Tlaka, Litija
Tlaka () is a settlement south of Gabrovka in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region. Name. Tlaka was attested in written sources as "Prait" in 1360, "Ober Praӱtt" in 1498, and "Natlakach" in 1505, among other names. The name "Tlaka" is derived from the Slovene common noun "tlaka", originally referring to voluntary collective labor, and later to corvée under feudalism. It refers to a place where collective labor was performed. Because  places with this name generally do not lie near old Roman roads, the suggestion that the name is derived from "tlak" 'pavement' is unlikely. History. Traces of a late Bronze Age settlement have been found in the area. The residents of the settlement were once serfs of Turn Manor northwest of the village. Notable people.
