Name

The name of the settlement literally means 'creek, stream'. The village stands on the right bank of Potok Creek, a tributary of the Temenica River. Potok Creek is usually dry, but during heavy rain it is fed by Škavba Spring at Mačji Dol Cave (Marovška zijalka) and the water then flows south through the Mačji Dol Valley (Marovška dolina).[3]

gollark: Stuff like the proof of Fermat's last theorem required connecting together a bunch of disconnected-looking areas of maths in very clever ways. There's more to that than just "practice", by most definitions of practice.
gollark: If you want to solve "the most difficult solvable equation in the world" you're probably going to have to come up with a lot of new techniques.
gollark: Practising stuff will make you better at what you're already able to do mostly.
gollark: No you won't.
