Velika planina

The landscape is also shaped by numerous karst features such as sinkholes and depressions, while a network of hiking trails offers wonderful views of the surrounding peaks.

From there you can continue on foot (about 30 minutes) or by chairlift to the highest point, Gradišče, which offers stunning views of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps.
