Hrenovice (pronounced [ˈxɾeːnɔʋitsɛ]; Italian: Crenovizza) is a settlement west of Postojna in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Hrenovice stands in the lower part of the Pivka Basin. The compactly built-up main part of the village lies along a side rode on the east slope of Kres Hill (571 meters or 1,873 feet). The hamlet of Pri Bolku lies to the south, along the old main road from Razdrto to Postojna. The hamlet of Fara (also known as Pri Fara or Na Hribu) lies to the west. The two main springs in the settlement, named Bajer na Loki (literally, 'the pond in the flood meadow') and Grilova ograda (literally, 'Gril's enclosure'), are located in Pri Bolku. At the northeast edge of the village, spruce-covered Pugled Hill (563 meters or 1,847 feet) rises above the Nanoščica River, which is subject to frequent flooding.[3]
