Slavinje (pronounced [ˈslaːʋinjɛ]; Italian: Slavigne) is a village on the road between Hruševje and Razdrto in the Municipality of Postojna in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
The newer part of Slavinje lies along the main road, and the older part of the village stands on a rise immediately south of the road. Before water mains were installed in the village, water was obtained from wells and cisterns, and from nearby Hornbeam Spring (Pod gabrom). A spring in the lower part of the village has been impounded for use as a water source for livestock. There is a karst spring in a meadow in the woods south of the village.[3]
