Babna Gorica

Babna Gorica (pronounced [ˈbaːbna ɡɔˈɾiːtsa], in older sources Babina Gorica,[3] German: Babnagoritza[4]) is a former settlement in central Slovenia in the southwest part of Lavrica.

Babna Gorica lies southeast of the village center of Lavrica below the north slope of a hill with the same name (elevation 328 meters or 1,076 feet).

[2] The name Bab(i)na Gorica literally means 'old woman's hill'.

[5] Traces of a Roman road were discovered near Babna Gorica during peat excavation.

[1] Babna Gorica was one of the last locations in the Ljubljana Marsh where peat was dug in significant quantities,[2] and a peat litter processing plant was located south of the village.
