Lanišče

Lanišče is a Slovenian word that refers to a field or area of land that has been recently cleared or prepared for cultivation, especially by burning off vegetation. It implies a patch of land that has been worked on for agricultural purposes, often resulting in a distinct appearance compared to the surrounding uncultivated land. The term can also refer to newly broken ground. The size of a lanišče can vary. The process of creating a lanišče may involve removing trees, shrubs, or other natural growth and then possibly burning the remaining debris to enrich the soil or to prepare it for planting crops. Historically, creating lanišča was a common practice in certain agricultural systems in Slovenia.
