Podljubelj


Podljubelj is a settlement on the road to the Ljubelj Pass in the Municipality of Tržič in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveta Ana pod Ljubeljem to Podljubelj in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. In the past the German name was Sankt Anna.

Church

The local church, dedicated to Saint Anne, stands right by the entrance to the Ljubelj Tunnel.

Tominc Falls

On White Creek, a right tributary of Mošenik Creek, there is an easily reachable waterfall called Tominc Falls. It is a tourist attraction during high-flow conditions.

Mine

In the hamlet of Lajba above the village is an abandoned cinnabar mine called Saint Anne's Mine and parts of it have been made accessible to visitors.
