Zagorice, Bled

Zagorice (pronounced [zaɡɔˈɾiːcɛ], also Zagorica[2][3][4] and formerly Bled–Zagorice;[5] German: Auriz[2][6] or Auritz[3][4]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Bled in northwestern Slovenia.

Roads to Spodnje Gorje, Koritno, and Ribno branch off from Zagorice.

[7] Zagorice (a plural name) was attested in written sources as Aulatsch in 1253, Anraze in 1287, and Auratsch between 1306 and 1309, among other spellings, as well as Sagoritz between 1493 and 1501.

[1] Zagorice was merged with other villages to create the town of Bled in 1960, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
