Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Studor to Studor v Bohinju in 1955.[2] The name of the settlement was first attested in 1291 as Ztodar. The name was originally an oronym, *Stodor, derived from Common Slavic *stodorъ 'sharp peak'. The pronunciation Stu- for Sto- is a dialect feature (Slovene: ukanje) that has become standardized in this toponym.[3]

Hayracks

Studor v Bohinju is known for its group of wooden hayracks just below the village. The double structure of these hayracks is particular to the area and the Studor v Bohinju group of hayracks has been declared an architectural monument. There is also a small ethnographic museum in the village at the Oplen house (Slovene: Oplenova hiša) at Studor v Bohinju no. 16.[4]
