Geography
[edit]
The territory of Ribno extends from the village center north of the Sava Bohinjka River to the south. Its elevation ranges from a low of 417 meters (1,368 ft) along the river to a high of 1,265 meters (4,150 ft) at Black Peak (Slovene: Črni vrh) on the Jelovica Plateau. The Selca Pasture (Slovene: Selška planina or Selska planina), also known as the Selca–Kupljenik Pasture (Slovene: Selsko-kupljeniška planina), lies at the southernmost point in the settlement, below the southern slope of Black Peak.

The parish church in the village is dedicated to Saint James. It was originally a Gothic church with some frescos remaining in the chancel, but it was greatly rebuilt and reconstructed in the late 19th century.[2]
