Geography
Selce stands on a hill east of Tirna above the Mošenik Gorge (Slovene: Mošenjska grapa).[2] It is connected to Tirna by a road through the hamlet of Brezovica.
Name
The name Selce is a plural diminutive of the common noun selo 'settlement, village'. It is related to toponyms such as Selo, Sela, and Selca.[3]
History
Selce had a population of 34 (in five houses) in 1890[4] and 26 (in six houses) in 1900.[5] Selce was annexed by Tirna in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6][7]
