Introducing Udin boršt

Due to the natural conditions of a glacier terrace made of limestone conglomerate, Udin boršt is one of the last continuous areas of lowland forests in central Slovenia. Perforated by numerous sinkholes, karst caves, and water springs, it is the best example of the so called conglomerate karst in Slovenia. For centuries farmers have been managing the forest and countryside surroundings with utmost care and their way of life can be seen in many cultural heritage buildings, local craftsmanship, traditions and holidays. Even brigands, a gang of bandits, who lived in this area mostly in the first half of the 19th century, found secret shelters in the heart of Udin boršt. Udin boršt, at the doorstep of Naklo and Kranj, offers, both locals and visitors relaxation, diverse experience of forest and agricultural landscape and a chance to discover varied country heritage.
