Škovine (pronounced [ʃkɔˈʋiːnɛ]) is a formerly independent settlement in the Municipality of Železniki in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
[2] Škovine lies in the area above Saint Anthony's Church in Železniki along the road from Škofja Loka to Petrovo Brdo.
Sovinik Creek, a tributary of the Selca Sora, flows through a ravine to the west, and Snegovnik Hill rises to the north.
[2] Škovine was attested in written sources in 1291 as In der Zaueritz, in 1348 as Zeyerfeld, in 1379 as Czevrueld, in 1485–1490 as Souerskiniue, and in 1630 as Sauerski niui insgemein na Skouinach.
As a result, it had an agricultural character, and it was administratively separate from the ironworking market town of Železniki.
