The names Grahote, Kalnikje and Križmanca identify the fields, while Na gmajni, Osredku and Kozjeku refer to the extensive deciduous forests dominated by beech trees. The landscape can thus be understood on two scales: open land and its wooded surroundings. If landscape character matters when choosing a destination, Roženpelj offers a clearly described mix of both.
What shapes the settlement and village character?
The hilltop location and the term “clustered settlement” describe both the place’s setting and its layout. There are a few village gardens with grapevines at Rebrih. This detail adds a smaller-scale form of land use to the fields, meadows and pastures. The description of the place thus encompasses not only karst and forest, but also the settlement and its gardens.
