Slatna ( or ) is a small village above
In the Middle Ages, Glanz Manor stood northwest of today's village. It was never a typical medieval defensive structure, but only a set of wealthy dwellings that were part of the estate of Kamen Castle. At the end of the 15th century, the Lamberg noble family renovated the structure and added more buildings with some defensive walls. For them the manor had a special value, and so in 1557 they applied the name ''Gutenberg'' to it; this was the name of their previous large castle above Bistrica near Tržič. However, New Gutenberg also fell into disrepair by the beginning of the 17th century.
