Velika Raven, Lukovica

Velika Raven (pronounced [ˈʋeːlika ˈɾaːʋən], , locally [ˈʋeːlka ˈɾaːu̯n], also Veliki Raven,[2] Velika Ravan,[1][3] German: Welkaraun[3]) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Lukovica.

Velika Raven is a small high-elevation settlement on the western slope of Kamnec Hill (elevation: 862 meters or 2,828 feet), on the watershed between the Bolska and Motnišnica rivers.

[1] It lies northwest of the main hamlet in Hribi.

[3] The name literally means 'large flat area', referring to level terrain in hilly territory, from the common noun raven or ravan 'level area, plain', related to names such as Raven, Ravne, Ravnica, and Ravnace.

[9] Velika Raven was annexed by Hribi in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
