You can also walk over to Mala planina (Small Alp), where you find serviced mountain huts which also offer food and sleep possibilities (names and contact information in sleep section, please verify whether they are open before relying on them!)

Cerkev Marijinega brezmadežnega spočetja (church of Mary's immaculate reception)

This church replaced a church standing at the same place since 1207; after a fire and several earthquakes, this church was built in 1734.

Jelovšek and K. von Goldenstein, the oil paintings are created by Valentin Metzinger. During Christmas time, a nativity scene is on display.

Cerkev sv. Benedikta

It has served as a church since the 13th century, and was completely rebuilt in the 19th century. It was used as a fortified seat of the German military during World War II, and then rebuilt as a church by architect Majda Neřima and her teacher, famous architect Jože Plečnik (and is counted among the latter's most important oeuvres made after the war). Especially recognized by public: the sacristy.

Cerkev sv. Jakoba in frančiškanski samostan (St. Jacob's church and Franciscan monastery)

First mentioned in 1423, the original St. Jacob's church has probably been dedicated in the high medieval age; the current buildings date back to the late 17th century when Jakob Schell ordered to build a Franciscan church and monastery. It has been built in the Italian baroque style, the works have finished 1703, although the building has only been santified in 1730.

Kamniško sedlo

This saddle at the very northern end of the municipality offers a great view both to the South and to the North.

Mekinje Ursuline monastery

First mentioned as early as 1143, this former Ursuline monastery has now been transferred to the municipality, the rich cultural heritage staying in place.
