GORENJSKA

Enjoying the easy descent on the way back to the start of Route 6

If you were only allowed to visit one part of Slovenia, it would probably be Gorenjska. If you have already visited Slovenia, it was probably Gorenjska. The region is up in the mountains and contains some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere in Slovenia. From the fairytale Lake Bled to the mighty Sava River to the ski resort of Kranjska Gora, everywhere you look there’s something to arrest the eye. Apart from Ljubljana, Gorenjska is the most popular destination for tourists to the country; however, unless you’re in Bled on a Saturday in the middle of the season, you’re unlikely to feel crowded out. Relatively speaking, this is still an unknown gem.
