Goreljek

Goreljek (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾeːljək] or [ɡɔˈɾeːljɛk]) is a high-elevation settlement on the Pokljuka Plateau in the Municipality of Bohinj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The northern part of the settlement's territory extends into the Ore Valley (Slovene: Rudna dolina).

The local chapel is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Hermit and was rebuilt in a modern alpine style in 1996.

[2] Goreljek was first attested in written sources as Gorellegk in 1494,[3][4] and it was originally a mountain pasture belonging to the village of Koprivnik v Bohinju.

[4][5] During the Second World War, German forces surrounded and destroyed most of the 3rd Battalion of the Partisans' Prešeren Brigade at Goreljek on December 15, 1943.
