Kresniške Poljane (pronounced [kɾɛˈsniːʃkɛ pɔˈljaːnɛ]; German: Kreßnitzpolane[2]) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia. It lies between Jevnica and Kresnice. The railway line from Ljubljana to Zidani Most runs through the settlement. Traditionally the area was part of Lower Carniola and it is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region; until January 2014 the municipality was part of the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]
