Poljubinj (pronounced [pɔljuˈbiːn]; Italian: Polubino) is a settlement east of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia.
Geography
Podljubinj is located on a terrace above the left bank of the Tolminka River, a tributary of the Soča River. Beri Falls (Slovene: slap Beri) is located about 800 meters (2,600 ft) 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 on Žabče Peak (Slovene: Žabijski vrh, 772 meters or 2,533 feet) and is celebrated on the first Sunday in May. Eggs are colored red, and verses and designs are written and painted on them.
