Godovič – the passage from the region of Idrija into the region of Notranjska.
|
|
The village at the main road Idrija – Kalce (the so-called Keltika) has developed at an important junction of old transport ways between Idrija and the region of Notranjska, between the Vipava valley and the basin of Žiri. You will experience Godovič as a likeable village among fields and meadows surrounded by groves and forests. In the last few years the village has grown considerably, mostly due to the newly built and established industrial plants and the new settlers who have built their houses in the village.

Vojsko – a plateau of peace, where the sky is closer and the views are richer.
|
|
 Vojsko is known as the highest lying village in the region of Primorska. It is strewn all over the Vojsko plateau on about 1,000 m above sea level, situated between the valleys of the Idrijca, the Kanomljica and Trebuša.
After long winters the summer time in Vojsko offers genuinely natural, peaceful and fresh idyllic landscape covered with meadows and extremely rich flora in general. Mountain meadows and mixed forests cover the area in symbiosis. Homesteads and holiday houses are sometimes several kilometres apart.

Kanomlja – along the tectonic fault to the French 'klavže' water barriers.
|
|
|
 Within the Idrija hills Kanomlja is the largest and the most widespread side valley. It is sunk deep between the Vojsko and the Krnice plateaus in the line of the famous tectonic fault spreading from Veneto in Italy over the region of Idrija and all the way to the region of Notranjska. Its magnificence can be observed from the viewpoint Hudournik above the village Oblakov Vrh. In the 14th century when the first farms have occurred in the valley, it was named Kolumba (Columba), most probably due to a widespread wood pigeon (Columba palumbus) species.

Črni Vrh
|
|
Črni Vrh is the main village on the large plateau, located at the regional road Godovič – Col – Ajdovščina. The village is surrounded by dark beech and pine forests which probably also gave the name to the village (Črni Vrh in Slovene means Black Peak). The area of Črni Vrh below the Javornik, the edge of the forest Trnovski gozd belonged to Vipava between the Middle Ages and the 19th century. The distinctively Karst area with countless disappearing streams, sinkholes and abysses is covered with meadows, pastures, settlements, solitary homesteads, wayside shrines and small chapels, all in all unspoilt natural environment.
