Geography

The Vintgar hydroelectric plant on the Radovna stands nearby, as does the scenic Vintgar Gorge, a popular tourist attraction.

Name
[edit]Blejska Dobrava was attested in written sources as Harde in 1253, Hard in 1368, and Oberhardt in 1498.[3] The modern Slovene name Blejska Dobrava (literally, 'Bled Dobrava') reflects its original connection to the nearby town of Bled. The place name Dobrava is relatively frequent in Slovenia. It is derived from the Slovene common noun dobrava 'gently rolling partially wooded land' (and archaically 'woods, grove'). The name therefore refers to the local geography.[4]
History
[edit]Blejska Dobrava is one of the oldest villages in the area, attested from the 12th century,[5] Once predominantly agricultural, Blejska Dobrava has partially urbanized under the influence of industry from the nearby municipal seat of Jesenice. There is a manufacturing plant, tracing its roots back to a prewar electrode factory, as well as two smaller industrial facilities.
St. Stephen's Church
[edit]St. Stephen's Church (Slovene: Cerkev svetega Štefana), dedicated to Saint Stephen, was originally Gothic, with a rectangular nave and pentagonal presbytery, but was rebuilt in 1743 in the Baroque style. A wall around the church encloses the old, abandoned graveyard, with some of the older graves still marked, including the grave of two sisters (Katra and Jera) of the poet France Prešeren, built into the church's outside wall.
