Sela pri Rudniku is a clustered settlement below Orle at the end of an embayment in the Ljubljana Marsh.

It is connected to Lavrica by a road that runs along the northwest base of Smrečje Hill (elevation: 384 meters or 1,260 feet) and continues to Orle and Podmolnik.

[4] The name Čemšenik is derived from the common noun čremsa 'bird cherry', referring to the local vegetation.

[5] The modern name of the settlement, Sela pri Rudniku, means 'Sela near Rudnik'.

[1][2] Sela pri Rudniku was annexed by the village of Lavrica in 1983, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
