Mount Olševa (pronounced [ˈoːu̯ʃɛʋa]; German Ouschewa) is a ridge mountain in the eastern part of the Karawanks near the border with Austria. The mountain separates Carinthia from Styria. Its highest point, Govca, is 1,929 meters (6,329 ft) high. Other peaks along the 5-kilometer (3.1 mi) ridge are Obel kamen on the western side, and Smooth Peak (Gladki vrh) and Pretty Peak (Lepi vrh) on the eastern part. About 200 meters (660 ft) below Obel kamen lies Potok Cave (Slovene: Potočka zijalka), an archaeological site from the Stone Age.
