Velika Planina Slovenia - 5,000 feet (1,524 meters)

Located in the mountaintop pasture of the Slovenia mountains known as the Kamnik Slovenian Alps not far from south Styria in Austria, Velika Planina is an important part of Slovenian culture. In keeping with their cultural heritage, every June through September local herders march their cows up over 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) from the valley below to the big pasture plateau to graze for the summer.
