Stranska Vas, Dobrova–Polhov Gradec

Stranska Vas (pronounced [ˈstɾaːnska ˈʋaːs]; Slovenian: Stranska vas) is a clustered village northeast of Dobrova in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

[2] Stranska Vas lies on the road between Dobrova and Šentvid, Ljubljana on the left bank of Ostrožnik Creek, a tributary of the Gradaščica River.

It extends south to the Gradaščica River, northeast up the slope of Utik Hill, and north across Čep Creek (Slovene: Čepski graben, a tributary of the Ostrožnik) and through the Šujica Woods (Šujski gozd) to the upper course of Ostrožnik Creek beyond Krašec Hill (393 m).

[4] The name literally means 'village on the side' and is derived from the Slovene word stran 'side', referring to the location of the settlement on the slope of a hill.

[5] The wayside shrine southwest of the village, on the road to Dobrova, is protected as a cultural heritage monument.
