Pristava House
The Pristava House (Template:Lang-sl) is an excursion point in the municipality of Jesenice in northern Slovenia. It is located in the foothills of the Karavanke Alps at an altitude of 975 m, above the settlement of Javorniški Rovt.
The house was erected in either 1641 or 1647 as a mountain chalet for the local ironworks-owning lower nobility and recently renovated.[1] At the turn of the 18th century the building had belonged to the nobleman and Enlightenment naturalist baron Sigmund Zois, who established the second botanical park in Carniola at the site. The park is still in existence and features a variety of local and exotic trees.
The Pristava House features an inn, restaurant, and open-air dance-floor[2]. The surrounding meadows are popular with picnickers, and are famous for their profusion of wild daffodils in the late springtime. The nearby Javornik Falls, a series of three waterfalls in the upper course of the creek Javornik, are a popular hiking destination.[3] The house is road-accessible from the village of Koroška Bela via Gajšek Trail.
