Geography
editLavtarski Vrh stands on a ridge where the crests of Hrastnik Hill (806 meters or 2,644 feet) and Planica Hill (823 meters or 2,700 feet) meet. It received a modern road connection in 1965, when the road from Stražišče was extended westward, toward the Selca Sora Valley.[4]
Name
editLavtarski Vrh was attested in written sources as Waltherschogel in 1291, Waltersskhiuorch in 1584, and Woltharski Verch in 1610.[5][6] It was also recorded in the past as Balterskhiwurch.[7] In 1291 the village's name was also recorded as Hrastnica, named after Hrastnik Hill to the southwest.[4] It is also known as Lavtršnji Vrh in the local dialect.[4] The modern name Lavtarski Vrh is a result of dialect metathesis, and it is equivalent to Valterski Vrh, a village 11.5 kilometers (7.1 mi) to the south-southwest.[8][9]
