Srednja Dobrava
Spend a half‑day (4–5 h) exploring the war monument, nearby viewpoints and a short hike; stay only if you need a base for nearby trails.
Srednja Dobrava is a tiny Alpine‑plain village (pop. ≈130) offering WWII memorials, easy walks to Stovc and Ojstra peč viewpoints, and access to cycling and hiking routes. It is best visited as a stop on a day‑trip from Bled or Kropa rather than a base.
