Kranj


Kranj is the largest city in Gorenjska Region. It lies on the confluence of Rivers Kokra and Sava. The city has interesting old town centre, where we can see narrow streets, churches, tollbooth, market place, the canyon of River Kokra, small shops, cafes, restaurants and other. Kranj is especially well known because of the great Slovenian poet, France Preseren. In the old town we can see the house where he lived and his monument in front of the theatre. Kranj has many large shop centres, where lots of people likes to meet and to go to the coffee. There are two hills for recreation and to see the wonderful view to the city, Smarjetna gora and St. Jost.
