Mass grave


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.[2]



Pristava Lodge


Its best-known landmark is Pristava, a popular excursion point centered on the Pristava House, built in 1647 and recently renovated.[3] 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.
