Geography

Cave entrance in Vodice nad Kamnikom

Vodice nad Kamnikom lies on a high level area on the northwest slope of Vovar Hill (940 meters or 3,080 feet). The lower end of the village is swampy, and in the higher parts the soil is loamy and stony with good sun exposure. Oševek Creek (a.k.a. Uševk), a tributary of the Nevljica River, starts at a spring south of the village center.[2] The entrance to a natural cave that extends under Brezje nad Kamnikom[2] lies along the road to Vodice nad Kamnikom.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Vodice to Vodice nad Kamnikom (literally, 'Vodice above Kamnik') in 1953.[3]

gollark: I'm going to assume it doesn't work anyway, as Discord isn't displaying an embed for it.
gollark: You don't have a dynamic IP or something?
gollark: Also, can you access this? I'm testing if my network's IPv6 address thingies are externally accessible. http://[2a00:23c7:5401:a500:946e:383d:f790:3cea]:19999
gollark: I might have to rewrite it in Rust to make it work properly.
