Zelezniki

The landscape around Železniki is a narrow, wooded valley carved by the Selca Sora in the Škofja Loka Hills, which has shaped both the town’s linear form and its former ironworking economy. Set in Slovenia’s Upper Carniola region, the settlement grew around water-powered forges along the river. Ironmaking remains its defining historical thread, reflected in local heritage and in the town’s name, which refers to ironworkers. Roads and walking routes lead from the valley towards dispersed hamlets and forested uplands. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the Selca Valley and Upper Carniola.
