Goreljek (pronounced as /sl/ or pronounced as /sl/) is a high-elevation settlement on the Pokljuka Plateau in the Municipality of Bohinj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It has less than ten residents, but there are a large number of holiday homes in Goreljek and its immediate area. The northern part of the settlement's territory extends into the Ore Valley (Slovenian: 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.[6]
