Kal–Koritnica (Italian: Cal - Coritenza, Slovene: Kal-Koritnica) is a village in the Municipality of Bovec in the Littoral region of Slovenia.
There is a monument to Partisans killed in what was one of the worst battles in the Bovec area during the Second World War. This took place on 26 April 1943 on the Golobar alpine pasture, when Italian soldiers surrounded the gathered Partisans and 42 soldiers died in the crossfire. Their bodies were taken into the village to the place where the monument stands today and later transported to Bovec, where they were buried in a mass grave at the local cemetery.[2]
