Ponoviče (pronounced [pɔnɔˈʋiːtʃɛ]; Template:Lang-de[2]) is a settlement along the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia. The railway line from Ljubljana to Zidani Most runs through the settlement. Traditionally the area was part of Styria and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.[3] The settlement includes the hamlets of Mačkovina and Smrekarica.[4]
