This two-day route helps you make the most of every hour with a trip north. Beginning in Kmani, you'll discover the atmosphere of the small town before checking out one of the most well-curated gardens in Europe. Two castles within Kamnik are well worth a visit too, and on the first day, you'll get to explore both of them and discover the treasures they both have to offer.
