Planina (pronounced [plaˈniːna]; German: Stockendorf[2][3]) is a village in the Municipality of Semič in Slovenia. It lies on the southern slopes of Mount Mirna (Slovene: Mirna gora) in the southern part of Kočevski Rog. It was inhabited by Gottschee Germans that were expelled in 1941 during the Second World War. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[4]

The local parish church is dedicated to the Prophet Elijah and belongs to Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was built in around 1730 and extended in the late 18th century. It was renovated in the early 21st century.[5]
