Žlan (pronounced [ˈʒlaːn]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Bohinj in the Upper Carniola region of northwestern Slovenia.
Geography
[edit]Žlan is located in the mountainous Upper Carniola region, at an elevation of about 572 meters (1,877 ft). The settlement lies near Bohinjska Bistrica, and a trail to the peak of Črna Prst passes through the area.[2]
Name
[edit]Žlan was attested in historical sources as Schlan and Shlan in 1763–1787. It may be a borrowing from Bavarian German *Schlewn, which is presumed borrowed from Slovene žleb 'gorge, ravine', thus referring to the local geography.[3][4]
