The name Spodnja Lipnica literally means 'lower Lipnica', distinguishing the village from neighboring Zgornja Lipnica (literally, 'upper Lipnica'), which stands at an elevation 29 meters (95 ft) higher. The name Lipnica, like related names (e.g., Lipa, Lipnik, Lipovec, etc.), is derived from the Slovene common noun lipa 'linden', referring to the local vegetation.[2]
Mass graveedit
Spodnja Lipnica is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Garden Cave Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Jama za vrtcem) is located in the woods west of the settlement, in a cave 8 to 10 meters (26 to 33 ft) deep. It contained the remains of seven Slovene civilians from Radovljica that were murdered on May 29, 1945.[3]
