Orehovica (pronounced [ɔˈɾeːxɔʋitsa]) is a small settlement south of Podnanos in the upper Vipava Valley in the Municipality of Vipava in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2]
Orehovica is a compact village in the valley of Dog Tail Creek (Slovene: Pasji rep), which starts at Vrhi below Lakovec Hill (591 m). Kunovec Creek, a left tributary, joins it in the settlement. The flat areas of the settlement are covered by meadows and fields, and vineyards cover the southern slope of the ridge above the valley. The forest in the settlement extends to Mount Nanos.[3]
