Bavšica (Italian: Bausizza) is a dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Bovec in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It lies in a glacial valley below Mount Bavšica Grintovec (Slovene: Bavški Grintavec) in the Julian Alps.^[2] The valley also hosts the Bavšica Hiking Training Center (Slovene: Planinsko učno središče Bavšica) (PUS Bavšica^[3]) the main educational center of the Alpine Association of Slovenia.^[4]

Name

Bavšica was attested in written sources in 1763–87 as Bauschiza. The name is derived from the Slovene common noun balha (dialect bau̯ha) 'matgrass', referring to the local vegetation. A less likely explanation is that the name is derived from the adjective *balh 'whitish, pale'.^[5]
