Sebenje (pronounced [sɛˈbeːnjɛ]; German: Sebeine[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Tržič in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Geography
[edit]Sebenje is a scattered village in a level area along the road from Žiganja Vas to Križe[3][4] nestled against the western Miocene foothills of the Udin Woods (Slovene: Udin boršt).[4] Next to the Udin Woods, the soil is loamy and swampy.[3] The land east and southeast of the village is forested. There are several springs and creeks northeast of the village.[4] The Križe Basin (Slovene: Kriško polje) lies to the west, toward the Tržič Bistrica River.
History
[edit]Before the Second World War, making shoes was the major economic activity in the village.[3][4] Other residents made a living farming or working at factories in Tržič.[3] Until a water main was installed in the village in 1942, supplied by a catchwater at Zgornje Vetrno,[4] cisterns were used for water.[3]
