Bobovek (pronounced [bɔˈbɔːʋək] or [bɔˈboːʋək]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]

To the west of the settlement, two former clay pits have formed small lakes with a unique biotope, which is now a protected nature reserve. Mammoth remains, as well as fossilized remains of shoals of common dace, have been discovered in the clay layers.[3]
