When people think of Slovenia, they often picture Ljubljana or the famous Lake Bled. But just beyond the tourist trail lies Tržič. This town 'Tr-zj-itsj' is a small alpine town full of surprises. Peaceful, authentic, and surrounded by nature.
If you're looking to truly escape the crowds, this is your place. And if you're staying at the stylish Green Heart Suites, you're already off to a great start.
Walk through millions of years of history
Just five minutes from the Tržič town center, you’ll find the Dovžan Gorge. It’s a short, one-kilometer trail. A trail that takes you through millions of years of Earth's history. On your walk you’ll pass dramatic rock formations full of fossils. You'll cross small bridges, and even walk through a tunnel.
There are signs along the way explaining what you see, but honestly: it’s best to just look around and soak it all in.
Spring is especially magical, when the water roars through the gorge and the leafs are fresh and green. But also autumn is magical, with nature in Indian summer colors.
Tržič
"A hidden gem in the green heart of Slovenia"
A town with character
Tržič is small but full of charm. In the old town center, you’ll find classic facades, narrow alleys, and quiet squares. It feels real,and it is! Not polished for tourists, but lived-in and full of character. Be sure to stop by the local museum, housed in an old leather workshop. It tells the story of Tržič’s shoemaking past, once the town’s most important trade.
Mountains, forests and endless views
Tržič lies at the foot of the Karawanks – a stunning mountain range on the border with Austria. From the town, it’s a quick drive to hiking trails that take you high into the mountains. One favorite route starts at Ljubeljtunnel and climbs up to the old border passing "Stari Ljubelj". It’s a tough hike, going up 300m , but the views at the top are more than worth it. Love biking? There are mountain bike trails in this aera for every level.
Local vibes and traditions
Tržič may be quiet, but it’s full of life. In summer, local farmers sell handmade cheeses and cured meats at small markets. Winter brings low-key ski events. And then there’s the annual Dragon Carnival. This colorful celebration is inspired by an old mountain legend. Local men drag in a specal tree into town, accompanied with some acting. Fun to see. And plenty of local food, beers and fun. It’s the perfect way to get a taste of Slovenian traditions.
The perfect base to explore Slovenia
Another big plus: everything is close. In just 30 minutes, you can be standing by the magical Lake Bled. Ljubljana is also within 35 minutes reach. And if you’re flying in, the airport is only 20 minutes away. That makes Tržič an ideal base for your Slovenian adventure. It's close to everything, but far from the crowds.
