Bača pri Podbrdu (pronounced [ˈbaːtʃa pɾi pɔdˈbəɾdu]) is a dispersed settlement above Podbrdo in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It lies on the southern slopes of Mount Kobla and is a popular starting point for hiking trips into the surrounding peaks of the southern Julian Alps.[2]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Parish of Podbrdo.[3]
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Bača to Bača pri Podbrdu (literally, 'Bača near Podbrdo') in 1955,[4] distinguishing it from nearby Bača pri Modreju. The settlement was attested as Binchinvel in 1377. The origin of the name Bača is uncertain; it may be derived from the Slavic root *bač-, referring to a wet or damp place, or, less likely, from a personal name.[5]
