Vojsko, Idrija
Vojsko (pronounced [ˈʋoːi̯skɔ] or [ˈʋɔːi̯skɔ], German: Woiska) is a dispersed settlement in the hills west of Idrija in the traditional Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. 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.

Name

The name Vojsko arose through ellipsis from the noun phrase *vojьsko (selo) 'military settlement'. The name did not derive from visoko 'high', as sometimes hypothesized.

Church

The parish church is dedicated to Saint Joseph and belongs to the Koper Diocese.

Weather station

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.

Vojsko has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb).
