Name

The name of the village was changed from Nova vas (literally, 'new village') to Nova vas pod Rifnikom ('new village below Rifnik') in 1953 in order to differentiate it from other settlements with the same name.[5]

Geography

Nova Vas pod Rifnikom lies below the northeast slope of Rifnik Hill (elevation 568 meters or 1,864 feet) above the left bank of the Voglajna River. The houses stand on a fluvial terrace, below which is a damp flood plain with meadows. The soil is loose and has a low loam content.[2]

History

Nova Vas pod Rifnikom was annexed by Šentjur in 1984, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[5][6][7]
