Reber (pronounced [ˈɾeːbəɾ], in older sources also Rebro)[2] is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kamnik in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Bela.[3] The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
Reber stands on the sunny side of a slope about 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) north of the main road from Kamnik to Motnik.[1]
Name
The name Reber is derived from the common noun reber 'slope, hillside', reflecting its geographical position. It is a relatively common name in Slovenia, as both a toponym and an oronym.[4] The former village of Reber lies on a slope rising from the Motnišnica Valley to the Menina Pasture Plateau.
