Spodnje Jezersko (pronounced [ˈspoːdnjɛ jɛˈzɛːɾskɔ] ; literally, 'Lower Jezersko') is a settlement in the Municipality of Jezersko in Slovenia. It is part of the traditional region of Carinthia and the Upper Carniola Statistical Region.

Geology

[edit]

On the left bank of the Kokra River, about 2 km south of the settlement, thick layers of travertine are occasionally still mined, particularly for restoration of listed buildings in Upper Carniola, where it was traditionally used as a building material.[2]

Chapel

[edit]
Saint Hubertus's Chapel

A masonry chapel dedicated to Saint Hubertus stands on a hill in the southern part of the settlement, in the hamlet of Zgornje Fužine. It is a single-nave structure with a belfry that was built in the Gothic Revival style in 1853. The chapel contains wooden furnishings and an oil painting of Saint Hubertus.[3]
