Jama pri Dvoru (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈjaːma pɾi ˈdʋɔːɾu/, German: Gruben[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Žužemberk in southeastern Slovenia. It lies on the right bank of the Krka River opposite Dvor. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Jama to Jama pri Dvoru (literally, 'Jama near Dvor') in 1953.[4] The name Jama means 'cave', and it is derived from the fact that there are several caves in the village itself along the Krka River,[5] including Černiček Cave (Slovenian: Černičkova jama), with a length of 150m (490feet) and a depth of 21m (69feet).[6] Booming Cave, (Slovenian: Bobnova jama), with a length of 175m (574feet) and a depth of 25m (82feet), lies just west of the village.[7] [8]
