Ravne (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈɾáːwnɛ/; German: Raune[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Šoštanj in northern Slovenia. It lies in the Mozirje Hills (Slovenian: Mozirske planine) north of the town of Šoštanj. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. The entire municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[3]
The local church is dedicated to the Holy Spirit and belongs to the Parish of Šoštanj. It dates to the second half of the 16th century.[4] The ruins of Forhtenek Castle, a 14th-century castle destroyed in a peasants' revolt in 1635, are still visible on a hill above the settlement.[5]
