Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Rute (a plural of "rut," a term for a wooded or grassy alpine slope.) to Gozd Martuljek in 1955.[1] The new name was a compound of "gozd" ('forest') and "Martuljek," the proper name of a local stream, itself derived from the Italian personal name "Martullo."
The former name survives in the settlement's informal division into Spodnje Rute (literally, 'lower Rute', located downstream on the Sava Dolinka river) and Zgornje Rute ('upper Rute', located upstream).
History
Gozd Martuljek was once served by the Tarvisio–Ljubljana Railway, built in 1870 and decommissioned in 1966. Its economy is presently based on dairy farming and tourism; it is a popular base for hiking and mountaineering excursions into the surrounding Karawanks, and is particularly noted for a spectacular view of mount Špik.
The settlement has no church, but contains a large late-Gothic chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows.
