Strane (pronounced [ˈstɾaːnɛ]) is a small village below the eastern slopes of Mount Nanos in the Municipality of Postojna in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.

[5] Karel Dežman had previously estimated the tree as 952 years old in 1860, assuming a slower rate of growth.

[5] Folk tradition claims that Saint Jerome preached under a predecessor of the current yew.
