Geography

The territory of Ribno extends from the village center north of the Sava Bohinjka River to the south. Its elevation ranges from a low of 417m (1,368feet) along the river to a high of 1265m (4,150feet) at Black Peak (Slovenian: Črni vrh) on the Jelovica Plateau. The Selca Pasture (Slovenian: Selška planina or Slovenian: Selska planina), also known as the Selca–Kupljenik Pasture (Slovenian: Selsko-kupljeniška planina), lies at the southernmost point in the settlement, below the southern slope of Black Peak.
