The Kneža Fault (pronounced [ˈkneːʒa]; Slovene: Kneški prelom) is a fault in Slovenia. It strikes NW-SE and lies southwest of the Ravne Fault and northwest of the Idrija Fault. Movements along the fault can be constrained to dextral strike-slip. The orientation and kinematics are similar to the Ravne Fault, Žužemberk Fault, Predjama Fault, and Raša Fault.[1]
The fault is named after the village of Kneža. It roughly extends between Bovec in the northwest and Idrija in the southeast.
