Klenovik (pronounced [ˈkleːnɔʋik], sometimes Klenovnik[1]) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi. It is now part of the village of Rodež.[2] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
Geography[edit]
Klenovik is the core hamlet of the scattered settlement of Rodež.[2] It stands below the north slope of Orljek Hill (elevation 895 meters or 2,936 feet).
Name[edit]
The name Klenovik is derived from the common noun klen 'field maple', referring to the local vegetation.[3]
History[edit]
Klenovik had a population of 37 (in seven houses) in 1890,[4] and—in a differently defined scope of the settlement—nine (in two houses) in 1900.[1] Klenovik was annexed by Rodež in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5][6]
