Trzen (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈtəɾzən], in older sources also Trzin,[1] German: Tersen[1]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Moravče in central Slovenia. It is now part of the town of Moravče.[2] The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]

Geography
