Stari Tabor

Stari Tabor (pronounced [ˈstaːɾi ˈtaːbɔɾ]; German: Alttabor,[1] Gottscheerish: Autrtawr[2] or Aotrtawr[3]) is a remote abandoned settlement in the Municipality of Semič in southern Slovenia.

[5] Stari Tabor was located on a slope above the Črmošnjica Valley south of Brezovica pri Črmošnjicah, ranging in elevation between 606 and 620 meters.

[6] The German name of the village, Alttabor, semantically corresponds to Slovene Stari Tabor, literally 'old fortified camp'.

[2] Tabor 'fortified camp' is a relatively common element in Slovene place names and refers to a fortified area, usually on a hilltop but sometimes also narrow valleys or cliffs with caves, where the population could withdraw to shelter from Ottoman raids.

[6] The remaining six inhabitants—the Johann Tramposch family—were evicted from the village on 10 December 1941; the sole house was burned by Italian troops during the Rog Offensive in August 1942.
