Three Country Border

The summit of Pec (1510 metres) above Ratece is the spot where the borders of the three neighbouring countries Slovenia, Italy and Austria meet. It is also the meeting point of three cultures: Slavonic, Romanic and Germanic. Each year the summit of Pec is the meeting place of the three peoples and it is here that the plan to mount a joint Olympic bid by three separate nations was born.

Ajdovska Deklica

Ajdovska deklica is the rock face of a maiden that found its own special place in folk fable. Legend has it that the Ajdovska maidens foretold the people of Kranjska Gora their fortune at birth. They also advised the people when to sow their crops and when to harvest them. One of the maidens foretold the son of a hunter that he would kill the Goldenhorn which inhabited the surrounding mountains. This prophecy angered the other maidens who punished Ajdovska deklica by turning her into rock.

Prisank Mountain Window

The large window that nature carved in the face of the Prisank mountain is the best-known in Slovenia. It is a staggering 80 metres tall and 40 metres wide. Its tattered rock cliffs and the large mound of scree below indicate that sometime in history, the rock was punctured at a weak joint causing a landslide that, through rock-deterioration and weathering, grew to its present day size. Which is the correct name, Prisank or Prisojnik? This is a dilemma that has been going on for more than a century. Both names mean the same in the Slovenian language and the name of the mountain indicates that its slopes are positioned to face the Sun.
