Babno Polje

Babno Polje is the coldest place in Slovenia, and is commonly referred to as »the Slovenian Siberia«. The absolute lowest temperature is believed to have been -39.6 °C (1929), although official records show an all-time low of -34.5 °C, which was measured in 1956. Babno Polje is not only the coldest, but also one of the most charming villages in the municipality of Lož Valley. The care and effort that the locals devote to keeping their environment beautiful can be seen at the very entrance to the village, where they built a giant »Crone of Babno«. Legend has it that the village owes its name to a crone (‘baba’) who emerged as the sole survivor of a Turkish raid after she had hidden in a heap of manure. This, however, has been disputed, as records show that the village was referred to as Babno Polje even before the time of Turkish raids.
