Geography

Klenovik is the core hamlet of the scattered settlement of Rodež.[2] It stands below the north slope of Orljek Hill (elevation 895 meters or 2,936 feet).

Name

The name Klenovik is derived from the common noun klen 'field maple', referring to the local vegetation.[3]

History

Klenovik had a population of 37 (in seven houses) in 1890,[4] and—in a differently defined scope of the settlement—nine (in two houses) in 1900.[1] Klenovik was annexed by Rodež in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5][6]
