Klanec (pronounced [ˈklaːnəts]; occasionally Klanc,[2][3] German: Klanz[4]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the city of Kranj.[5] Klanec lies above the left bank of the Kokra River, connected to the center of Kranj by a bridge. The houses in Klanec mingle with those of neighboring Huje and Primskovo, both also former independent settlements.[1]
Name[edit]
The name Klanec is shared with several other settlements in Slovenia. The name is derived from the Slovene common noun klanec, which may variously mean 'steep path upwards', 'path through a narrow area', and 'isolated, tucked-away place'.[6] In the past the German name was Klanz.[4]
History[edit]
Klanec was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[7][8]
