Geography

edit

Črete is located about 1.6 kilometers (0.99 mi) northwest of Ledina on a slope above the left bank of the Sava River.

Name

edit

Like the related names Čreta and Čret, the name Črete is derived from the common noun čreta or čret 'marshland, morass', referring to the local geography.[6] A 1953 decision appears to have renamed the village Čretež pri Ledini [sic], confusing the name Črete with that of settlements named Čretež.[7]

History

edit

Črete was deemed annexed by Ledina in 1955, ending any existence it had as an independent settlement.[1][8]
