Vrtovče (pronounced [ˈʋəɾtɔu̯tʃɛ]) is a small village in the hills south of the Vipava Valley in the Municipality of Ajdovščina in the Littoral region of Slovenia.

Nearby elevations include Školj Hill (418 meters or 1,371 feet) to the west, Sharp Peak (Ostri vrh, 422 meters or 1,385 feet) to the southeast, and Tibot Hill (392 meters or 1,286 feet) to the south.

The name Pralo comes from the verb prati 'to wash' because the clean water of the creek was used for laundering.

[4] A reservoir and water trough were built at Pri Studencu in 1903 to supply workers building the section of the Bohinj Railway between Dornberk and Štanjel.
