Kamnik & Velika Planina

Kamnik's identity is deeply defined by its rich industrial and artisanal heritage, which transformed it into a thriving economic hub. Before exploring the town's architectural wonders, we encounter the legacy of the Majolka — the iconic, hand-painted ceramic wine vessel that serves as a testament to the region's centuries-old pottery guild and refined hospitality. This tradition of excellence continues through the historic Stele Candle Workshop, where craftsmanship meets the genius of Jože Plečnik. The visionary architect collaborated with the Stele family to elevate candle-making into a modernist craft. Nearby, we also admire Plečnik's Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre (Božji grob), a profound architectural masterpiece of sacred symbolism.

A scenic private drive takes us to the tranquil Kamniška Bistrica valley, a site of profound natural beauty and historical seclusion. We visit the crystal-clear source of the river, an environment favored by European royalty. This is evidenced by the elegant hunting lodge commissioned by King Alexander I of Yugoslavia — an architectural masterpiece designed by Jože Plečnik, where his minimalist philosophy perfectly mirrors the surrounding wilderness. The journey continues with a cable car ascent to Velika Planina, one of Europe's most unique and preserved high-mountain herdsmen's settlements, offering panoramic views and iconic shingle-roofed architecture.

Extend Your Alpine Escape: For those seeking a deeper connection with the mountains, we offer an exclusive opportunity to extend your stay with an overnight in a high-alpine shepherd's hut, masterfully redesigned to offer modern comfort while preserving its traditional character. Wake up to the sound of cowbells and a pristine sunrise above the clouds. Contact us for availability and pricing.
