With its countless trails, Udin Forest (Udin Boršt) is an excellent choice for a retreat into nature and the countryside. It stretches across a vast area between Kranj, Tržič, and Naklo and is criss-crossed by numerous trails..
The hills, water bodies, and forests that surround Kranj and its surroundings offer us an excellent opportunity to spend more of our time surrounded by nature.
Spending time in nature can, among other things, help us improve our physical well-being, strengthen our immune system, improve our mental health, reduce stress and improve sleep.

Turn off your phone and turn on your mindfulness
Nature offers a rich sensory and calming environment that helps us improve our attention, memory and overall cognitive ability, while reducing mental fatigue. To get the most out of your trips into nature, we recommend leaving your phone in your pocket or backpack and turning off the sound.
Instead of focusing on your phone, direct all your attention and senses toward mindfully observing plants, trees, caves, karst sinkholes and animals. Breathe deeply and calmly and observe your thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions.
Respect nature and do not disturb it
Let’s make sure that our presence does not disturb the unique animal and plant world around us.
→ Speak quietly and minimize noise.
→ Take your trash with you and dispose of it in trash cans.
→ Do not stray from forest trails and cart tracks.
→ Respect nature and its inhabitants; do not disturb them or destroy their homes.
