==Geography== thumbnail|left|Mlinščica Creek Dolsko lies on the edge of a terrace 2 to 3 m high above the Sava River just west of the point where the Sava leaves the relatively flat Sava Basin and enters hilly territory. Mlinščica Creek (also known locally as Mežca Creek), a tributary of the Sava, flows through the southern outskirts of the settlement. The soil is sandy and fertile.<ref name="Savnik">Savnik, Roman, ed. 1971. ''Krajevni leksikon Slovenije'', vol. 2.
