Municipality of Kranjska Gora, Administrative municipality in Julian Alps, Slovenia.
The municipality of Kranjska Gora extends across 256 square kilometers of alpine terrain, encompassing multiple settlements along the Sava Dolinka River.
Written records from 1326 document the establishment of Kranjska Gora under different names including Chrainow, Cranaw, and Kraynaw in the Upper Carniola region.
The municipality preserves regional traditions through the preparation of dovški krapi, a local dish that represents the culinary heritage of Upper Carniola.
Multiple ski lifts operate throughout winter months on Mount Vitranc, while summer activities focus on hiking trails and mountain biking paths.
Russian prisoners of war constructed a wooden chapel above the municipality during World War I to commemorate their comrades lost in an avalanche.
