HALF DAY TOUR: Škofaj Loka and Kranj
We will take you to see two Slovenian towns. Kranj is Slovenia's fourth largest town with an attractive Old town. The old town of Kranj is placed on an escarpment above the rivers Kokra and Sava and attracts tourists with its many beautiful old buildings. The other old town we visit is Skofja loka. It is one of the most preserved medieval areas in Slovenia. Throughout the centuries the inhabitants of the town and its surroundings were occupied in many trades, which were developed at the end of the Middle Ages into the trade unions - guilds. There were many famous artists, writers and scientists who created a rich cultural heritage due to their constant work in an environment full of art and nature. Sightseeing tour in Škofja Loka takes you through its narrow streets to the 15th century Jacob's parish church, to the old Town Hall from the 16th century and other medieval buildings nearby. Concluding at the Friezing bishops' castle, which boasts a location on a hill above the town. Afterwards you will have some free time for refreshments, snacks or further exploring of the town.
