Kobiljek (pronounced [kɔˈbiːljɛk]) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi. It is now part of the village of Borje. [1] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
Kobiljek lies north of Borje, in a pass between Jablana Peak ( Slovene: Jablanški vrh, elevation 902 meters or 2,959 feet) to the east and Pleše Hill (elevation 866 meters or 2,841 feet) to the northwest. [1] Kobiljek Hill (elevation 920 meters or 3,020 feet) rises to the southeast. It is accessible by a road from Jablana.
The name Kobiljek is related to toponyms such as Kobilje and Koble, and it is derived from Slavic *kobyla 'mare'. [2]
Kobiljek was annexed by Borje in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement. [3] [4]
