Geography

The Skaručna Basin has a characteristic mixed cultural landscape, with meadows, tilled fields, pastures, watercourses, vegetation corridors, hedgerows, isolated hills, and settlements on the edge of the floodplain.[2] Graben Creek starts at Loess Pond (Slovene: Phliški bajer or Puhliški bajer,[3] also known as Koseze Pond, Koseški bajer[4]) in the northeast part of the basin; the pond is a former clay pit created about 200 years ago where ice was also harvested until the First World War.[4] Graben Creek runs along the southeast edge of the basin, fed by Brodnek Spring, Smrekar Spring (Slovene: Smrekarjev studenec), and Štefan Spring (Slovene: Štefanov studenec) The basin includes the settlements of Vojsko, Skaručna, Vesca, Selo pri Vodicah, and Šinkov Turn.[5]
