Planica 

The valley of ski flying hills

The alpine valley of Planica is situated only seven kilometers from Kranjska Gora, at the very border with Italy. Together with the neighboring village of Ratece, the valley of Planica has only 650 inhabitants, but it is, nevertheless, well known throughout the world. Already before the war the construction of ski-jumps had begun in the area between Planica and the deepest end of Tamar, below the two thousand-meter high Ponce Mountains.
