    A nice little town with three bridges. Worth a detour.

      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.
