Tlačnica (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈtlaːtʃinitsa/, in older sources Tlačensa[1]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Moravče in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Peče.[2] [3] The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[4]
Tlačnica lies north of the village center of Peče, on a side road from Zgornje Koseze. It is located on the southeastern slope of Big Peak Hill (Slovenian: Veliki vrh, elevation: 753m (2,470feet)).[2] [3]
Tlačnica had a population of 24 living in four houses in 1880,[1] and 34 living in five houses in 1900.[5] During the Second World War, a Partisan checkpoint operated at the Gašpere farm in Tlačnica.[2] Tlačnica was annexed by Peče in 1952, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[6] [7]
