Dolenje pri Jelšanah (pronounced [dɔˈleːnjɛ pɾi jɛlˈʃaːnax]; Italian: Dolegna) is a village north of Jelšane in the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia, next to the border with Croatia.[2] The settlement includes the hamlets of Dolnji Kraj (Slovene: Dolnji kraj), Gornji Kraj ([Gornji kraj] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), and Vrh Žloštajna.[3]

Geography

The built-up part of the settlement occupies a small level area, the Dolenje Karst Field (Slovene: Dolenjsko polje), along the road from Ilirska Bistrica to Rijeka. Elevations in the settlement include Big Peak ([Veliki vrh] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), 597 m), Brščice Hill (538 m), Kalič Hill (601 m), Kičiber Hill (also: Čičiber, 578 m), Kilovec Hill (516 m), Staregutnik Hill (568 m), and Stražnica Hill (also: Stražica, 577 m). Dolenje pri Jelšanah lies in a heavily karstified area with many caves, sinkholes, and losing streams. One of these streams flows through the village and disappears into Šapjan Cave ([Šapjanska jama] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). Dolenje Creek ([Dolenjski potok] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) has its source below Stražnica Hill and is known locally as Žloštajn Creek. The stream follows the road to Mala Bukovica, where it joins Molja Creek.[3]

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Dolenje to Dolenje pri Jelšanah in 1955.[4][5] The name Dolenje pri Jelšanah literally means 'Dolenje near Jelšane'. The toponym Dolenje is derived from the adjective dolenji 'lower'. It is an originally masculine accusative plural form (ending in -e) that was later reanalyzed as a feminine nominative plural. The toponym Dolenje is common in Slovenia and indicates that the settlement lay at a lower elevation than nearby settlements.[6]

Mass graves

Dolenje pri Jelšanah is the site of four known mass graves or unmarked graves from the end of the Second World War. They all contain the remains of German soldiers from the 97th Corps that fell at the beginning of May 1945. The Brajda Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Brajda) is located in the overgrown Brajda meadow at the house at Dolenje pri Jelšanah no. 1. It contains the remains of six soldiers.[7] The House No. 1 Grave ([Grobišče pri hiši številka 1] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is located in the yard of the same house. It contains the remains of one soldier.[8] The House No. 8 Grave ([Grobišče pri hiši številka 8] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is located next to a fence under a spruce tree. It contains the remains of one soldier.[9] The Farbečkina Mass Grave ([Grobišče Farbečkina] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is located north of the settlement, in an overgrown meadow on the west side of the road. It contains the remains of two soldiers.[10]

Church

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Jelšane.[11]
