Breg pri Borovnici (pronounced [ˈbɾéːk pɾi bɔɾɔwˈnìːtsi]) is a settlement north of Borovnica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2] It includes the hamlet of Trnovo to the south.[3]
Name[edit]
Breg pri Borovnici was attested in historical sources as Rippa juxta Pach in 1299.[4] The name of the settlement was changed from Breg to Breg pri Borovnici (literally, 'Breg near Borovnica') in 1955.[5] The toponym Breg is common in Slovenia and is derived from the common noun breg '(river) bank, slope', but may also refer to creeks and other running water;[6] in this case, Borovniščica Creek runs through Breg pri Borovnici.
History[edit]
A wood company operated in Breg pri Borovnica before the Second World War. The village was burned during the war by Italian forces on 13 August 1942. A new railroad line was built through Breg pri Borovnici in 1947, cutting off the hamlet of Trnovo from the main part of the village.[3]
