Novi Svet (pronounced [ˈnɔːʋi ˈsʋeːt], German: Neuwelt,[2] Italian: Mondonovo[3]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills west of Hotedršica in the Municipality of Logatec in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.
[4] Novi Svet ranges across elevations between 500 and 600 meters (1,600 and 2,000 ft) southwest of the road from Kalce to Hotedršica, extending to the northeast slope of the Hrušica Plateau.
The name refers to the fact that the area was settled more recently than neighboring villages after wooded land was cleared.
[9] Between the First and Second World Wars, the territory of Novi Svet lay west of the Rapallo border, in the Kingdom of Italy.
The remains of the Italian border and customs posts along the road from Hotedršica to Godovič are located in the northeastern territory of Novi Svet.
