Zasip

Zasip (pronounced [ˈzaːsip]; German: Asp) is a village in the Municipality of Bled in the Upper Carniola region of northwestern Slovenia.

The name is derived from the prepositional phrase *za sipi 'behind the upper part of a scree slope', thus referring to the local geographical feature.

When the settlement was first mentioned in a 1075 deed, the area belonged to the Imperial March of Carniola.

It was originally a Gothic building, although it was renovated to a large extent in the Baroque style in 1778.

A small church dedicated to Saint Catherine stands on Hom Hill above the village.
