Loški Castle, built in the 14th century, is located at an altitude of 378 m. An entrance fee is required to visit. The castle is well-maintained and accessible by bicycle, on foot or by car.

In the Grajski Park next to the castle there is a small open-air museum. For 1€ you can see an old farmhouse and a small mill - nice 👍.

The Church of the Holy Cross is located on Križna Gora, the only one northwest of Škofja Loka. From the church and its surroundings, there is a beautiful view of the Škofjeloška hills and part of the Kamniški Alps. There is also a hunting lodge near the church, which is open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

A beautiful little church from the 15th century.

Very nice little town.

Edit In 973 Emperor Otto II granted Škofja Loka dominion to the bishops of Freising, and for the next thousand years the town's history was intertwined with that of the distant ecclesiastical principality. [8] [9] A castle and tower were built over the city for defensive purposes, which later became the residence of the episcopal governor. In the 11th or 12th century. Emperor Otto III. gave the bishops the right to mint coins and levy duties. Škofja Loka was first mentioned in 1248 as a town with market rights and in 1274 with town rights.

Definitely take a look from the inside, gigantic vault and great Christian relics ⛪

It is the historical counterpart to the neighboring bridge, which does not look bad in a noble modern steel construction 🤗
