NOB monument on Cviblje

NOB monument with a tomb on Cviblje

The monument on the Cviblje hill with a tomb was erected in memory of more than 2,000 fallen soldiers from 17 foreign countries and is one of the largest ossuary of WWII in the territory of Slovenia. The monument is the work of architect Marjan Tepina.

The monument stands on a 305-metre-high hill, also called Tumplac, which rises above Žužemberk. The monument with a tomb in which the remains of those who died in WWII are buried was erected in memory of the fallen partisans who died in the battles in Suha krajina.

The site of the former courthouse and the village lime tree with the church of Saint Lenart is also located nearby. The jurors of Žužemberk, who had the right to vote and who elected the judge from Tržič, were sheltered in the courthouse. Since there were twelve jurors, they were called “cvelbarji” (Zvelbary in German). Cvibelj is therefore a location where the “cvelbarji” passed judgement under the village linden tree. Te Tržič judges were regularly elected from 1657 to 1849.

I am very happy that we can now show the castle and other attractions to all our family guests and tell them something along the way. Or maybe we should just let them listen to the guides on the phone, who are always on duty. In this way, even us locals were able to learn many new things about our places. Since we are not trained guides and not so good at speaking, I like to play the audio guides and surprise my guests.

I thought that Bled is unique with its castle on a rock and a water motif below it. I must admit that the reflection of your castle in the Krka river is also beautiful and that the scenery of Žužemberk from the river banks is very picturesque. However, I also have to admit that it is much calmer and less noisy there in the summer than here in Bled in the high season. All the more reason for me to run away from my place to yours more often.
