Kranjska Gora: R1-202, Rateče - Podkoren, Rateče
Tucked between the Julian Alps and the Karawanks, Kranjska Gora’s settlement of Rateče is a place whose character is shaped by its position at the head of the Upper Sava valley, close to the Italian border. Meadows, scattered farmhouses and forested slopes surround this compact Alpine community, where roads meet for links towards Italy and the wider valley. Nearby, the Zelenci Nature Reserve protects the spring that forms the Sava Dolinka, one of the Sava’s headwaters. The Planica valley, immediately southeast of Rateče, is Slovenia’s internationally known centre for Nordic skiing and ski flying; its Nordic Centre continues a sporting tradition associated with the valley. Rateče combines a working borderland settlement with access to the mountain terrain of northwestern Slovenia.
