History Historically, Dražica was a rural farming community. During the Second World War, the area around Borovnica was significant due to the presence of the Borovnica Viaduct (part of the Southern Railway), and the surrounding settlements, including Dražica, experienced the effects of wartime conflict and post-war reconstruction.
