Smlednik (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈsmleːdnik/; German: Flödnig[2]) is a village on the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Smlednik is the site of the 18-hole Diners Golf Ljubljana golf course. It can accommodate up to 120 players at the same time.[4]
Smlednik was attested in written sources in 1136 as Fledinich (and as Vlednich in 1214 and Vlednic in 1228). The origin of the name is unclear. A possible derivation is from the common noun Slovenian: smled 'hog's fennel', referring to the local vegetation. Other explanations include the obsolete Slovene common noun Slovenian: smled 'watchpost', or the root *mlědъ 'deciduous woods' or 'sparse woods', but neither of these is linguistically convincing.[5] In the past the German name was Flödnig.[2]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Ulrich (Slovenian: Sveti Urh).[6]
