Rašica, Ljubljana

Rašica (pronounced [ɾaˈʃiːtsa]; German: Uranschitz[2]) is a small village in the hills above Srednje Gameljne north of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.

[3] Rašica is a clustered village on a westward-facing sun-exposed slope below Stane Kosec Peak (Slovene: Vrh Staneta Kosca), a 641-meter (2,103 ft) limestone elevation.

The steep limestone Reber Ridge rises above the village and contains karst caves.

The Slovenian name of the village was originally *Vranščica, derived from the personal name *Vran via the adjective *vranski, referring to an early inhabitant of the area.

The local church is dedicated to the Holy Cross and belongs to the Parish of Šmartno pod Šmarno Goro.
