Selišče (pronounced [sɛˈliːʃtʃɛ]) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi. It is now part of the village of Kolk.^[1] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.

Geography

Selišče stands southeast of the village center of Kolk,^[1] above the Sava Valley.^[2] It is connected by a side road to Krivica and Jarše, both to the north.

Name

The name Selišče comes from the diminutive common noun selišče 'place to live; hamlet, settlement', derived from selo 'village'. It is thus related to toponyms such as Selo, Sela, Selnica, and Sevnica.^[3]

History

Selišče had a population of six (in two houses) in 1890^[4] and in 1900.^[5] Selišče was annexed by Kolk in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.^[6][7]
