About location

The Karawanks define the setting of Ljubelj — steep, wooded slopes enclose the Slovenian road approaching the Austrian frontier. Also known in German as Loiblpass, Ljubelj has for centuries been a principal link between Carniola and Carinthia. The road from Tržič passes beneath the main ridge through the Ljubelj Tunnel, connecting the two sides of the range. An older tunnel recalls the pass’s earlier road history, while a memorial at Ljubelj documents the Ljubelj concentration camp, a Mauthausen subcamp where prisoners were forced to build the tunnel during the Second World War. These slopes form part of the Karawanks, which follow much of the Slovenian-Austrian border.
