Transcription
Name
The name Dolenje Jezero means 'lower lake' and is a semantic contrast to the neighboring village of Gorenje Jezero (literally, 'upper lake'), which stands about 20 meters (66 ft) higher in elevation. Like other villages named Jezero, the name refers to a local landscape element—in this case, Lake Cerknica.[4]
Church
The local church in the southwest part of the settlement is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul and belongs to the Parish of Cerknica.[5]
