Steske (pronounced [ˈsteːskɛ]) is a small settlement in western Slovenia in the Municipality of Nova Gorica. It is located near the village of Branik in the Branik Valley, part of Vipava Valley.[2]
The main part of Steske lies along the Branica River, a tributary of the Vipava River. The hamlet of Pekel lies to the northwest along the Vipava. Vrh Hill (elevation: 226 meters or 741 feet) rises to the northeast, Saint Catherine's Hill (Sveta Katarina, 223 meters or 732 feet) to the east, and Kozjak Hill (264 meters or 866 feet) to the southwest.[3] A 19th-century stone bridge spans the Branica immediately west of the main part of the village.[4]
