About the sun in Kranj
Kranj lies on a terrace above the Sava river at the foot of the Kamnik–Savinja and Karavanke Alps. On clear evenings the setting sun lights the northern mountains from the side, and in summer, when it sets in the north-west, the peaks can glow long after the town is in shade. In winter the sun stays low over the southern horizon, where the Ljubljana basin opens up.
