Bukov Vrh nad Visokim (pronounced [ˈbuːkɔu̯ ˈʋəɾx nad ʋiˈsɔːkɔm]) is a settlement above Visoko pri Poljanah in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Name
The name Bukov Vrh nad Visokim literally means 'beech peak above Visoko'. Like similar names (e.g., Bukovo, Bukovica, Bukovec, etc.), it is derived from the Slovene adjective bukov, from the common noun bukev 'beech', referring to the local vegetation.[2]
