The
Big Pasture Plateau(
Slovene:
Velika planinais a
karstified mountain plateau in the
Kamnik–Savinja Alps northeast of
Kamnik,
Slovenia. It measures 5.8 square kilometres (2.2 square miles) and has an average elevation of 1,500 metres (4,900 feet) above
sea level. , where the best preserved herdsmen settlement in Europe is located. The fastest and most common access is by cable car from Kamniska Bistrica, where parking is located. When you arrive at the top, it is possible to us a chair lift that will convey you to the Gradisce. A little further on, one can see the wonderful view of the herdsman settlement. On the other side are the high mountain peaks of Grintavec, Skuta, Brana, Ojstrica, Planjava, Lucka Baba, and Kamnik saddle. There are about 140 cottages on the plateau, all designed by the architect Vlast Kopac. Rich alpine flora and grassy slopes, Carst sinkholes, larches and pine trees create a fairytale landscape, perfect for an all-day trip.
I choose the way through the forest to Gojska planina followed by a pleasant circular path by the numerous herders' dwellings that comprise several settlement areas:
Velika Planina 'Big Pasture',
Mala Planina 'Little Pasture',
Gojška Planina 'Gozd Pasture' (named for the village of
Gozd[4]),
Tiha Dolina 'Quiet Valley', and others. The Big Pasture Plateau is a tourist destination both in winter as a ski resort and in summer as a place for relaxation.
