Sts. Primus and Felician Church, Medieval church in Jamnik, Slovenia

The Saint Primus and Felician Church stands at 831 meters elevation on a grassy ridge between Kropa and Podblica in northern Slovenia.

The village and church first appeared in written records in 1501, with the Gothic presbytery containing preserved frescoes from the 15th century.

During religious celebrations, the church brings together local communities from the surrounding villages in the Municipality of Kranj for traditional ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the church through marked hiking trails from different directions, with the average walking time being approximately 50 minutes.

The church location served as a strategic point during Turkish invasions, where bonfires were lit to warn nearby settlements of approaching danger.

Visit Slovenia: Alpine lakes, karst caves, and medieval castles

Slovenia covers some 7,800 square miles (20,000 square kilometers) between the Alps and the Adriatic, offering a concentration of different landscapes from the Julian Alps to the coast. The karst caves of Postojna and Škocjan rank among Europe's most extensive underground systems, while lakes such as Bled and Bohinj sit in glacial valleys. Medieval fortifications like Predjama Castle, built into a cliff face, and Ljubljana Old Town with its preserved architecture document the region's history. Triglav National Park encompasses Slovenia's highest mountain range and provides hiking routes through valleys like Soča, passes such as Vršič, and plateaus including Velika Planina. The Adriatic coastal town of Piran preserves Venetian architecture, while smaller places like Ptuj show Roman and medieval remains. Waterfalls such as Savica and Peričnik, springs like Zelenci, and gorges including Vintgar and Tolmin demonstrate the variety of Slovenian natural landscapes between mountains and Mediterranean.
