Ladja

Ladja () is a settlement on the left bank of the Sora River in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Name.
Ladja was attested in historical sources in 1318 as "Schaph" (and as "zum Scheff" in 1439, "Schepph" in 1444, and "Naladia" and "Naladi" in 1763–1787). Both the modern Slovenian name and the Middle High German names mean 'ship', probably referring to a place on the Sora River where a ferry operated. The settlement may be the same as one attested in 973 under the name "Stressoubrod" (presumably 'Stres's ferry').
Church.
The local church is dedicated to Saint Peter.
