Dolenja Vas (Slovene: Dolenja vas, German: Unterbirkendorf[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Naklo in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Podbrezje.[3] It was a large village on steeply eroded terraces south of the main settlement of Podbrežje.[1][3]
Name
Dolenja vas literally means 'lower village'. This name and names like it are common in Slovenia and other Slavic countries, and they indicate that the settlement lay at a lower elevation than nearby settlements.[4] In the 19th century it was known as Unterbirkendorf in German.[2]
History
Dolenja Vas was annexed by the village of Podbrezje in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5]
