Kal (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈkaːl/) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi. It is now part of the village of Kolovrat.[1] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
Kal stands southwest of the village center of Kolovrat,[1] below the south slope of Kal Hill (elevation 682m (2,238feet)).
The name Kal literally means 'pond', based on the common noun kal 'pond, watering hole' and referring to a local geographical feature.[2]
Kal was annexed by Kolovrat in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[3] [4]
