A wonderful world of shepherds, pasture traditions, local cuisine and beautiful nature, sports activities, day trips and much more. Velika planina is worth a visit at any time of the year. It is accessible by variously steep, variously demanding and variously long paths. There is a suitable path for everyone. If you do not want to walk, you can take the gondola from the valley of Kamniška bistrica and on to the top with a chairlift.
