Gorenje (pronounced as /sl/; it|Goregna) is a village in the hills northwest of Postojna in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
The name Gorenje is shared by several settlements in Slovenia. It arose through ellipsis of Gorenje selo (literally, 'upper village'), denoting the elevation of the place in relation to a neighboring settlement.[3] Gorenje stands about 127m (417feet) higher than Bukovje, the nearest neighboring village.
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Parish of Studeno.[4]
