Land of Triglav the most interesting part of Slovenia taken from air!
Video of Gorenjska region Slovenia made from air .If by some misfortune you were only allowed to visit one region of Slovenia, there is no doubt that Gorenjska would be a good choice. There, for example, you can enjoy views of wonderful Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj and the peaks of the Julian Alps and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, a wide range of outdoor activities in the resort town of Kranjska Gora, and strolls through the beautifully preserved centres of old towns such as Kranj and Škofja Loka. But of course Gorenjska also offers many other pleasures.
Triglav, Slovenia's highest mountain, lies at the heart of the Triglav National Park, an area of high, rocky mountains and deep river gorges, karst chasms and sunny Alpine pastures which offers protection to many endemic animal and plant species and the traditions of the former way of life of rugged mountain-dwellers and Alpine dairy farmers.
On the northern side of the kingdom of Triglav is the Upper Sava Valley. In summer, the popular tourist resort of Kranjska Gora offers a wealth of outdoor recreational activities and sports (hiking, climbing, cycling, horse riding, skydiving, fishing), while in winter it has excellent facilities for various forms of skiing and other winter pleasures (dog sledding, night tobogganing, snowmobile rides). Visitors to Kranjska Gora can also enjoy a casino and a range of wellness programmes, while children will have fun in the land of the fictional hero Kekec. In nearby Planica, in the shelter of two-thousand-metre peaks, the world's best ski jumpers come to compete every year.
The area of the Julian Alps is enclosed by two beautiful lakes. The resort town of Bled, with its legendary island in the middle of the lake and its clifftop castle, its hot springs and its pleasant climate, has been attracting cosmopolitan visitors for centuries. Bathing establishments, hotels with swimming pools, footpaths, tennis courts, golf courses, a casino, the sports airfield in Lesce and nearby sights of natural and cultural interest provide plenty more reasons for a visit. Not far from the lake is Blejski Vintgar, the remarkable natural gorge of the river Radovna. Bohinj, with its unspoilt Alpine lake, is popular with visitors not only for its beautiful natural setting and the ski centres of Vogel, Kobla and Soriška Planina, but also for its rich local cultural traditions and numerous cultural and religious monuments. Nearby Pokljuka is a paradise for hikers and mushroom pickers and a venue for important international biathlon competitions.
The most important river in this area is the Sava. At the point where the river begins to be invigorated by tributaries from left and right, the valley gradually widens. Cities and towns with venerable traditions, together with the villages scattered across the high Alps and softly rounded hills, create a land of new experiences not far from the national capital.
The centre of Gorenjska is Kranj, with its surprising industrial, commercial and cultural traditions. The architect Jože Plečnik had a profound impact on the appearance of Kranj's old town centre. Two of the most important cultural venues in the town are the Prešeren Theatre and Khislstein Castle, the latter of which is home to Gorenjska Museum.
Škofja Loka has the most beautifully preserved medieval town centre in Slovenia. The rooms of Loka Castle contain various museum collections, while the former castle garden has become an open-air museum.
Below Blegoš, the highest peak of the Škofja Loka Hills, the countless beauties of Škofja Loka combine with the many local cultural and craft traditions of the Poljanska Dolina and Selška Dolina valleys. Železniki, a former ironworking centre, conserves the lacemaking tradition, while Dražgoše is famed for its gingerbread. The Škofja Loka Hills are full of pleasant paths and trails for hikers and cyclists. Škofja Loka and the surrounding area also offer a number of themed routes and restaurants offering traditional cuisine.
To the north, near the border with Austria, is Jezersko, an attractive area with its own autochthonous breed of sheep, Planšarsko Jezero (a man-made lake), Čedca Waterfall (the highest in Slovenia), ancient farmhouses and granaries, and unspoilt mountain scenery. Not far from Tržič, a town with a long shoemaking tradition, is the world-famous Dovžan Gorge, where several interesting geological phenomena may be observed. The Kamnik-Savinja Alps also contain one of the most popular ski resorts in Slovenia: Krvavec.

Dovžanova soteska (Govor: slov., CC: slov., English, hrv., srbski)
Tržič (nemško: Neumarktl) je mesto in občina v severni Sloveniji, blizu avstrijske meje. Mesto se nahaja znotraj zgodovinske regije Gorenjska. Na severu vodi cesta do prelaza Ljubelj v gorskem območju Karavank, na meji z avstrijsko deželo Koroško.
Prvo naselje z imenom Forum v Lubelinu je bilo ustanovljeno na rimski cesti, ki je vodila od starodavnega mesta Emona (današnja Ljubljana) prek prelaza Ljubelj do današnje avstrijske Koroške. Po razsežnem plazu, ki ga je povzročil potres, je bilo prvotno naselje porušeno in mnogi so se preselili dol po dolini, da bi ustanovili novo vas z imenom Neumarktl v nemščini, kjer se zdaj nahaja Tržič (ti dogodki so osnova legende o nastanku Tržiča) .
Naselje v Kranjskem vojvodstvu je od habsburškega cesarja Frederika III leta 1492 dobilo tržne pravice za tedenske sejme, kar je še dodatno spodbudilo razvoj naselja. Veliki požar leta 1811, ki je uničil zgradbe na levem bregu reke Tržiška Bistrica, je mesto zelo spremenil. Velik del arhitekture je bil rekonstruiran v klasicističnem slogu. Po obnovi stavb so morali imeti požarne zidove, železna vrata in okenska polkna, kar je v Evropi bilo redkost. Mestno jedro Tržiča je kot mesto kulturne dediščine zaščiteno že od leta 1985. Skozi stoletja je bilo mesto otok nemškega jezika.
