One of those, a bit forgotten, places is hippodrome, a few kilometers from the centre. It can be easily reached by all means of transportation, among others it is also really easy to get there with public transport.

There is also a bar, but what I prefer is to sit on the stands of the hippodrome watching people training with horses. The view over the track is just the beginning, behind it there is a beautiful panoramic view over Kamnik – Savinja Alps still not covered with snow.

This is also the place where really big events are being held, like the mass by Pope John Paul II in 1996. In August 2009 we were expecting Madonna to perform here, but unfortunately the show was canceled.

As morbid as it can sounds this cemetery is actually a really nice place to visit. I bet that more than half of the natives haven’t even been here so you might find this as a challenge.

Built just before Second World War architect Plecnik had the idea to create a monumental shrine housing tombs of the most deserving Slovenians, also called a Slovenian pantheon, was given the name Navje, derived from Slavic mythology. It consists of an open arcaded classical building rebuilt from an old pavilion and a surrounding memorial park.

Just behind the main train and bus station this calming and relaxing place invites you to go for a short stroll between the tombs.

Winter time has just already started and it is valid till end of April.
