The village has a road connection to Bohinjska Bistrica, and the road continues west from the village into the foothills of the Komna Plateau. There are three springs in the village: one at the Pavle Clearing (Pavletov rovt) in Spodnji Konec, one at the Balant Commons (Balantova gmjana) in Zgornji Konec, and one at the Klemenc Commons (Klemenčeva gmajna) in Dolino.^[2]

The shaft contains the remains of two people thrown into the cave during the war.^[4]
