The municipality of Bloke covers the Bloke Plateau, which lies at the edge of the Notranjska region, between Cerkniško polje and the Loška and Ribniška valleys. You can reach Bloke from various directions from the Ljubljana-Unec-Žlebič-Ljubljana main road triangle. The plateau, which reaches 720 to 800 metres above sea level, is made of dolomite in the north, and of limestone in the south. It is surrounded by round hills that are partly overgrown with trees. It covers an area of 75 square kilometres and has a population of 1,634 inhabitants that live in 45 villages and hamlets, all of which are still populated, although some of them comprise only one house. The area has 49,187 kilometres of local roads and 28,233 kilometres of public paths. The centre of the municipality is at Nova vas, where you will find a primary school, a kindergarten, a health centre, a post office, a bank, shops and an inn. There are also two factories – Novolit and Kovinoplastika Lož. The municipality was independent until 1955, when it joined the municipality of Cerknica. In 1994, it separated from Cerknica and joined the new municipality of Loška Dolina. In 1998, when it separated from Loška Dolina, the independent municipality of Bloke was founded, beginning its activities on 1st January 1999.
