Nunska Graba (pronounced [ˈnuːnska ˈɡɾaːba]; German: Schützenberg[2]) is a settlement in the hills southeast of Ljutomer in northeastern Slovenia, close to the border with Croatia.
[3] The name Nunska graba literally means 'nuns' ravine'.
Nuns are said to have formerly lived in the Kodolitsch vineyard cottage in the settlement, which may be the origin of the name.
The owners included the Diocese of Graz-Seckau, the Dominican monastery in Graz, and the Kodolitsch family of Bad Radkersburg, and prior to this Rein Abbey north of Graz and the Scheit noble family, after whom the grape variety šajtovšca is named.
