Kranjska Gora
Few places in Upper Carniola have a history as closely tied to the crossing between Carniola and Carinthia as Korensko sedlo. Also known as the Wurzenpass, this Karawanks crossing links the Slovenian settlement of Podkoren, near Kranjska Gora, with Austria’s Carinthia. The pass lies on the northern edge of the Sava Dolinka valley amid forested mountain slopes, close to the tripoint area of Slovenia, Austria and Italy. It has long served as a route between the two Alpine regions, giving the small border settlement a practical role. Nearby Kranjska Gora is a major Slovenian winter-sports centre, while Podkoren hosts Alpine Ski World Cup races.
