Kranjska Gora: R1-201, Dovje - Mojstrana - Kraje, Dovje
Few places in Upper Carniola are as closely bound to the history of Slovenian mountaineering as Dovje. The settlement occupies slopes above the Sava Dolinka, with the Karawanks rising behind it and the Julian Alps across the valley. From 1889 to 1927, the parish priest here was Jakob Aljaž, whose work helped make Triglav a lasting symbol of Slovenian identity. In 1895, after buying a plot on Triglav’s summit, he had the small metal Aljaž Tower erected there. Dovje is part of the Municipality of Kranjska Gora and lies near Mojstrana, where the alpine valley narrows towards the high mountains.
