Davča, Železniki
Davča (pronounced [ˈdaːu̯tʃa]; German: Dautscha) is a scattered settlement in the Municipality of Železniki in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Davščica Creek flows past the settlement. The Cerkno Ski Resort is partially located in the settlement.
The settlement may have been attested in written sources in 1345 as de Dauonça, but reliably in 1500 and 1515 as in der Allss. The initial d- in the name is derived either from the Romance preposition ad 'at' or the German article d(ie), making the name related to place names such as Avče and probably related to the Friulian hydronym Auzza or Aussa, which is of pre-Romance origin. It may ultimately be derived from Celtic *alika 'wild service tree' or *alisa 'alder'. See Dragonja for a similar name with a fused initial d-.
The church in Davča is dedicated to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. It is a single-nave church dating from 1878. The main altar was created by the stonecutter Andrej Lavrenčič from Kopriva. The statues were created by artists from Tyrol, and the paintings and the Stations of the Cross (from 1880) are the work of Štefan Šubic (1820–1884).
