Geography

edit

Studenci lies south of the village center of Dolenja Dobrava. Studence Hill (elevation: 405 meters or 1,329 feet) stands above the settlement to the north. It is connected by road to Jezero to the northwest and Poljane pri Mirni Peči to the east.

Name

edit

The name Studenci literally means 'springs', and it and similar forms (e.g., Studenec, Studeno) are relatively common toponyms for places in Slovenia associated with springs. It is derived from Slavic *studenьcь '(walled) spring', from the adjective *studenъ 'cold'.[4]

History

edit

Studenci was deemed annexed by Dolenja Dobrava in 1953, ending any existence it had as a separate settlement.[5][6]
