Rožca (in older sources also Rožčica;[2] German: Rosenbachsattel) is a grassy high-elevation mountain pass over the western Karawanks. The saddle is located between Hrušica Peak (Slovene: Hruški vrh) and Mount Klek, and straddles the border between Slovenia and Austria, above the town of Jesenice. Its slopes serve as sheep pastures.
