Geography

Kobiljek lies north of Borje, in a pass between Jablana Peak to the east and Pleše Hill to the northwest. Kobiljek Hill rises to the southeast. It is accessible by a road from Jablana.

The name Kobiljek is related to toponyms such as Kobilje and Koble, and it is derived from Slavic *kobyla 'mare'.

Kobiljek was annexed by Borje in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
