Železniki is a small town and a municipality in Slovenia, with a population of four to five thousand. It has some large factories including Alples, Domel and Niko. It also has a handball team Alples, football team NK Železniki and floorball team Domel.
Železniki is the economic centre and the largest settlement in the Selscica valley. It used to be known for iron smelting, and its name in Slovenian indicates a relation to ironworks. The first furnace was mentioned in 1422, and the original furnace was replaced in 1826 by a blast furnace which ceased operating in about 1902.
The architecture of the old part of the settlement is mainly from the 17th century.
