Orehovlje (pronounced [ɔˈɾeːxɔljɛ]) is a settlement on the right bank of the Kokra River in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Name
Like similar place names in Slovenia (e.g., Orehovica, Orehovec, Orešje, etc.), the name Orehovlje is based on the root oreh 'walnut', thus referring to the local vegetation.[3]
