Globočice pri Kostanjevici (pronounced [ɡlɔbɔˈtʃiːtsɛ pɾi kɔˈstaːnjɛʋitsa]; in older sources also Globočica,[2] German: Globoschitz[2]) is a settlement southeast of Kostanjevica na Krki in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3] The settlement includes the hamlets of Slinovce, Banji Vrh, and Žaga.[4] An estate known as Švajcarija (German: Schweizerhaus)[2] was abandoned after the Second World War.[4]
