Koritnica (pronounced [kɔˈɾiːtnitsa]) is a village on the right bank of the Bača River in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia.

Name

Koritnica was attested in written sources in 1377 as Coritinicha. Like related names (e.g., Koritnice, Koritno, and Korita), the name is derived from the common noun korito 'trough; river bed', referring to the configuration of a local river or stream.

Trivia

The village was one of the filming locations for the 1948 film On Our Own Land.
