RE: Weekend in Slovenia *(Savica, Vogel, Bohinj, Ojstrica, Bled)
Looks lovely.
Vogel means bird in Dutch. Does it have any meaning over there?

It also means "bird" in German. That could be the origin...
The second explanation I've found is based on XVI century Slovenian-Latin dictionary that describes vogel / vogal as "angle".
During the centuries, Slovenian V became Serbian U, and L if the last letter, often becames O in South Slavic Languages, so today Serbs say "ugao". In conclusion, it could be Slavic as well.
