Radovljica

Another 21 km and 17 minutes from Kranj is the town of Radovljica.


The main street is pedestrian only. The main tourist attraction is a beekeeping museum.


Monument with student holding a medallion image of Josipina Hocevar, who funded the city's water system.


St. Peter's Church at the edge of town


Near the church, buried into a hillside, is an old WW II bunker. It is now a memorial to Edith Stein, a Polish Jew who was executed at Auschwitz. She was made a saint by Pope John Paul II. She has no ties to Radovlijica but the locals were inspired by her example.
