Stranska Vas pri Žužemberku (pronounced [ˈstɾaːnska ˈʋaːs pɾi ˈʒuːʒɛmbɛɾku]; Slovene: Stranska vas pri Žužemberku, German: Streindorf[2]) is a formerly independent settlement south of the town center of Žužemberk in southeast Slovenia. It belongs to the Municipality of Žužemberk. It is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.
Stranska Vas pri Žužemberku stands on a terrace on the right bank of the Krka River, opposite Žužemberk Castle.[1] It is connected to Žužemberk by a bridge across the river. Bačknica Hill (508 meters or 1,667 feet) and the Žužemberk Woods (Žužemberški boršt), also known as the Town Woods (Trški boršt), stand southwest of the village. There is a walled spring near the summit of Bačknica Hill known as Bačkin studenec.[3]
