General presentation
Škofja Loka et Kranj
Historical towns near Ljubljana, between medieval bridges, castle, urban canyon of Kokra and access to the Prealps.
The discovery of Škofja Loka and Kranj revolves around Škofja Loka, Kranj and Canyon of the Kokra. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage, riverscapes and mountain reliefs, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Historical city
Škofja Loka
Škofja Loka keeps one of the most legible medieval silhouettes of Slovenia, with bridge, castle, old square and houses at the foot of the hills. The visit is short but dense, ideal for a more heritage day from Ljubljana.
City and Canyon
Kranj
Kranj It occupies a promontory between the Sava and the Kokra, which gives the old centre a very direct relationship with the relief. The streets, the gazebos and the canyon of the Kokra make up a more surprising urban stage than it seems.
Castle and museum
Château de Škofja Loka
The castle of Škofja Loka overlooks the city's rooftops from a wooded terrace, with a sober courtyard and open views to the hills. Its collections extend the medieval promenade by trades, costumes and local history, without requiring too long a visit.
