One of the smallest municipalities featured within this guide, Dol pri Ljubljani comprises almost some 20 villages in an area of immense greenery, wonderful cycling and influential mathematicians. Its position near the confluence of three rivers (the Sava, the Kamniška Bistrica and the Ljubljanica) made it vital on trade routes back in the day, with the Sava being the most influential waterway for this small area.It is most famous for the manor in Dol itself, built in the 16th century and blossomed in the 19th in the care of Jožef Erberg. Now only the pavilions stand of the former ‘Versailles of Carniola’.

Almost all of the villages have something to offer the prospective tourist, whether it is the aforementioned pavilions in Dol, the gostilnas of Dolsko, the life of prominent mathematician Jurij Vrga in Zagorica, castles and churches all around or just the wonderful walks amongst fabulous scenery. If that isn’t relaxing enough, then get yourself a fishing permit and fish on the confluence of the three big rivers, live the life that summer was made for.
