Ziri

Built around the confluence of the Poljanska Sora and Račeva Creek, Žiri grew into a small Slovenian town shaped by shoemaking and bobbin-lace making. It lies in the Žiri Basin amid the wooded uplands of Upper Carniola, where the Poljanska Sora continues toward the historic town of Škofja Loka. Žiri lace remains an important local craft, kept alive by skilled makers and celebrated during the town’s annual lace event. The surrounding area also preserves parts of the Rupnik Line, an interwar Yugoslav defensive system built near the former Italian border.
