Gornje Ložine (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈɡoːɾnjɛ lɔˈʒiːnɛ/; in older sources also Gorenje Ložine,[2] German: Oberloschin[2] [3]) is a settlement northeast of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[4] The settlement includes the site of the former hamlet of Schweinberg[2] at the foot of Jasnica Hill (German: Schweinberg),[5] now occupied by the formerly abandoned[6] but since renovated Jasnica Recreation and Tourism Center.

History

The Ložine volunteer fire department became a founding unit of the Kočevje municipal fire department on 28 August 1955.[7]

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul and belongs to the Parish of Stara Cerkev. It is a 15th-century late Gothic building that was refurbished in the 19th century. The main altar dates to 1861.[8]
