Vrba, Žirovnica

Vrba (pronounced [ˈʋəɾba]; German: Velben[2]) is one of ten villages in the Municipality of Žirovnica in the Upper Carniolan region of Slovenia.

In 1940, the Prešeren House and the village were filmed for the black and white sound documentary O, Vrba.

[4] Due to the news about the German assault on Poland the film has a threatening atmosphere created by clouds moving over the Karawanks mountain range.

The Bele Linden Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Belejeva lipa) is located in a meadow south of the settlement and west of the freeway, near a hayrack along a field road.

In January 2011, the Prešeren House, St. Mark's Church, and the linden tree were proclaimed cultural monuments of national importance by the Government of Slovenia.
