ROVENSKO (Ravensca)



Úvodem/ Introduction:
CZ

Rovensko (rumunsky Ravensca) je jedna z šesti ceských vesnic v rumunském Banátu. Nachází se na návrší v nadmorské výšce asi 750 m. n. m. asi 7 km jihovýchodne od obce Sopotu Nou, pod kterou spadá. Rovensko je z ceských vesnic v Banátu nejvýše položené a je zde také nejzachovalejší jazyk, díky znacné izolaci zde není príliš ovlivnen rumunštinou a srbštinou. S nejbližšími ceskými vesnicemi (Gerník 15 km, Bígr 30 km) je propojeno cervenou turistickou znackou vyznacenou Klubem ceských turistu. Místní obyvatelé se živí predevším zemedelstvím, elektrina sem byla zavedena až v roce 1994.

Vesnice má ze všech ceských vsí nejmalebnejší polohu a proto je nejoblíbenejším cílem romantických cestovatelu. Život na hrebenech hor je však velice tvrdý a to zejména v zime, kdy je vesnice skoro zcela odríznutá od sveta. To je zrejme duvod rychlého úbytku stálých obyvatel.

Ravensca (in Czech Rovensko) is the one of six Czech villages in Romania's Banat. It is located on the hill at an altitude of cca 750 meters above sea level and about 7 km south-east of the village Sopotu Nou, under which administration it falls. From the Czech villages in the Banat, Rovensko is the highest-located and the best preserved Czech language is spoken here. Thanks to considerable isolation the language is not overly influenced by Romanian and Serbian. With the closest Czech villages (Gernik 15 km, Bigr 30 km) is linked with the red mark designated by Czech tourists Club. Local inhabitants make their living mainly in agriculture, electricity was introduced here as late as in 1994.

Ravensca has the most scenic location of all Czech villages that is why it is the most favourite destination of romatic travelers. However the life on the mountain range is very hard, particularly in winter, when the village is almost completely cut off from the rest of the world. This is probably the reason for the rapid decrease of residents.
