Zgornja Dobrava (pronounced as /sl/) is a settlement in the Municipality of Radovljica in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Zgornja Dobrava was attested in written sources as Oberhard in 1351 and Hard in 1368.[2] The name Zgornja Dobrava literally means 'upper Dobrava' and reflects its elevation contrast with neighboring Srednja Dobrava (literally, 'middle Dobrava', about 11m (36feet) lower) and Spodnja Dobrava (literally, 'lower Dobrava', about 28m (92feet) lower). The place name Dobrava is relatively frequent in Slovenia. It is derived from the Slovene common noun dobrava 'gently rolling partially wooded land' (and archaically 'woods, grove'). The name therefore refers to the local geography.[3]
