Name

Golišče was attested in historical sources as Guletsch in 1406, Guleͣtsch in 1407, and Golitsch in 1444.[4][5] The name of the village is probably derived from the verb goliti in the sense of 'to clearcut', referring to a place that was clearcut. Other possibilities are derivation from gol 'young tree trunk' or 'bare, unforested area'.[5]

gollark: Heresy.
gollark: Calculators... generally still seem to be a scam, though.
gollark: Anyway, at my school we mostly use(d) Casio FX-991EX calculators, which have lots of nice features.

gollark: The mildly-higher-res display lets it display square roots and fractions nicely.
