Шаблон:Short description The Brkini Hills (Шаблон:IPA-sl; Шаблон:Lang-sl; Шаблон:Lang-hr[1]) is a hilly region in southwestern Slovenia.[2]

Geography

The Brkini Hills border the Reka River in the north, the Materija Valley (Шаблон:Lang) in the southwest, the Karst Plateau (Шаблон:Lang) in the northwest, and the Jelšane Valley (Шаблон:Lang) in the southeast.[3] The Brkini region is divided among the municipalities of Hrpelje-Kozina, Pivka, Ilirska Bistrica, and Divača.[4] The region is Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide and covers an area of Шаблон:Convert.[3] The central part of the region has an elevation of Шаблон:Convert.[3] The center of the region is the village of Pregarje.[4] The climate is mild, and the geological basis is flyschy, with smaller limestone areas in the northeast.[4] The region serves as a link between the Mediterranean and the continental part of Slovenia.[5]

Name

The name Brkini is believed to be of Italian origin because of the suffixation pattern. This indicates that the root of the name (brk-) may be derived from northern Italian bricco, bricca '(steep) slope'. Derivation from the Slavic noun brdo 'hill' is doubtful.[1]

Economy

The Brkini Hills are an economically underdeveloped region,[4] with the main economic activity being fruit farming, in particular plums.[3] Many people from the Brkini Hills commute to work to the nearby centers of Ilirska Bistrica, Podgrad, Hrpelje, and Kozina.[3] During World War II, over one-third of the villages in the Brkini Hills were burned by Italian and German forces due to Partisan activity in the area, which significantly affected the development of the region.[3] The population density is low, with people still leaving.[4]
