HOSPITALITY

This town holds the twin titles of best kept and the most hospitable place in Slovenia, and is situated immediately below the popular Krvavec ski centre. It is about 30 km from Ljubljana - the capital of Slovenia - and only 12 km from Kranj - the centre of the Gorenjska region - and in the vicinity of the central Jože Pučnik Ljubljana airport.

Thus, you may visit Cerklje in passing, though there are plenty of reasons to plan a special visit. It has a typical village centre with a Baroque church, and the local specialities and hospitality are a promise of a good time. Further reasons to visit Cerklje, are important meetings held there, a visit to the Strmol Castle and the delights at Dvor Jezeršek, the centre of Slovenian culinary arts.

Krvavec

In winter, this recreational and tourist centre is an excellent ski resort, closest to the Slovenian capital, whilst in summer it provides a number of possibilities for hikers and bikers. You can take a trip to the Marija Snežna Chapel designed by the famous architect Jože Plečnik.
