Jakovica
place in Inner Carniola, Slovenia
Jakovica (pronounced [jaˈkɔːʋitsa], German: Jakobowitz) is a small village west of Laze in the Municipality of Logatec in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.
Geography
Jakovica is a clustered village on the western slope of Jakovica Hill (Slovene: Jakovski grič, elevation: 508 meters or 1,667 feet), from which it descends to the Planina Karst Field (Slovene: Planinsko polje). It is connected by road to Laze, and the Unica River flows through the karst field below the village. The soil is gravelly and there are tilled fields on the terrace above the village and toward Laze. The meadows below the village are frequently flooded by the Unica River. The neighboring forest is primarily spruce.
There are several active caves where the karst field meets the hills, in an area known as Pod stenami (literally, 'below the walls'). Caves include Raven Cave (Slovene: Vranja jama), which is part of the Cold Cave (Slovene: Mrzla jama) system, and Discovery Cave (Slovene: Najdena jama), a shaft where subterranean passages of the Unica River are revealed during low water levels.
Croat Peak (Slovene: Vrh Hrvatov, elevation: 550 meters or 1,800 feet) stands northeast of the village, at the highest point along the old road from Logatec to Rakek. It is believed to have been named during the First World War, when Russian prisoners of war were engaged in improving the road between Logatec and Laze.
