Snežnik (in Slovenian pronounced as /snɛˈʒniːk/, German: Schneeberg[2]) is a dispersed settlement on the slopes of Mount Snežnik in the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Snežnik includes the hamlets of Mašun to the north, Sviščaki to the west, and Gomanjče (German: Hermsburg,[2] [4] Italian: Casa di caccia[4]) to the south on the border with Croatia.
Snežnik became an independent settlement in 1989, when territory was split off from the settlements of Ilirska Bistrica and Koritnice to constitute it.[5]
