You can't visit Kranjska Gora and not take a stroll to Lake Jasna, which is just outside of town (around 20 minutes on foot). It's known for its clear, emerald-green waters set amongst beautiful mountains. The lake isn't too large so it's easy to walk around and there are small piers in various sections so you can admire the clear waters. You'll also find a few restaurants and cafés near the lake where you can sit and take in the view.

Around four kilometres outside of Kranjska Gora you'll find Zelenci Nature Park, a wetland area with a small emerald green lake with crystal clear waters that never freeze - even in winter. There's a small boardwalk you can use to access the lake and you'll be in awe of the surroundings with the dramatic peaks of the Julian Alps reflected in the water - head to the small observatory for fantastic views and information on the park.

The mountains surrounding Kranjska Gora provide excellent cycling opportunities, offering a range of routes to suit all skill levels. With 15 routes detailed in the Kranjska Gora walking and cycling map, you can enjoy a new adventure every day. The routes are generally quite challenging, but you'll be rewarded with fantastic views. We also love the scenic ride along the family cycle path from Jesenice to Tarvision in Italy, perfect for a day trip to another country if you're up for that adventure. You can rent bikes or E-bikes in resort.
