Vrhnika

Vrhnika sits beside the Ljubljanica River in central Slovenia, where karst springs feed the waterway at the edge of the Ljubljana Marshes. The town is closely associated with Ivan Cankar, one of Slovenia’s leading modern writers, who was born here in 1876; his birthplace is preserved as the Cankar Memorial House. In Roman times, Vrhnika was known as Nauportus, a settlement linked to trade routes between the Adriatic and the Danube basin. Paths around the Močilnik springs and nearby wetlands trace the meeting of limestone country, lowland marshes and a lived-in Slovenian town.
