Dolenje Jezero

Dolenje Jezero is a village on the northern edge of Lake Cerknica in the Municipality of Cerknica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.

Name

The name Dolenje Jezero means 'lower lake' and is a semantic contrast to the neighboring village of Gorenje Jezero, which stands about higher in elevation. Like other villages named Jezero, the name refers to a local landscape element—in this case, Lake Cerknica.
