Vojsko (pronounced as /sl/ or pronounced as /sl/, de|Woiska[2]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills west of Idrija in the traditional Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2] It has a cluster of buildings centered on the parish church at its centre, and includes a number of smaller hamlets as well as remote farmsteads in the surrounding hills.[3]
The name Vojsko arose through ellipsis from the noun phrase *vojьsko (selo) 'military settlement'.[4] The name did not derive from visoko 'high', as sometimes hypothesized.[4] [5]
The parish church is dedicated to Saint Joseph and belongs to the Koper Diocese.[6]
A weather station was installed at Vojsko in July 1928. Initially, it was used solely for measuring precipitation, but since November 1958 it has recorded all common meteorological observations.[7]
Vojsko has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb).
