Šilentabor (; in older sources also Tabor, ) is a small settlement north of Zagorje in the Municipality of Pivka in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. It lies on a 751 m high hill called Šilen Tabor, which is a part of Slavniški ravnik, a hill chain that separates the Pivka Basin from the Reka Valley.
==Name== The name of the settlement was changed from Tabor to Tabor nad Knežakom in 1955. The name was changed again to Šilentabor in 2000. The name originates from the time of Turkish invasions, when it was used as a shelter from Turkish soldiers. At that time, tabor meant 'shelter' and the word silen used to mean 'strong'. There are also some unofficial names, such as Šilentabor nad Zagorjem.
