Polhov Gradec
Polhov Gradec (; (ドイツ語:Billichgrätz))〔''Intelligenzblatt zur Laibacher Zeitung'', no. 141. 1849, p. 13.〕 is a settlement in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is the center of the Upper Gradaščica Valley.〔(Dobrova–Polhov Gradec municipal site )〕
==Name==
Polhov Gradec was first mentioned in written records under the German name ''Pilchgrez'' in 1261 (''Pilchgraez'' in 1269, and simply ''Graetz'' in 1291; cf. modern-era German ''Billichgrätz''). All of these are derived from the Slovene name for the settlement, with the last element ''‑grätz'' derived from Slovene ''gradec'' 'little castle'. The first part of the name is derived from a personal name, ''Polh'' or ''Povh''; the name therefore means 'Polh's (little) castle'. The name ''Polh'' is, in turn, probably derived from the zoonym ''polh'' 'dormouse'. An alternative theory, considered less likely, derives ''Polh'' from the name ''Pavel'' 'Paul'.〔Snoj, Marko. 2009. ''Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen''. Ljubljana: Modrijan and Založba ZRC, p. 318.〕
A folk legend offers a more fanciful, but unfounded, explanation of the name of the settlement. According to the legend, which is reproduced in material for tourists, a traveler once spent the night at Polhov Gradec Castle. When he woke up in the morning he found that the dormice had eaten his horse's saddle and bridle, causing him to exclaim, "To ni Gradec, temveč Polhov Gradec!" ('This isn't a castle, it's a dormouse castle!').〔(The Blagaj Trail (tourist brochure) ) 〕
