Geography
Gabrovo is a clustered village on a sunny terrace below Little Mount Lubnik (Mali Lubnik, elevation: Шаблон:Convert). Hiking trails connect the village to Vincarje and Škofja Loka to the east, and to Mount Lubnik (elevation: Шаблон:Convert) to the northwest. The Rant Shaft (Ranotovo brezno) lies directly north of the village, and Lubnik Cave (Lubniška jama) and Kevdrc Cave lie to the northwest.[2]
History
The ruins of the oldest castle in the Skofja Loka region stand just east of Gabrovo at an elevation called Stari grad 'old castle' (Шаблон:Convert). The castle, originally named Wildenlack,[3] dates back to the 12th or 13th century and was first mentioned in written sources in the 14th century. The remnants of the surrounding Romanesque wall and the foundations of other structures are visible at the site.[4][5]
A water main to Gabrovo was installed in 1895; the catchment stands below Mount Lubnik.[2]

Grave one contains the remains of seven German prisoners of war that were forced to bury the victims in grave two. Grave two contains the remains of 20 Home Guard soldiers from the prison at Loka Castle.[6][7]
