Kozaršče (pronounced [kɔˈzaːɾʃtʃɛ] ) is a small village northwest of Most na Soči in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. [2]
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.
Most na Soči is a town in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It is located on a rocky crest above the confluence of Soča and Idrijca rivers. In the past these two riverbeds, deeply carved into the rocky slopes, provided the settlement with excellent protection from intruders. Due to the nearby Doblar hydro plant, the basins of the river were entirely inundated and below the settlement a vast reservoir was formed, which now attracts both fishermen and visitors, who can stroll along some well-kept panoramic paths.
Tolmin is a small town in northwestern Slovenia. It is the administrative centre of the Municipality of Tolmin.
The local church, built on a hill to the north of the settlement, is dedicated to the Holy Name of Mary. It belongs to the Parish of Volče [3] and dates back to the 12th century.
A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor. Its association with the parish church remains paramount.
Volče is a settlement on the right bank of the Soča River in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia, close to the border with Italy.
