Šavna Peč (pronounced as /sl/, de|Schaunapetsch[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Hrastnik in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.[3]
Šavna Peč lies on a fertile plateau on the south (sunny) side of the hills, about 100m (300feet) above the steep left bank of the Sava River. It is sheltered by a similar (partly rocky) slope above it.
Šavna Peč is the birthplace of Antón Sovrè, a Slovenian classical philologist, high school educator, and translator.[4] There is a small museum in an old granary with a standing ethnology exhibition and some of Sovrè's works. The museum and the settlement are registered as a cultural heritage site.
The Sovrè Trail (sl|Sovrétova pot) leads from the valley below to the village, and a traditional commemorative hike has been held on it on every first Saturday in October since 2004.[5]
