Nadgorica (pronounced [ˈnaːdɡɔɾitsa]; German: Nadgoritz[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.[1] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]
Nadgorica is a clustered settlement at the foot of Soteska Hill (405 m). It consists of two groups of houses; the older part lies north of the road from Črnuče to Litija at the foot of the hill. The other, newer part lies south of the main road and extends to Ježa. The soil in the area is sandy, and there are fields north, west, and south of the settlement.[1]
