Olševa

About

Mount Olševa (pronounced [ˈoːu̯ʃɛʋa], German Olschewa) is a ridge mountain in the eastern part of the Karawanks near the border with Austria. The mountain separates Carinthia from Styria. Its highest point, Govca, is 1,929 meters (6, 329 ft) high. Other peaks along the 5-kilometer (3.1 mi) ridge are Obel kamen on the western side, and Smooth Peak (Gladki vrh) and Pretty Peak (Lepi vrh) on the eastern part. About 200 meters (660 ft) below Obel kamen lies Potok Cave (Slovene: Potočka zijalka), an archaeological site from the Stone Age. To the southwest of the mountain, at an altitude of 1,115 m (3, 658 ft), there is a chalybeate (iron-rich) spring.
