    BIG JOKE ! Visitor center says "Guided tour"; it's more a reading tour or I will say just a walking tour in tunnels... If you don't speak slovenian, don't come! The tour lasted 1hour and was useless ! The guide just spoke slovenian with the 4 slovenian people that were in the group. The other 9 people just followed as the guide didn't speak english and couldn't care less about us... We never even saw the famous tunnel that splits into 2 ! And of course, the visitor center was closed when we came back! Anyway waste of time and money !

    They said the tour was in English... but it wasn't. This was especially annoying as we asked twice when we bought the tickets if the tour was in English. The 20 or so international tourists who, unsurpringsly, never got the chance to learn Slovenian at school, were left to trundle through a dark tunnel, which, without the accompanying information, was simply that: a dark tunnel. Conveniently for their office, they close 5 minutes before the tour finishes, so any complaints find their way into a brick wall.

    Certainly one of the highlights in Kranj. The visit is only possible with a guided tour, which you can meet at the tourist information office. The tour is very interesting and informative about the wildlife that has settled in the tunnels. A small highlight is the air raid alarm. We had fun on the tour and the guide was very cool.

    We were so far twice in the tunnels, once during a wine festival and once as part of a guided tour. For the wine festival we were left on our own to find the entrance and walk through the tunnels, which was a great event. For the guided tour, the guide met us at the tourist office. We were a mixed group and the guide explained in English and Slovenian. The tour was very informative and interesting. I would recommend both occasions that we were in the tunnels!

    Kranj underground tunnels can be seen only with touristic guide from the local tourist office. 1300m of tunnels built mostly in 1944 offer exhibits and air raid simulation, but often house various events. Ticket costs €3 and the tour takes around 1 hour.

    We had a very nice local guide that spoke English very well. The tour is very informative. I would not recommend it for young children. Very interesting. Be advised that if the tour is bilingual it takes much longer, as there is much more talking than walking. Best book in advance.

    So-called catacombs were ordered and the building itself was managed by a German officer named Sitler (he was as far as my info goes, the chief of the railway station). Probably he got his way because of similarity to Hitler's surname... Anyway, he wanted to build a shelter for the workers of the railway station so they hired local constructor workers and they worked on the tunnels all to the capitulation of Germany. After the war works continued but it can be seen where German work has ended and more sloppy work was done after the war. These tunnels were closed and forgotten for a long time, somebody once even wanted to grow mushrooms inside, so only recently have they been re-opened for public. Sadly, much about this place is forgotten. I know a few bits about it because my grandfather was one of the workers in there ...

    Very interesting trip inside the city tunnels and their wonderful story from Ww2 to actual days told by a kind and prepared guide!

👍👍 Beautiful small church surrounded by mountains and up a hill. There are tables and benches to sit at and horses. The church wasn’t open. We were able to park the car on a dirt road and walk about 10 minutes to get there. Definitely recommend visiting this church.
