Velika planina is a high mountain plateau above Kamnik at around 1,500 metres above sea level; its highest peak, Gradišče, reaches 1,666 metres. It is known for its herdsmen's settlement, one of the few preserved settlements of this size in Europe, with huts roofed in spruce shingles. At the Preskar Museum you can learn about the herdsmen's way of life and the traditional making of trnič cheese. You can reach the plateau by cable car from Kamniška Bistrica or climb up on foot; in winter it is popular with skiers and sledgers. Look for accommodation, mountain huts and experiences in Kamnik.
