SloveniaTraditional region Lower Carniola Statistical region Spodnjeposavska Municipality Brežice Area – Total 2.54 km2 (1 sq mi) Elevation 143.8 m (472 ft) Population (2002) – Total 719 [1] Obrežje is a settlement in the Brežice municipality in eastern Slovenia, close to the border with Croatia. A major motorway border crossing is located here. Obrežje is the end/start of Slovenia's A2 motorway. It connects to Croatia's A3 Motorway. Both motorways form part of the European route E70. The Croatian settlement across the border is Bregana, part of the town of Samobor. Since 21 December 2007, when Slovenia became part of the Schengen area, the Obrežje-Bregana border crossing is a Schengen external crossing. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Spodnjeposavska statistical region.[2]
In February 2010 Obrežje featured as the finish point in a four day winter ultramarathon that started in Rateče, 220 km (140 mi) away.[3]
