Geography
Gonjače is a somewhat scattered settlement between Kojsko and Šmartno along the road from Vrhovlje pri Kojskem to Dobrovo. The village includes the neighborhoods of V Koncu and Na Vrhu as well as the hamlet of Bale to the southwest. The houses largely stand along a narrow ridge that falls steeply into the adjacent valleys. To the west, rainfall drains into watercourses flowing into Reka Creek, and to the west into Birša Creek, which flows into Italy as the Versa and joins the Iudrio further downstream. Springs in the area include Močilo, Polje, and Gabrovica.History
During the Second World War, following the Armistice of Cassibile, a Partisan command post was established in the lower part of the village. A repair shop and an intelligence station were also established there, and Gonjače functioned as an administrative and operative link for the Partisans between the upper and lower Gorizia Hills.In 1955, a viewing tower was installed on Mejnik Hill in the southwestern part of the village. The tower is illuminated by floodlights at night.
