Jesenice

Few towns in the Karavanks have a past as closely bound to ironmaking as Jesenice. Set on the Sava Dolinka beneath the Karawanks range, this Upper Carniolan town grew around ironworks whose legacy still shapes its identity. Stara Sava, the former ironworks settlement, retains industrial buildings and is the place to trace that story beyond the town centre. Jesenice is also an important railway junction: the Karawanks Tunnel carries trains beneath the mountains towards Austria. To the south, the road and rail corridors lead into the wider Upper Sava Valley, with the Julian Alps rising beyond it.
