Pobrea Je, Airnomelj

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pobre¿je is a small settlement on the left bank of the river Kolpa to the north of Adle¿i¿i in the ¿rnomelj municipality in the Bela Krajina area of southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region. It is dominated by the ruins of an extensive 16th century fort that was part of the defence system against Ottoman raids. It was burnt down in during the Second World War. The Kupa (Croatian) or Kolpa (Slovene) river forms a natural border between north-west Croatia and southeast Slovenia. The Kupa originates in Croatia in the mountainous region of Gorski kotar, northeast of Rijeka, in the area of Risnjak National Park. It flows a few kilometers eastwards, receives the small river ¿abranka from the left, before reaching the Slovenian border. It then continues eastwards, receives influx from the river Lahinja from the left in Primostek, passes Vrbovsko, and eventually detaches from the Slovenian border in Metlika.
