Poljubinj (in Slovenian pronounced as /pɔljuˈbiːn/; Italian: Polubino[2]) is a settlement east of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[3]

Geography

Podljubinj is located on a terrace above the left bank of the Tolminka River, a tributary of the Soča River. Beri Falls (Slovenian: slap Beri) is located about 800m (2,600feet) east-northeast of the village center on Godiča Creek, a tributary of the Soča River.

Cultural heritage

Poljubinj is known for egg decoration during the local šempav holiday, which is named after the former Saint Paul's Church[4] on Žabče Peak (Slovenian: Žabijski vrh, 772m (2,533feet)) and is celebrated on the first Sunday in May. Eggs are colored red, and verses and designs are written and painted on them.[5]
