors the wonderful natural and cultural heritage. The Gorenjska Region is very diverse because it has Alpine valleys (Planica, Tamar, Vrata), mountains, lakes, bigger and smaller cities, hidden villages, gorges, ravines, waterfalls (Pericnik, Savica, Martuljek Waterfall, Nadiza...). The large part of the Gorenje Region is surrounded with the Julian Alps. The majority of the Julian Alps is part of the Triglav National Park, where is the highest mountain Triglav. It is also the highest peek in Slovenia and Slovenian national symbol of the resistance against Christianization. At the northern part, where Gorenjska borders to Austria, are two mountain ranges: Karavanke and Kamnik Savinja Alps. The small village Jezersko is a starting point for hiking trips to Kamnik Savinja Alps. Gorenjska has many skiing centres, but the largest and the most popular is in Kranjska Gora, which is situated near Italian and Austrian border. The most visited Alp resort is Bled.
