Slatnik (pronounced [ˈslaːtnik]) is a 1,598-meter (5,243 ft) mountain in northwestern Slovenia.[2][3] It stands southwest of the Sorica Plateau.[1]
Name
[edit]The name Slatnik appears in Slovenia as both an oronym and a settlement name (e.g., Slatnik, Veliki Slatnik, etc.). Like related names (e.g., Slatenik), it is derived from the common noun slatina 'spring with salty or acidic water', referring to a local geographical feature.[4]
