Lesno Brdo (pronounced [ˈleːsnɔ ˈbəɾdɔ]; German: Hölzenegg[2]) in the Municipality of Vrhnika in Slovenia is a continuation of the settlement of Lesno Brdo in the neighbouring Municipality of Horjul. Because it belongs to a different municipality, its population and administrative statistics are always stated separately.[3]

Lesno Brdo is best known for its red limestone quarries.[4]
