Spodnje Ribče (pronounced [ˈspoːdnjɛ ˈɾiːptʃɛ], German: Unterfischern)[1] is a former settlement in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Ribče.[2] The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.[3]
Geography
[edit]Spodnje Ribče stands on the left bank of the Sava River, in the eastern part of the territory of Ribče, along the road from Litija to Dol pri Ljubljani.[4] Janček Creek (Slovene: Jančkov graben), a tributary of the Sava, flows through the hamlet.
Name
[edit]The name Spodnje Ribče means 'lower Ribče'. The settlement stands about 11 meters (36 ft) lower in elevation than neighboring Zgornje Ribče (literally, 'upper Ribče').
History
[edit]Spodnje Ribče had a population of 55 living in 9 houses in 1900.[1] Together with Dašnik and Zgornje Ribče, Spodnje Ribče was combined into a single settlement called Ribče in 1953, ending any existence it had as a separate settlement.[5]
