Rateče

Few settlements in the Karavanks have a history as closely tied to the borderland between Slovenia, Italy and Austria as Rateče. This Upper Carniolan village lies beside the Sava Dolinka valley, near the wetlands of Zelenci Nature Reserve, where the river rises from clear springs. The Planica Valley extends south into the Julian Alps and is internationally associated with ski jumping and ski flying; the Nordic Centre Planica continues that sporting tradition. Rateče retains the character of a mountain settlement on a national frontier, surrounded by meadows, forest and high Alpine terrain.
