Podkoren
Podkoren (, ) is a village in the Municipality of Kranjska Gora, in the northwestern Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Geography Podkoren is located directly beneath the Wurzen Pass ("Koren" in Slovene), which lends its name to the settlement ("below Koren"). It is technically the first settlement of the Upper Sava Valley; the Zelenci nature reserve, the source of the Sava, is located just west of the village. The village contains a roundabout where the Podkoren / Wurzen Pass road (spanning the Karawanks to the Austrian state of Carinthia) branches off from an extension of the A2 motorway (leading from the Ljubljana Basin to the Italian border.) Dairy farming having declined, the economy of modern Podkoren is now heavily dependent on tourism; several popular ski pistes are located on the slopes of the Karawanks, directly above the settlement. History From the 15th century, Podkoren—in the far northwest of the Duchy of Carniola—served as a toll station on the steep r ...
