Viševek (in Slovenian pronounced as /ʋiˈʃeːʋək/, in older sources Uševek,[2] German: Uscheuk[2] [3]) is a village south of Stari Trg pri Ložu in the Municipality of Loška Dolina in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[4]
Viševek includes the hamlet of Bajer (in older sources also Bajar, German: Waier)[3] east of the village center. The word bajer means 'pond' in Slovene, and the hamlet is located next to a small pond.
