One of the highest villages in Bohinj area, right at the edge of Pokljuka plateau.
Gorjuše is a sprawling settlement in the Municipality of Bohinj, consisting of three centres, Lower, Middle and Upper Gorjuše.

In Gorjuše, the making of smoking pipes (the local name for them is čedra), which developed several centuries ago, is still preserved. Čedra was sold throughout Central Europe and Dalmatia. Gorjuška pipes, made of pear, maple and pine wood, were of various shapes, decorated with silver sheet and mother-of-pearl inlays. Today, only two inhabitants still make those smoking pipes.

Public transport

The easiest way to visit Gorjuše is by public transport in summer, when the Hop On - Hop Off bus goes to Pokljuka.

Directions

Gorjuše can be reached by car from Bohinjska Bistrica or Bled.

Parking

The gravel car park is located next to the fire station.
