Dolenje (pronounced [dɔˈleːnjɛ]) is a village on the left bank of the Vipava River in the Municipality of Ajdovščina in the Littoral region of Slovenia. [2]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Margaret and belongs to the Parish of Planina. [3]
A stone arch bridge over the Vipava River links Dolenje to the village of Dolga Poljana. The three-arch bridge was built in the 19th century. It is paved with gravel and supported by buttresses that are reinforced with groynes on the upstream side. There is a low stone wall on both sides of the bridge, and a shrine with a semi-circular niche once stood at it. [4]
