TheInfoList



OR:

Laniše (; in older sources also ''Lanišče'', german: Lanische) is a dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.


Name

The name ''Laniše'' is a dialect alteration of the older form ''Lanišče''. The name is derived from the common noun ''lan'' 'flax', referring to a place where flax was grown.


Geography

Laniše is a scattered rural settlement in the upper part of the Tunjščica Valley. Tunjščica Creek, a tributary of the Pšata River, flows through the village from the north and the valley begins to widen at this point. The village lies in a protected position walled in by mountains on three sides, open only to the south, creating favorable conditions for fruit cultivation.
