The town of Kamnik lies at the foot of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Slovenia.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It was first documented in 1229, well after two of its castles. Atop the town hill sits Mali Grad (Little Castle), of which only the Romanesque chapel is preserved. The ruins left behind from Stari Grad (Old Castle) are, today, a popular hiking destination, rewarding visitors with breathtaking views. Kamnik boasts a Franciscan Monastery, known for its exceptionally rich library, while the town\u2019s wonderful architectural heritage is a testament to the era when Kamnik was the capital of Carniola. Kamnik was awarded the Slovenia Green Destination Gold label.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Velika Planina is an easily accessible Karst plateau offering views of the highest peaks in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, as well as views to Ljubljana and beyond.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The shepherds\u2019 settlement atop the plateau, which attracts visitors throughout the year, is one of very few preserved settlements of this size in Europe. It is known for its distinctive architecture which has become a symbol of Velika Planina. The settlement comes to life especially in June when huts are occupied by herdsmen who pasture their cattle there until September. They are happy to invite passers-by for a proper herdsman\u2019s snack, a bowl of sour milk and spoonbread.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Named after the river running through it, Kamni\u0161ka Bistrica Valley lies at the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The perfect point of departure for trips into the mountains, the valley\u2019s most interesting sights include: the source of the river, where you will find a small lake, a 30-meter canyon called Predaselj and a small torrential waterfall called Orglice (or Orli\u010dje). The valley can be traversed via Ko\u017eelj Trail, the most beautiful part of which runs from the cable car station at the base of Velika Planina past a hunting lodge designed by Ple\u010dnik, Slovenia\u2019s greatest architect, and ends at Dom in Kamni\u0161ka Bistrica. The river provides clean, potable water with which to refresh yourself along the way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Vol\u010dji Potok Arboretum botanical garden is a cultural monument of national importance, comprising of 85 hectares of land, 5,000 trees, 1,000 types of roses and as many as 2 million tulips, one for each Slovenian.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Gorgeous in all seasons, the park is a popular promenade and is especially beloved by families, thanks to the large playground for children. One of its most recognizable features is a French garden designed by a former owner, Leon Souvan.

Kamnik Kamnik je mesto v naro\u010dju Kamni\u0161ko-Savinjskih Alp, ki velja za eno najlep\u0161ih srednjeve\u0161kih mest v Sloveniji. V pisnih virih se prvi\u010d omenja leta 1229, njegova gradova pa \u017ee prej. Na mestni vzpetini stoji Mali grad, od katerega je ohranjena le romanska kapela, ru\u0161evine nekdanjega Starega gradu pa danes predstavljajo dobro obiskano pohodno to\u010dko, s \u010dudovitim razgledom. Na \u010das, ko je bil Kamnik glavno mesto de\u017eele Kranjske, nas spominja \u010dudovita arhitekturna dedi\u0161\u010dina. V mestu se nahaja tudi fran\u010di\u0161kanski samostan z izredno bogato knji\u017enico. Kamnik je prejemnik zlatega znaka Slovenia Green Destionation. Ve\u010d o Kamniku Velika planina je lahko dostopna kra\u0161ka planota, z vrha katere se vidijo najvi\u0161ji vrhovi Kamni\u0161ko-Savinjskih Alp, razgled pa sega vse do Ljubljane in naprej. Pastirsko naselje na planini velja za enega redkih ohranjenih naselij te velikosti v Evropi ter privablja \u0161tevilne obiskovalce vse dni v letu. Prepoznavno je po svoji tipi\u010dni arhitekturi, ki predstavlja nekak\u0161en simbol Velike planine. Naselje posebej za\u017eivi v mesecu juniju, ko ko\u010de zapolnijo pastirji, ki s svojo \u017eivino ostanejo na pa\u0161i vse do meseca septembra. Obiskovalce z veseljem povabijo na pravo pastirsko malico \u2013 kislo mleko in \u017egance. Ve\u010d o Veliki planini Dolina, poimenovana po istoimenski reki Kamni\u0161ki Bistrici, je ume\u0161\u010dena v osr\u010dje Kamni\u0161ko-Savinjskih Alp. Sve\u017eina reke veje skozi celotno dolino, njene najbolj zanimive to\u010dke pa predstavljajo izvir reke, kjer se nahaja manj\u0161e jezero, 30 metrov visoka soteska Predaselj in manj\u0161i hudourni\u0161ki slap Orglice. Po celotni dolini se vije Ko\u017eeljeva pe\u0161pot, najlep\u0161i del pa sega od spodnje postaje nihalke na Veliko planino, mimo Ple\u010dnikovega dvorca pa vse do zaklju\u010dka pri Domu v Kamni\u0161ki Bistrici. Dolina je odli\u010dno izhodi\u0161\u010de za izlete v visokogorje, ob vrnitvi pa vas pri\u010daka \u010dista in za pitje primerna voda. Ve\u010d o dolini Kamni\u0161ke Bistrice Arboretum Vol\u010dji Potok je kulturni spomenik dr\u017eavnega pomena. Na 85 hektarih povr\u0161ine se nahaja skoraj 5000 dreves, 1000 sort vrtnic in kar 2 milijona tulipanov, po eden za vsakega Slovenca. Park je priljubljeno sprehajali\u0161\u010de, ki je \u010dudovito v vseh letnih \u010dasih, zaradi velikega otro\u0161kega igri\u0161\u010da pa je \u0161e posebej dobro obiskan med dru\u017einami. Ena izmed najbolj prepoznavnih znamenitosti parka je francoski vrt, ki ga je zasnoval nekdanji lastnik Leon Souvan. Poleg stalnih razstav dinozavrov in kitov v naravni velikosti, pa se pa v parku \u010dez leto odvijajo tudi \u0161tevilne dobro obiskane prireditve. Obi\u0161\u010di Arboretum Vol\u010dji Potok Tuhinjska dolina, ki je nekdaj predstavljala pomembno trgovsko pot med Oglejem in Dunajem, je posejana s \u0161tevilnimi majhnimi vasicami. Doma\u010dini skrbijo za bogato etnolo\u0161ko dedi\u0161\u010dino, ki se navzven ka\u017ee s \u0161tevilnimi ohranjenimi kozolci, ka\u0161\u010dami in kmetijami. V eni izmed stranskih dolin se nahajajo Terme Snovik, najvi\u0161je le\u017ee\u010de in v trajnost usmerjene terme. Tuhinjska dolina ima kar nekaj to\u010dk vrednih postanka, in sicer cerkev sv. Miklav\u017ea na Gori, vasi \u0160pitali\u010d in Motnik ter kra\u0161ko planoto Menino planino.
