Jesenovec (pronounced [jɛsɛˈnoːʋəts]; in older sources also Jesenovc) is a formerly independent settlement in the Municipality of Železniki in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the town of Železniki.
Geography
Jesenovec is a scattered settlement along the road from Škofja Loka to Petrovo Brdo in the upper Selca Sora Valley between Plešenica Creek and Upper Smoleva Creek (Slovene: Zadnja Smoleva). It includes the Plenšak Gorge below Prtovč and the Blok and Slap gorges below Štedel Peak (Slovene: Štedel vrh; elevation: 1,145 meters or 3,757 feet). Other nearby elevations include Mount Groblje (elevation: 1,086 meters or 3,563 feet) and Grebel Peak (Slovene: Grebel vrh; elevation: 1,348 meters or 4,423 feet) to the northwest and Mount Vancovec (elevation: 1,085 meters or 3,560 feet) to the southeast.
Name
The name Jesenovec is derived from the common noun jesen 'ash tree', thus originally referring to the local vegetation.
