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

Name

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.

Landmarks

Najevnik lime tree

Najevnik lime tree

The Najevnik lime tree (Slovene: Najevska lipa, Najevnikov lipovec) in Ludranski Vrh, a small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata) specimen approximately 700 years old, has the largest trunk circumference of any tree in Slovenia (10.70 meters; its height is 24 m). The tree is named after the Najevnik Farm. It is a prominent veteran tree, which probably germinated around the time of the Ottoman invasions of Europe, around the time of the reign of King Matjaž. It is a place of cultural events, and every July or June a national meeting of Slovene politicians takes place under it.
