Jelšane
Jelšane (pronounced [jɛu̯ˈʃaːnɛ]; Italian: Elsane) is a village in the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia, right on the border with Croatia. The Jelšane international border crossing between Slovenia and Croatia is just south of the village. The Croatian settlement opposite Jelšane is Rupa in the municipality of Matulji. After Slovenia joined the Schengen area on December 21, 2007, the Rupa–Jelšane route was a Schengen external border crossing until 2023.
