Gornje Ložine (pronounced [ˈgoːrnjɛ lɔˈʒiːnɛ]; in older sources also Gorenje Ložine,[2] German: Oberloschin[2][3]) is a settlement northeast of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[4] The settlement includes the site of the former hamlet of Schweinberg[2] at the foot of Jasnica Hill (German: Schweinberg),[5] now occupied by the abandoned Jasnica Recreation and Tourism Center.[6]

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul and belongs to the Parish of Stara Cerkev. It is a 15th-century late Gothic building that was refurbished in the 19th century. The main altar dates to 1861.[7]
