Dolenja Vas (pronounced [dɔˈleːnja ˈʋaːs]; Slovene: Dolenja vas, German: Unterbirkendorf[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Naklo in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

[3] It was a large village on steeply eroded terraces south of the main settlement of Podbrezje.

This name and names like it are common in Slovenia and other Slavic countries, and they indicate that the settlement lay at a lower elevation than nearby settlements.

[2] Dolenja Vas was annexed by the village of Podbrezje in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
