Paški Kozjak is a settlement in the Velenje municipality in northern Slovenia. It lies in the hills to the east of the town of Velenje. The area was traditionally part of Styria. The entire municipality is now included in the Savinja statistical region.[2]
The area was the site of a battle in the Second World War between Slovene partisans and the Nazi German armed forces, which took place in the night between January 17 and 18, 1944 when the partizans tried to break through German lines to reach the Pohorje hills. The event and the partizans killed during the operation are commemorated with a granite monument.[3]
