About location

Among the places of Slovenia’s Kamnik–Savinja Alps region, Tržič stands out for its long association with trade across the Karawanks. The town lies where the Tržiška Bistrica and Mošenik meet, beneath routes leading towards the Ljubelj Pass on the Austrian border. Its medieval market settlement developed on a road between the Adriatic world and central Europe, and Tržič received market rights in the 15th century. Rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1811, the old centre retains closely grouped houses, covered corridors and firewalls. The Tržič Museum traces local crafts and industry, including shoemaking, while the surrounding valleys connect Upper Carniola with the Karawanks.
