Rimsko (pronounced [ˈɾiːmskɔ]; also Remergrund,[1] in older sources also Rimski svet,[2] German: Römergrund[3][4]) is a remote abandoned former settlement in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia.
The Slovene writer Evgen Lah (1858–1930) speculated in 1893 that the German name Römergrund was related to Standard German Römer- ('Roman') in an essay defending the antiquity of the history of Carniola.
[10] Correspondingly, an early attempt to Slovenize the name Römergrund was Rimski svet (literally, 'Roman place, Roman area').
[2] The modern Slovene name Rimsko (literally, 'Roman') is a similar mistranslation, and it has been characterized as a "senseless coinage for Römergrund, which has no connection at all with the Romans.
Several prehistoric tumuli are located in a nearby woods along the road.
