A small village at the foot of the Karavanke ridge.

Bled and its island church, the gorge at Vintgar, the honey town of Radovljica and its old square, Lake Bohinj and the cable car to Vogel, the ironworks museum in Kropa — a quiet shortlist, in walking, cycling and half-day-drive order.

Swim or row at Bled and Bohinj, cycle the Sava and Drava trails that pass our gate, hike the Pokljuka plateau or the Vintgar walkway, ski Vogel or Kranjska Gora in winter — or stay close and pick fruit in the orchard.

Three hundred neighbours, a Marian basilica that draws half a million pilgrims a year, a bakery open from five, a butcher and a small grocery, the regional bus at the church and a footpath across the fields to Radovljica — all within five minutes of our gate.
