Tošč
Tošč () is the highest hill in the Polhov Gradec Hills. The neighbouring hill Pasja Ravan () used to be the highest before Yugoslav Army reduced its height by eight meters in the 1970s. Name Like nearby Toško Čelo, the name ''Tošč'' is ultimately derived from the Slovene adjective 'fat', referring to the mountain's wide base and gentle summit.
