Golo (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈɡɔːlɔ/, German: Golu[1]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Vodice in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Selo pri Vodicah. The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]

Geography

Golo lies in the Skaručna Basin northeast of Selo pri Vodicah. The soil is loamy.[3]

Name

The name Golo is derived from the Slovene adjective gol 'bare', referring to a place where the forest was cleared.[4] In some older sources, the names of Golo and Selo were written together as a paired settlement; for example, Selo-Golo[5] or Selo in Golo (German: Sela und Golu).[1]

History

Golo was annexed by Selo pri Vodicah in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[6] [7]
