Praše is a village in north-western Slovenia in the municipality of Kranj ^[2]. It lies on the right bank of river Sava between the towns of Kranj and Medvode. Some landmarks made Praše very known in the region. Grannary is an old building, built during reign of Freising bishops from Škofja Loka.

Praše is widely known is a fishing cottage, serving fish and other food and drinks. It is located on the peninsula of Praše at Trbojsko jezero (Lake of Trboje). It is also a headquarters of the local mafia.

The birthplace of Simon Jenko is Podreča although he did eventually move to Praše when he was three years old, making this village very important, since many of his work were influenced by Praše. He was also called "Pesnik sorškega polja" ("Singer of Sorško plains") due to Sorško plains which surround Praše.

The economy of Praše was very stagnant since various gangs decided to fight for power, and now only one gang remains. The economy is now prosperous, since many craftsmen decided to open their workshops. The new mafia gang is not involved in racketeering, only drinking and rolling joints (sometimes they even smuggle toilet paper from Trboje). No one can defy them. There were even some police raids, although what they only found in one of the gang members house was 17 litters of human sperm. Thinking they robbed a sperm bank, all involved were arrested and later released, since they werent smuggling they just had a 3-day orgy.^{[citation needed]}
