Krmelj (pronounced [kəɾˈmeːl]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Sevnica in central Slovenia. It lies in the valley of Hinje Creek, a left tributary of the Mirna River. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[2] The history and the development of Krmelj have been significantly influenced by its brown coal mine.
