Črnec Creek is a stream of Slovenia. It is a left tributary of the Ledava near Čentiba.
It has its source south of Murska Sobota and flows southeastward. It is joined by Dobel Creek between Beltinci and Odranci, flows past the village of Odranci, and is then joined by Black Creek north of Kapca. After passing southwest of Lendava, it flows parallel to the Ledava River before emptying into the Ledava southwest of Čentiba. The stream is about 26 kilometers long.
The name Črnec means 'the black one'. The creek was attested in historical documents in 1244 as Cernech, and in Hungarian in the 20th century as Csernec patak. Like similar names of streams, the semantic motivation for the name is a creek that flows through a dark soil bed or that carries dark, turbid water.

Peklenica is a village in Međimurje County, Croatia. It is located 3.1 km from Mursko Središće, 11 km from Čakovec, and is adjacent to Križovec and Vratišinec. As of the 2011 census, there were 1217 inhabitants.
Peklenica is known for its natural source of crude oil known to local population since at least the Middle Ages. The toponym, first recorded in 1391, is derived from words paklina or pekel, which is what the locals called the greasy substance they used for lubrication of horse-drawn carriages as well as for medicinal purposes. According to Ottoman explorer Evliya Çelebi's writings, the town of Szigetvár was burnt during the 1566 siege using oil from Peklenica.
The oil was first commercially exploited by count Georg Festetics in 1856, arguably predating the well-known Drake Well in Pennsylvania by three years. From the 1880s to the early 20th century, Viennese entrepreneur Wilhelm Singer drilled dozens of oil wells in the village. Due to diminishing returns, oil exploitation in Peklenica ended in 1967.
