Globoko (in Slovenian pronounced as /ɡlɔˈboːkɔ/ or in Slovenian pronounced as /ɡlɔˈbɔːkɔ/) is a small settlement on the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Radovljica in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Geography

Globoko is located in a basin at the confluence of Dobruša Creek with the Sava River. Dobruša Creek flows through Globoko from the north, from the Otok Valley (Slovenian: Otoški graben). There are tilled fields on the terraces above the village.[2]

Name

The name Globoko is shared by several villages in Slovenia (cf. Globoko ob Dravinji, Malo Globoko, etc.). The name arose through ellipsis of *Globoko selo (literally, 'deep village'), referring to a village located in a basin or hollow.[3]
