Tržič is located at the southern foot of the magnificent Karavanke Alps, at the confluence of the River Tržaška Bistrica and Mošenik Stream. It’s an excellent starting point for exploring the Karavanke Alps. From here, you can go into Austria across the Ljubelj Pass. For centuries, this pass represented a window into western Europe, where the people of Tržič sold their handicraft products. The old town centre is protected as a cultural monument.

Dovžan Gorge

An educational trail runs through the valley, and those who are skilled in climbing can enjoy a climbing route.
