The Rožnik District (pronounced [ˈɾoːʒnik] (About this soundlisten); Slovene: Četrtna skupnost Rožnik), or simply Rožnik, is a (mestna četrt) of the City Municipality of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It is named after Rožnik Hill.

Geography[]

The Rožnik District is bounded on the southeast by the railroad from Ljubljana to Sežana; on the southwest by the A2 Freeway, the Gradaščica River, and a line across Utik Hill; and on the north by Youth Street (Mladinska ulica) and a line across Rožnik Hill. The district consists of much of Rožnik Hill, part of Tivoli City Park, the Ljubljana Zoo, the former villages of Bokalce, , Rožna Dolina, and Vrhovci, and the neighborhood along Podrožnik Lane (Podrožniška pot) known as "Partizanska Vas" (literally, 'Partisan village').[2][3]
