Cerkno hills

Cerkno Hills

The Cerkno Hills (Slovene: Cerkljansko hribovje or Cerkljansko) is a transitional region between the alpine and the dinaric landscape centered around Cerkno, Slovenia. Several passes in this area connect the Poljane Valley and the Selca Valley with the Idrijca Valley and the Soča Valley. The highest peak is Porezen (1630 m).

The landscape is very diverse geologically and is one of the most interesting in Slovenia in this respect. Among the steep hills numerous ravines and valleys have been carved out by the Cerknica River and its tributaries.