Usnjarska, lesna in tekstilna industrija so bile v preteklosti bistvenega pomena za gospodarstvo Tržiča. Kljub temu je industrijska aktivnost upadla po razpadu Jugoslavije. Razvoj malih podjetij po tem obdobju je zdaj pomembna veja gospodarstva. Alpsko smučanje je zaradi svoje alpske okolice priljubljeno v okolici.
Znamenita oseba, ki se je rodila ali živela v Tržiču, je grofica Francisca von Strassoldo Grafenberg (1781–1854), žena avstrijskega generala Josepha Radetzkega.
Dovžanova soteska je soteska, ki jo je izdolbla hudourniška reka Tržiška Bistrica v stare zemeljske sklade. Izoblikovanana je v konglomeratih, apnencih, peščenjakih in glinovcih. V njej je največje pregradno slapišče v kremenovem konglomeratu v Sloveniji.
Reka kipi čez edinstveno slapišče velikih zaobljenih blokov belega kremenovega konglomerata. Soteska je še posebej slikovita zaradi šestih visokih kamnitih stolpov, Kušpegarjevih turnov, kjer je urejeno plezališče. Dovžanova soteska je ena izmed osrednjih točk Slovenske geološke transverzale. Skozi sotesko so speljane zanimive geološke poti, gozdna učna pot, planinska pot, razgledna pot in pot do partizanske tiskarne.
V geološkem stebru so predstavljene paleozojske kamnine Dovžanove soteske in mlajše, mezozojske kamnine njene širše okolice po časovnem zaporedju nastanka.
V manjšem naselju Čadovlje stoji stara Jamenšnikova hiša in paštba (sušilnica za lan) z letnico 1766, ki je primerek edinstvenega karavanškega stavbarstva z vsemi etnografskimi značilnostmi. Soteska je razglašena za naravni spomenik Slovenije zaradi edinstvenega nahajališča ostankov okamnelega življenja rastlin in živali v kamninah starega zemeljskega veka – paleozoika. Tu so bile prvič najdene in opisane številne vrste rizopodov. Soteska leži 3 km severno od kraja Tržič, ob cesti Tržič-Jelendol.

Tržič (CC: slovenski, hrvatski, English)
Tržič je mesto na skrajnem severu Gorenjske. Je središče občine Tržič. Leži na sotočju Tržiške Bistrice in Mošenika ob južnem vznožju Karavank. Naselje se je že v rimskih časih nahajalo poleg Ljubelja ob poti med Virunum na Gosposvetskem polju in Emono. To naselje, takrat imenovano Forum in Lubelino (dobesedno Ljubeljski trg), je zasul plaz. Prebivalci so se umaknili nižje v dolino in na mestu sedanjega Tržiča ustanovili naselje Neumarktl. Konec 15. stoletja je cesar Friderik III. na pobudo tedanjih lastnikov Tržiča (Lovrenca Paradajzarja z gradu Neuhaus in dedičev Janeza Lamberga z gradu Gutenberg) vasi podelil trške pravice in jo tako povzdignil v trg. S tem je Tržič pridobil pravico do tedenskega sejma, kar je pozitivno vplivalo na razvoj, saj je skozi Tržič vodila glavna prometna povezava med Trstom in Avstrijo. Naslednja prelomnica je bila leta 1811, ko je Tržič prizadel velik požar. Umrlo je 75 ljudi, uničenih je bilo 150 hiš in več kot 60 delavnic. Obnova mesta po požaru je potekala zelo počasi. Izdali so poseben predpis, ki je določal obvezno namestitev kovinskih vrat in polken, ki so postale prava evropska posebnost. Klasicistično izoblikovano zaporedje pročelij ter bistvo podobe pa je glavni trg ohranil vse do danes.
Dovžanova soteska, tudi Dolžanova soteska, je soteska, ki jo je izdolbla hudourniška reka Tržiška Bistrica v stare zemeljske sklade. Reka kipi čez edinstveno slapišče velikih zaobljenih blokov belega kremenovega konglomerata. Ti veliki boki so se privalili v reko z Borove peči, ta je ime dobila po rdečem boru, ki porašča njena strma pobočja. Soteska je še posebej slikovita zaradi šestih visokih kamnitih stolpov, Kušpegarjevih turnov, kjer je urejeno plezališče. Skozi sotesko je speljana zanimiva geološka pot, gozdna učna pot Dovžanova soteska, planinska pot, razgledna pot in pot do partizanske tiskarne-tehnike. V manjšem naselju Čadovlje stoji stara Jamenšnikova hiša in paštba (sušilnica za lan) z letnico 1766, ki je primerek edinstvenega karavanškega stavbarstva z vsemi etnografskimi značilnostmi. Soteska je razglašena za naravni spomenik Slovenije in leži 3 km severno od kraja Tržič, ob cesti Tržič-Jelendol. Dovžanova soteska je bila zavarovana kot naravni spomenik zaradi edinstvenega nahajališča ostankov okamnelega življenja rastlin in živali v kamninah starega zemeljskega veka – paleozoika. Tu so bile prvič najdene in opisane številne vrste ramenonožcev in velika luknjičarka (Schwagerina carniolica). Slikovito sotesko je izoblikovala Tržiška Bistrica v konglomeratih, apnencih, peščenjakih in glinovcih. V njej je največje pregradno slapišče v kremenovem konglomeratu pri nas. Ta kamnina gradi tudi Borovo peč, ki jo porašča gozd rdečega bora. (Wikipedia)
