Gorje

The Cerkno Hills define the setting of Gorje — their forested slopes and winding roads link this small settlement with hillside fields and the nearby town of Cerkno. In Slovenia’s western interior, Gorje occupies a meeting ground between the Alpine world and the Primorska region, far from the country’s better-known lake and coastal routes. Cerkno is associated with Laufarija, a traditional pre-Lenten carnival whose carved wooden masks are a notable part of Slovenian folk heritage. The surrounding terrain remains rural and steep, with homes and farms distributed across ridges and valleys rather than gathered in one urban centre.
