Lavtarski Vrh (pronounced as /sl/, German: Lauterskiwerch[2]) is a small dispersed settlement above Čepulje in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Lavtarski Vrh stands on a ridge where the crests of Hrastnik Hill (806m (2,644feet)) and Planica Hill (823m (2,700feet)) meet. It received a modern road connection in 1965, when the road from Stražišče was extended westward, toward the Selca Sora Valley.[4]
Lavtarski 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 11.5km (07.1miles) to the south-southwest.[8] [9]
