Stara Fužina (pronounced [ˈstaːɾa fuˈʒiːna]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Bohinj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Name[edit]
The name Stara Fužina literally means 'old foundry, old forge'. Like other places with similar names (e.g., Fužina, Fužine, and Fusine in Valromana), the name refers to ironworking in the past. The Slovene common noun fužina is borrowed from Friulian or Venetian Italian fusina, cognate with standard Italian fucina 'foundry, forge'.[2]
Church[edit]
The medieval church on the outskirts of the village is dedicated to Saint Paul.[3]
