Griblje

Griblje (pronounced [ˈɡɾiːbljɛ]; German: Grüble[2]) is a settlement on the left bank of the Kolpa River in the Municipality of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia.

[3] Griblje was attested in historical sources as Griblach in 1468, Briglach in 1490, and Griblah in 1593.

It may derive from the dialect common noun grib 'Boletus', referring to a place where such mushrooms grow.

Other possibilities are derivation from griba 'clod, clump (of soil)', from a word related to Serbo-Croatian griblja 'furrow', or from griva 'slope overgrown with grass'.

[4] The local church, south of the main settlement, is dedicated to Saint Vitus (Slovene: sveti Vid) and belongs to the Parish of Podzemelj.
