Kranjska Gora

People from the Gorenjska region, the mountainous northwest corner of Slovenia, are known as being the most frugal Slovenes, to put it politely. It isn’t hard to believe, though, since life has always been a struggle in the harsh winters of the rugged mountains. While not considered very outgoing or extroverted, the locals will warm up to you once you’ve won them over. One way you can do that is by showing them your prowess on the slopes or by enjoying a shot of a local’s homemade schnapps. Remember to always look people in the eyes when saying “Na zdravje!”

The region is, not surprisingly, famous for its skiing and other winter sports. People from the area are often excellent skiers, as parents have their kids racing down the toughest runs as soon as they learn how to walk. Slovenia’s professional skiers have enjoyed a significant amount of success in World Cup and Olympic competitions and most of them hail from Gorenjska. The Vitranc World Cup event, held every winter in Kranjska Gora, and the annual ski flying event in nearby Planica bring thousands of spectators to the tiny resort, turning it into the party capital of Slovenia, at least for a weekend or two.

Traditional food in the region is hearty, Austrian-style fare. Sausages and thick slabs of pork are usually served with sauerkraut and potatoes with pancakes or apple strudel for dessert. In order to brace yourself before heading out into the cold, it isn’t unusual to have a strong drink to finish off your meal. For the true Gorenjska experience, try the blueberry brandy locals call borovničevec.
