Livold

Livold (pronounced [ˈliːʋɔlt]; German:Lienfeld, Gottscheerish: Liəwold) is a village in the Kočevje Polje southeast of the town 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. The village stretches along the road connecting Kočevje and Petrina, near the turn to Mozelj. It has a pronounced outline. The Rinža River flows through the village; it often goes dry in the summer but floods during heavy rains. There are many karst caves in the area. The Stojna Ridge and Dry Hill (Slovene:Suhi hrib) rise to the west, and the karstified Šahen lowland lies to the east.
