The Blekova Commons (Blekovske gmajne) lies to the northwest, and south of the village rises Sekirica Hill (545 meters or 1,788 feet) with a ski jump built by Stanko Bloudek.

It is said that mercury was found in the past in Kobal Spring (Kobalov studenec) in the village, which has since been filled, and it was assumed that it was connected with a deposit extending to Idrija.

The name Blekova vas appears to mean 'Blek's village', and it is presumed that it is derived from the personal name Blek, probably a metathesis of a name similar to Old High German Walh or Waliko.

[1][4] The Krvave Jame area along the old road north of the village is an archaeological site where artifacts have been found from the late Middle Ages and early Modern Era.

[6] Oral tradition states that a battle with French troops took place at Krvave Jame during the time of the Illyrian Provinces.
