Podnart: Lipnica Valley, Sava and Local History

In the area around Podnart, the Lipnica Castle Natural Science Trail connects the Lipnica Valley with Radovljica. In the regional surroundings of Podnart, the Lipnica Valley is designated as a protected area of cultural heritage in open space.

Also in the regional surroundings, the Lipnica Valley offers opportunities for quiet walks in nature and cycling tours with climbs to Jelovica. The landscape connections therefore differ in their form: the trail creates a connection between the two named areas, while walks and cycling tours describe independent forms of movement in the valley and towards Jelovica. This provides various forms of movement for planning your own day: quiet walks in nature, cycling tours with climbs and a connection between the Lipnica Valley and Radovljica. The information on landscape, cultural heritage and activities can be weighted separately, depending on whether the focus is on experiencing nature, exercise or regional context.

The brick railway station building in Podnart dates from 1870. The station is located north of the bridge over the Sava on the road from Kranj to Kropa. During rail replacement services, the Podnart stop is located next to the railway station.

The station complex also includes a brick water tower and a residential building for unmarried railway workers; both have been preserved. Hiša Podnart 26 is a monument of local significance; the house was built in 1928 as an inn with an ancillary farm building. The building Hiša Podnart 27 serves as a hunting lodge.

Culture in Podnart can be understood through dated events and a local holiday. On 22 March 2025, the concert “Vrača se pomlad” by the groups Orion and Artistik took place at Kulturni dom Podnart.

On 11 January 2025, the improvisational theatre performance “Smešn´ga pa zdrav´ga” by KUD KIKS was scheduled at Kulturni dom Podnart. The concert and improvisational theatre thus stand alongside each other as different forms of events with their own dates and participating groups.

The local holiday in Podnart is celebrated on 19 October; it commemorates the birthday of Josip Pogačnik, who came from Podnart and was the president of the first Slovenian national government.

For travellers considering accommodation in Podnart, travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions form three separate points of comparison. Depending on the travel plans, they can be weighted differently and complement the local information with an objective, budget-conscious perspective for making your own decision. Comparing these details in particular helps keep cost planning separate from interests in the natural and cultural features of the town.
