Kompolje, Dobrepolje

Kompolje (pronounced [ˈkoːmpɔljɛ]; German: Kompole[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Dobrepolje in Slovenia.

It is the source of a large stream that soon disappears into the ground, and in the past people from villages in the region would travel up to three hours to obtain water from it during droughts.

In the past the locals would catch olms in Dolaja Cave and sell them in Ljubljana and Vienna.

[2] The local church is dedicated to Saint Vitus (Slovene: sveti Vid) and belongs to the Parish of Dobrepolje–Videm.

It was originally a 14th-century church that burned down in 1877 and was rebuilt in the late 19th century[6] using material from the razed iron ore foundry in Ponikve.
