Bavšica (pronounced [ˈbaːu̯ʃitsa]; Italian: Bausizza) is a dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Bovec in the Littoral region of Slovenia.

Geography

Bavšica lies in a glacial valley below Mount Bavšica Grintovec (Slovene: Bavški Grintavec) in the Julian Alps to the east and the Log Cliff (Slovene: Loška stena, Italian: Parete di Bretto) to the north. The valley also hosts the Bavšica Hiking Training Center (Slovene: Planinsko učno središče Bavšica) (PUS Bavšica), the main educational center of the Alpine Association of Slovenia.

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'.
