Parent range	Polhov Gradec Hills

Tošč (1,021 metres or 3,350 feet) is the highest hill in the Polhov Gradec Hills. The neighbouring hill Pasja Ravan (1,020 m or 3,350 ft) used to be the highest before Yugoslav Army reduced its height by eight meters in the 1970s.

Name

Like nearby Toško Čelo, the name Tošč is ultimately derived from the Slovene adjective tolst 'fat', referring to the mountain's wide base and gentle summit. No medieval transcriptions of the name are known, but it probably developed from a form such as *Tolstič 'the fat one'.
