Sestranska Vas (pronounced [sɛˈstɾaːnska ˈʋaːs], Slovene: Sestranska vas, German: Sestranskawas[2]) is a former village in northwestern Slovenia in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane.

Sestranska Vas lies on the right bank of the Poljane Sora River,[3] between the former village of Trata to the southwest and the old center of Gorenja Vas to the northeast.

[1] Sestranska Vas was attested in Latin in 1291 as in Polan ex altera parte aque 'on the other side of the water in [the Parish of] Poljane',[4] and in German in the 18th century as Schwesterdorf (literally, 'sister village').

[5][6] The name Sestranska Vas is related to the frequent Slovenian toponym Stranska vas (literally, 'side village'), and it either refers to a place of secondary importance in comparison to a nearby larger and older settlement[4] or indicates its location on the (other) side of the river.
