Železniki Municipality, Archery club in Železniki, Slovenia

The Municipality of Železniki stretches across 164.8 square kilometers in the Upper Carniola region, incorporating 30 settlements within the Selca Valley.

The industrial legacy of Železniki began in 1422 with iron smelting operations, leading to the establishment of a blast furnace in 1826 that operated until 1902.

The local archery club, Društvo lokostrelcev Eisnern, maintains strong community ties through regular competitions, demonstrations, and training sessions for various skill levels.

The municipality sits at coordinates 46.2257913 latitude and 14.1693085 longitude, approximately 40 kilometers from Ljubljana with an elevation of 450 meters above sea level.

The town name Železniki derives from iron-working heritage, while German speakers know it as Eisnern, Lithuanians as Železnikai, and Serbian speakers as Железники.
