The place itself developed from a rural mountain village into one of Slovenia\u2019s best-known winter sports centres, yet its true character lies in the combination of Alpine wilderness and the quiet, multilingual heritage of a border region in which Slovenian, Austrian and Italian influences meet.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the village the famous Vr\u0161i\u010d road climbs in more than fifty hairpin bends over the country\u2019s highest pass, southwards into the So\u010da valley. This road tells a moving story: it was built during the First World War by Russian prisoners of war under the harshest conditions, many of whom lost their lives in an avalanche, and a small wooden Russian chapel by the roadside still commemorates them today. Not far from Kranjska Gora the emerald-green So\u010da also rises, the river whose valley became the bloody Isonzo front in the First World War. In more recent times the place has become known for its Alpine ski races and for the nearby ski-flying centre of Planica, where world records in ski flying have been set. So in Kranjska Gora the splendour of the mountains mingles with the quiet memory of the horrors of history.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kranjska Gora im Nordwesten Sloweniens ist der bekannteste Wintersportort des Landes und Austragungsort von alpinen Skiweltcup-Rennen am Vitranc.
