Description of church:
Sveta Katarina is a viewpoint above Zasip village (near Bled) featuring a church from the early 17th century, a large parking area, and a catering facility.
It is located on the southern, sunny slope of the 834 m high Hom hill and represents one of the most characteristic views of the area.
From Sveta Katarina, where there are also a few benches, a fine panorama unfolds from the nearby Karawanks with Stol and Begunjščica, and the Kamnik Alps to the northeast, across the broad Ljubljana Basin in the center, to Jelovica, Pokljuka and nearby Bled with its old castle, and the Julian Alps to the southwest. Poet France Prešeren named this place the "altar of Gorenjska," as one can truly enjoy the magnificent view unfolding before the eyes from here.
