Velika Planina

Velika Planina

Velika Planina is one of the most impressive high pastures in Europe and is a highlight of any cabrio tour through the Kamnik Alps. Located at an altitude of about 1,600 meters, it offers a breathtaking plateau with traditional shepherd huts, gentle meadows, and a 360° panorama that can perfectly combine with a delightful drive. The approach via the winding cabrio route through the green valleys already presents impressive views and pure driving pleasure – a true delight on any cabrio route.

Experience Tradition the Slovenian Way

Velika Planina is more than just a scenic gem – here, Slovenia's alpine life is still alive. In the summer months, cows graze on the lush meadows, and shepherds offer homemade cheese and buttermilk. The typical wooden round huts characterize the landscape of the plateau and make the place so special. Perfect for a relaxed break during your cabrio road trip, where you can enjoy the fresh mountain air and simple life.

Active and Cozy Adventures

Whether you explore the pasture on foot or simply enjoy the view: Velika Planina offers variety in the midst of unspoiled nature. Photographers and those seeking peace will also find plenty to enjoy here. And after your visit, there’s the continuation of your journey through the Kamnik Alps – a true highlight of your cabrio travel. The short detour to the cable car station at Kamniška Bistrica is particularly worthwhile, as it conveniently takes you up to the plateau – or you can take the scenic route via the panoramic roads.
