Jesenice

At the beginning of a narrow valley, where Mežakla meets Karavanke, grew the city Jesenice, a working, iron, hockey, border town and municipal center. The formation of Jesenice is connected with the development of ironworks along the Sava River. The development of mines, blast furnaces and ironworks in Jesenice began with the end of the 14th century. In more recent times, since Jesenice started turning from predominantly industrial city into an increasingly developed tourist area, the town and its surrounding villages, mountains, hills, rivers, slopes and forest paths started to attracted increasing numbers of visitors.
Today, the municipality is the administrative center for the Upper Sava Valley and can boast with good transport and other infrastructure, many sports, cultural, artistic and other associations, general hospital with a maternity wing, health center, theater, cinema, library and several schools. The municipality also has several shopping centers and industrial zones.
Visit the city of steel and daffodils, where urban industrial scene really is only a step away from blooming hills and mountains above the town. After seeing the technical monument Stara Sava, a former ironworks settlement, and learn about the history of the mining industry in the Gornjesavski museum, go on virgin white plains of Golica in bloom - a natural habitat of daffodils, or to Pristava with the Zois park - more than a hundred years old first botanical garden area Slovenia.
