It is located at the southern slope of the Karavanke mountain range at the confluence of the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka, both headwaters of the Sava river.
The settlement around a church built at the behest of the Patriarchs of Aquileia in the March of Carniola was first mentioned in a 1296 deed, it received market rights from Duke Henry of Carinthia. In the 14th century it was held by the Carinthian counts of Ortenburg, was inherited by the Counts of Celje in 1418 and upon the death of Count Ulrich II of Celje in 1456 fell to the Habsburg Emperor Frederick III. With the Duchy of Carniola it was incorporated into the Inner Austrian lands of the Habsburg Monarchy.
