Klavže (pronounced [ˈklaːu̯ʒɛ]) is a settlement in the Bača Valley in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2]
Name
Klavže was attested in written sources in 1763–87 as Klausa. The name is derived from the Slovene common noun klavže 'logging sluice' (< German Klause < Middle High German klûse < Medieval Latin clūsa 'barrier'), referring to logging activity in the area.[3]
