Heart Of Slovenia

Stari Grad

  Kamnik     more than a year ago
Kamnik has a ‘Little Castle’, which surely hints at the existence of another castle, right? Sitting atop Bergantova gora are the remains of the Stari Grad (Old Castle), a 13th century strategic palace built by the Counts of Andechs. It happens to be one of the oldest castles in Upper Carnolia. In 1511 it was badly damaged by an earthquake however, and has been in irreparable decline ever since. To reach it, head on a 30-minute walk out of the city up Maistrova ulica and you’ll reach some of the finest panoramic views in all of Slovenia.
