Ludranski Vrh (pronounced [ˈluːdɾanski ˈʋəɾx]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills south of Črna na Koroškem in the Carinthia region in northern Slovenia.[2]

Name[edit]

The name Ludranski Vrh is believed to be a corruption of Luteranski Vrh (literally, 'Lutheran Peak'). In the past, there were many Lutherans living in the area around Črna na Koroškem.[3]

Landmarks[edit]

Najevnik linden tree[edit]

Najevnik linden tree

The Najevnik linden tree (Slovene: Najevska lipa, Najevnikov lipovec) in Ludranski Vrh, an about 700 years old Tilia cordata, is the tree with the largest girth in Slovenia (10.70 meters; its height is 24 m).[4] The tree is named after the Najevnik Farm.[5] It is a prominent veteran tree reminiscent of the Ottoman invasions and the legendary King Matjaž.[6] It is a place of cultural events, and every July or June a national meeting of Slovene politicians takes place under it.[4][7]
