Podskrajnik (pronounced [pɔtˈskɾaːi̯nik]) is a settlement on the western outskirts of Cerknica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Podskrajnik lies along the road between Rakek and Cerknica.[3][4] It lies below the south slope of the Skrajnik Ridge (elevation 652 meters or 2,139 feet). The soil in the area is gravelly and rocky, and it is damp in the area known as Na Brodcu to the south, where the water table lies just below the surface.[4]
Name
The name Podskrajnik is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection, from pod 'below' + Skrajnik, referring to the Skrajnik Ridge.[5]
