Geography
Stranska Vas lies on the road between Dobrova and Šentvid, Ljubljana on the left bank of Ostrožnik Creek, a tributary of the Gradaščica River. It extends south to the Gradaščica River, northeast up the slope of Utik Hill, and north across Čep Creek (Slovene: Čepski graben, a tributary of the Ostrožnik) and through the Šujica Woods (Šujski gozd) to the upper course of Ostrožnik Creek beyond Krašec Hill (393 m). The village includes the hamlet of Utik.[3]
Name
Stranska Vas was first mentioned in 1376 under the semi-German name Strandörf (Strandorff in 1414, Stranstorff in 1431). In the past it was known as Stranskawaß in German.[4] The name literally means 'village on the side' and is derived from the Slovene word stran 'side', referring to the location of the settlement on the slope of a hill.[5]
Architectural heritage
The wayside shrine southwest of the village, on the road to Dobrova, is protected as a cultural heritage monument. It dates from the 19th century (renovated in 1997) and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.[6]
