Geography

The old village center of Sap stands along the old road from Ljubljana to Grosuplje on the northeast slope of Globošček Hill (elevation: 401 meters or 1,316 feet). Newer houses stand to the northwest. The Mahovje meadows lie below the settlement to the north, near the railroad. The Vodotuča Valley lies north of the railroad, where there are more meadows and tilled fields.[1]

Name

The settlement was attested in 1763–1787 as Sapp oder Ispe (the latter is a genitive form, iz Spa 'from Sap'). The name is derived from the Slovene common noun sap 'embankment'.[3]
