Vodice (pronounced [ʋɔˈdiːtsɛ], German: Wodize[1]) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi. It is now part of the village of Jablana.[2] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
Vodice stands northeast of the village center of Jablana.[2] It is accessible by a side road that passes below Holy Cross Church parallel to the main road to Čolnišče.
The name Vodice is ultimately derived from the Slovene common noun vodica, a diminutive of voda 'water, creek'. The name may therefore be based on the singular locative form *Vodicě (literally, 'by the small creek'), or it may have originally been plural, referring to springs in the area.[3]
Vodice had a population of 28 (in three houses) in 1890[4] and 21 (in three houses) in 1900.[5] Together with Kal, Vodice was annexed by Jablana in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6][7]
