Polhov Gradec Hills

The Polhov Gradec Hills (Slovene: Polhograjsko hribovje, also Polhograjski Dolomiti, Polhograjci, and Pograjci) are a pre-Alpine hilly region of northwestern Slovenia.

In 1971, a proposal was put forward to protect the region as a nature park, but it was never formally adopted.

[1] The hills are named after Polhov Gradec, the central settlement in the range.

In German, they were known as the Billichgra(t)zer Gebirge[2][3] or Billichgra(t)zer Bergen[4][5] (both based on the German name for Polhov Gradec).

Slovene geographers have rejected the Slovene name Polhograjski Dolomiti (literally, Polhov Gradec Dolomites) as inappropriate.
