The Gradaščica is a river in Slovenia. The river is 33 km (21 mi) long.^[1] It begins in Polhov Gradec at the confluence of Little Creek (Slovene: Mala Voda) and Big Božna Creek. Near Vrhovci it is joined by Horjulščica Creek (also known as Horjulka Creek). Not far past Bokalce, most of the stream is split off into the Mali Graben and the rest continues as the Gradaščica (also known as the Mestna Gradaščica 'Town Gradaščica'). This continues through the Vrhovci neighborhood into the Vič District, where it is joined by Glinščica Creek, before continuing into the Trnovo District and emptying into the Ljubljanica.

Name

The Gradaščica was attested in historical sources as min[us] flum[en] dict[um] Laybach in 1271, flumen minus dictum Laybach in 1277, mino[r] Laybac[us] in 1330, and chlain Laiboch in 1397, all meaning 'little Ljubljanica'. The names Gradaschitza and Grabaschitza are attested in 1763–1787. The name Gradaščica is a univerbation of *Gradaška voda '(Polhov) Gradec River', derived from its headwaters in Polhov Gradec.^[2]

History

In 2022, torrential rains caused the river to flood, with unusually severe flooding downstream.^[3]
