Zalog pri Kresnicah (pronounced [ˈzaːlɔk pɾi kɾɛˈsniːtsax]; German: Saloch[2]) is a small settlement in the hills above the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Moravče in central Slovenia. Traditionally the area was part of Upper Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]
Name
The name Zalog pri Kresnicah means 'Zalog near Kresnice', differentiating the settlement from others named Zalog (e.g., Zalog pri Moravčah, Zalog pri Škofljici, etc.) The name Zalog is a fused prepositional phrase, derived from za 'behind' + log 'partially wooded (wet) meadow near water' or 'woods (near a settlement)'.[4]
