Geography
The main part of Čolnišče consists of two hamlets: Zgornje Čolnišče and Spodnje Čolnišče[3] (literally, 'upper' and 'lower' Čolnišče). Other hamlets in the settlement are Krbulje and Prečna. The village lies above a small valley with an intermittent spring; when it is flowing, the resulting stream disappears into the ground at Prečna. The soil is loamy and fertile.[3]
Church
