The municipality of Ljubno lies at the entrance to a narrow gorge where the River Savinja emerges from the heart of the mountains. The municipality borders the municipalities of Mozirje, Gornji Grad, Luče and čŒrna na Koroškem. As for its natural beauty, it is one of the most beautiful areas in the Zgornja Savinjska valley. Due to its exceptional location, it serves as the starting point for numerous beautiful and interesting mountain walks and pleasant trips in the surroundings. Concerning natural sights, Tirske Peči should be mentioned first. Another sight of great importance is the Smrekovec – Komen Ridge. Ljubno hosts events that are worth visiting. Ski-jumping competitions take place at the beginning of the year. On 19th March “Jožefov sejem” (Joseph’s Fair) is worth a visit. Also in spring, Palm Sunday celebrations take place, when it is possible to admire the “ljubenska butara” and try “potica” (a nut roll), or “presmec”. Every year, the event attracts large numbers of visitors from everywhere. Each Palm Sunday product deserves attention and admiration. The largest event is “Flosarski bal” (The Raftsman’s Ball), which takes place on the first Sunday in August. It is an ethnographical presentation of the work of the raftsmen and customs connected with them. The event is accompanied by a number of sports activities. One can also visit the raftsman’s collection, which is exhibited in the museum in the centre of Ljubno. The municipality has a rich variety of catering facilities. Guests are served good local dishes in a friendly atmosphere perfect for larger groups, and accommodation is also available.
