V Zideh (pronounced [w ziˈdeːx]) is a settlement east of Trojane in the Municipality of Lukovica in the eastern part of the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2] The settlement includes the main hamlet of V Zideh southeast of Trojane as well as the hamlet of Podzid (in older sources also Pod Zidom,[3] German: Podsid[3]) northeast of Trojane.[4]
V Zideh is also known locally as Zide.[4] The name V Zideh literally means 'in the walls/fortification', the name of the hamlet Podzid or Pod Zidom literally means 'below the wall/fortification', and the local name Zide is originally an accusative plural meaning 'walls/fortifications'. All of these names are connected with a Roman-era defensive wall.[4][5]
History
In the 2nd century AD, V Zideh was connected with the Roman way station at Trojane, the defensive wall of which extended to the hamlets of V Zideh and Podzid. Slavic settlement at V Zideh was attested in 1444. Teamsters used to rest their horses at V Zideh before making the climb to Trojane.[4]
