Main Square of Kranj (German Krainburg) This square is the heart of the old town. Town houses with beautiful portals stand around it. The current image of the town centre was created in the 16th and 17th centuries, when bourgeois architecture reached its aesthetic peak. The fountain in the northern part of the square is a reconstruction of the fountain from 1837 and it stands in the same place as the first fountain from the 16th century.

An obvious objective from Kranj, Šmarjetna gora's wooded flanks rise steeply from the banks of the great River Sava in the Upper Carniola. It's named after the pretty church that crowns its summit, Sveta Marjeta (Saint Margaret). The top is also home to Hotel Bellevue, which serves food and drink. The views are splendid, with a mixture of flat pastures, rolling, wooded hills and the distant peaks of the Julian and Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

A conspicuous sight above Kranj, Sveti Jošt is a popular objective. Named for the church that sits proud upon its summit, the hill is also home to a restaurant and other buildings. Myriad trails ascend to the top, which rewards with excellent views across the Upper Carniola region towards the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
