Škrilj, Semič

Škrilj (pronounced [ˈʃkɾiːl]; German: Skrill[1][2]) is a remote former settlement in the Municipality of Semič in southern Slovenia.

The name Škrilj comes from the dialect word škril, corresponding to standard Slovene skril 'slate', referring to the local lithology.

Italian troops burned the village during the Rog Offensive in the summer of 1942 and it was not rebuilt after the war.
