The pretty medieval town of Kamnik is overlooked by a wooded hill topped by the ruins of the Stari Grad castle. There are unforgettable views of the distant mountains from here. In town, Mali Grad is a stone castle with a tower topped by an onion dome. The site sits in the foothills of Vivodnik (35 minutes’ drive), a forested peak in the middle of the Menina Planina plateau. A hike around these parts takes you past caves, curious cows grazing on alpine pastures, observation points like Biba Planina, and the diminutive, wooden Kapela Sv. Antona chapel. With its Baroque architecture, Ljubljana (50 minutes) is well worth a visit. Stop at Mestni trg, a pretty cobbled square centred on the Robbov vodnjak fountain, then take the funicular up to Ljubljana Castle, on a green hill with views of the city and the river.
