Gorenje (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾeːnjɛ]; in older sources also Gornja vas,[2][3] German: Obrern[3][4]) is a settlement north of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[5] It includes the hamlets of Pri Studencu (German: Bein Brunnwirth)[3] and Plumbirt.[6]
Name
The name Gorenje is shared by several settlements in Slovenia. It arose through ellipsis of Gorenje selo (literally, 'upper village'), denoting the elevation of the place in relation to a neighboring settlement.[7] Gorenje stands about 18 meters (59 ft) higher than the neighboring villages to the west.
Cultural heritage
A small late 19th-century chapel in the centre of the village is dedicated to Saint Joseph.[8]
