It is long, with its border part having a length of and the rest located in Croatia. Name The name ''Colapis'', recorded in antiquity, is presumed to come from the Proto-Indo-European roots ''*quel-'' 'turn, meander' and ''*ap-'' 'water', meaning 'meandering water'. An alternative interpretation is ''*(s)kel-''/''*skul-'' 'shiny, bright', meaning 'clear river'.

White Carniola
White Carniola ( sl, Bela krajina; german: Weißkrain or ''Weiße Mark'') is a traditional region in southeastern Slovenia on the border with Croatia. Due to its smallness, it is often considered a subunit of the broader Lower Carniola region, although with distinctive cultural, linguistic, and historical features. Due to its proximity with Croatia, White Carniola shares many cultural and linguistic features with the neighboring Kajkavian Croatian areas. It is generally considered the Slovenian region with the closest cultural affinity with other South Slavic territories. It was part of Slavonia until the 12th century, after which it shared the historical fate with the Windic March and Lower Carniola to the north. During the 19th century, it was one of the regions with the highest emigration rate in the Slovene Lands, and the Austrian Empire in general. During World War II, it was an important center of anti-Fascist resistance in Slovenia. Geography The area is confined by ...

Lahinja
The Lahinja is a river in White Carniola, the extreme southeastern part of Slovenia. It is long and originates from several karst springs at the end of a steephead valley between the villages of Knežina, Belčji Vrh, and Mali Nerajec. In its upper course the river flows towards the north in a narrow bed with a very shallow gradient, resulting in the fact that it meanders significantly. All of its major affluents join it from the west and all of them start from karst springs. At Dragatuš it is joined by its major tributary Podturnščica Creek, and at Črnomelj by Dobličica Creek. From the outflow of Podturnščica Creek the bed of the Lahinja is narrow and up to 20 m deep, with numerous bends. At the vicinity of one of them stands Gradac Castle. From Črnomelj to Gradac the river has no surface affluents, but below Gradac it is joined by the high-volume and faster-flowing Krupa. After its confluence with the Krupa, the Lahinja turns towards the east. It joins the Kol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fučkovci
Fučkovci () is a settlement on the terrace above the left bank of the Kolpa River in the Municipality of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia, next to the border with Croatia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region. Name The settlement was first attested in written sources in 1490 as ''Futskowisch'' (and in 1674 as ''Fuschkhoutzy''). Like the nearby Croatian settlement of Fučkovac in the Municipality of Bosiljevo, the name is derived from a Slavic personal name (cf. the Slovene surname ''Fučko''). The plural name of the settlement thus literally means 'residents of Fučko's village'. The name ''Fučko'' itself could be derived from the verb ''fučkati'' 'to whistle', but is probably a hypocorism of the personal name ''Fuk'' (until recently also a Slovene surname), likely derived from the Old High German Old High German (OHG; german: Althochdeutsch (Ahd.)) is the e ...
