Kranj is a picturesque historic town above the confluence of two alpine rivers – the Sava and the Kokra. Due to its geographical position – on the junction of important routes, leading from the Northern Europe to the Adriatic Sea and from the Western Europe towards the Eastern Europe – Kranj is also a strong commercial centre. Being the fourth biggest city in Slovenia, Kranj is the industrial, employment, traffic, educational, cultural and sports centre of Gorenjska.
In close proximity to Radovljica, the village of Ljubno was once an extremely important centre of pottery. Although the craft died out in the 20th century, living memories of its 'Ljubno bowl' still remain.
