Behind Begunje in the Gorenjska region, the imposing ruins of Kamen Castle greet you at the entrance to the Draga Valley. The famous castle, which once guarded the old freight route across the Karavanke, will surely impress you with its size and picturesque location. In the company of a local guide, you will discover the rich history of the castle, which has been home to several noble families over the centuries. The most famous of these is the Lamberg family, whose knight, Gasper II Lamberg, was one of the most famous tournament warriors of his time. You will walk through the ruins of the castle, from the castle terraces to the top of the 12th-century lookout tower, from where you can enjoy magnificent views of the castle, the Draga valley and the Begunjščica mountain.
