Pliskovica is a village located in municipality of Sežana with a few hundred house numbers and around 220 inhabitants. In the village and around it the White wagtail, a tiny little bird, found its habitat. Most probably it was its lively character the cause, that herders, who probably were the first to inhabit these places, named the same lively sheep and goats wagtails. And this was the origin of the villages’ name. The village is one of the biggest villages, which is located in the middle of vast Karst plateaus, only 10 kilometres away from the coast of Adriatic sea. Around the village we find vast vineyards from which they produce wine Teran. On Karst pastures we can found sheep and goats, and also cows and horses. Karst is not short of rocks, which inhabitants of the village know how to beautifully chisel and shape. It is nice to take a walk or ride a bike in this Karstic landscape. In the vicinity of the village is arranged Karstic didactic path.
