Čekovnik (pronounced [tʃɛˈkoːu̯nik]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills west of Idrija in the traditional Littoral region of Slovenia. In addition to Čekovnik itself, the settlement includes the hamlets of Hleviše, Nikova, and Osojni Vrh.
Farming in Čekovnik is meager, and traditionally the economy of the village was based on forestry. Until 1926, timber was harvested and floated down Šihtenpoh Creek. A wooden dam was built on the creek in 1868 to aid log driving. During the Second World War, the local farmers were involved in support activities for the Partisans' Pavla field hospital. A memorial to this activity was unveiled in 1966.

Bite the hand that feeds your face
One more thing you can replace
Shut my mouth because I’m spilling all your dirty secrets
Slap the wrist of this embrace
You're the one who's losing face
Search the quiet corners
Lock the door I can hear you screaming
Don't wake up you're not really dreaming
When your world starts caving in
I'd still take you in
Pour the salt straight in my veins
I wont need them anymore
Make the cut much deeper
Lying on your bedroom floor
I'm giving up, I’m giving up
When your world starts caving in
I'd still take you in
And if your world filled you with fear
I'm already here
And I've been everything you ever needed
Ever wanted, everything you wished for
And this is how you repay me
And I've always been right here
You'll play your part and I'll play mine
Even if I don't want to
Wish I understood this game
But it cost me just the same
Whatever I owe you
Never sacrifice the pain
But it always ends, it always end the same
When your world starts caving in
I'd still take you in
And if your world filled you with fear
I'm already here
