Krajevna skupnost Jarenina, Local community in Pesnica, Slovenia

Krajevna skupnost Jarenina is a local community in the Municipality of Pesnica made up of seven settlements: Jareninski Dol, Jareninski Vrh, Polička vas, Polički Vrh, Vajgen, Vukovski Dol and Vukovski Vrh. The bottom of the Jareninski potok valley divides Jareninski Vrh on the east from Jareninski Dol on the west. The settlement stretches 3.5 km along the road between Šentilj and Pernica, at 280–340 m above sea level.

Jarenina is first documented in 1139, when Archbishop Konrad I of Salzburg granted estates around the Jareninski potok to Admont Abbey, including the parish church. The church was recorded as a parish in 1160, and in 1202 Archbishop Eberhard II confirmed Admont's right to it, entrusting it to secular priests. The Jarenina parish later headed a deanery covering Svečina, Lenart, Šentilj, Spodnja Kungota, Jakobski dol and other parishes.

The area is roughly 10 kilometers from the Šentilj border crossing and easily accessible from Maribor for day visits. It works well for walking and exploring the countryside at a leisurely pace.

The name comes from 'jarkovina' or the German 'Jaring', referring to cleared and worked land. This naming reflects the region's long history of farming and settlement.
