About Kranjska Gora & Lake Jasna
In the Julian Alps, Slovenia’s highest and most extensive mountain group, Kranjska Gora is a year-round sports resort: alpine ski races in winter, hiking and cycling in summer. Just outside the village, Lake Jasna sits at the foot of the first bends of the road to Vršič, two linked lakes where the Velika and Mala Pišnica streams meet, mirroring the peaks. Nearby, the Zelenci reserve near Podkoren is a small spring-fed lake of blue-green water, and the Planica Nordic Centre is where ski jumpers chase records. The village sits close to the Austrian and Italian borders.
