The name Javorniški Rovt literally means 'Javornik meadow', referring to the geographical location of the settlement. The common noun rovt 'glade, clearing', refers to a meadow on cleared land in a hilly area and is derived from Old High Germanrût 'clearing'. The noun occurs in various other settlement names in Slovenia (e.g., Rovt, Rovte, Rut).[2]
Mass graveedit
Javorniški Rovt is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Jezerce Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Jezerce) lies northeast of the settlement in an area that was part of a test excavation for dredging and damming Javornik Creek to create a reservoir for a hydroelectric plant. It contains the remains of nine Home Guard soldiers from the Selca or Poljane valley that were murdered in early May 1945.[3]
Pristava Lodgeedit
Its best-known landmark is Pristava, a popular excursion point centered on the Pristava House, built in 1647 and recently renovated.[4] The building belonged to the nobleman and Enlightenment figure Sigmund Zois, who established a botanical park featuring interesting local and imported trees that is now named after him.
