Cerkno is the centre of the Cerkno region, where at the transition between the Alpine and the Primorska world the valleys of the Cerknica and the Idrijca meet. The varied Cerkno region is suitable for walking, as it is criss-crossed by waymarked paths from short strolls to full-day mountain tours.

The place holds some remarkable stories: in the Cerkno Museum you get to know the heritage of the place, hidden Franja Partisan Hospital is recognised as a European heritage monument, and in the Divje babe cave a bone flute was found that many consider one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. In winter you are invited by the Cerkno ski centre and the traditional Cerkno laufarija, one of the most picturesque Slovenian carnival customs. Browse the accommodation, taste the catering offering and choose among the activities in Cerkno and its surroundings.
