Concentration camp Ljubelj is located on the way to the former frontier Ljubelj. Labour camp Ljubelj is the only concentration camp, which was during the second world war in the region of Republic Slovenia. It was the subsidiary of the notorious camp Mauthausen in Austria. The concentration camp Ljubelj was operating from the year 1942 to 1945. About 1800 prisoners dug tunnel through Karavanke till the year 1945. The Nazis decided to build it because of the economical and strategical reasons to improve transport roads to Yugoslavia. The bad or incapable people were sent to Mauthausen, which meant for them certain death. The Slovenian government announced this camp for historical memorial place. Beside public monument to the internees, which was built in the year 1954, preserves this region of the camp authentic remains of administrative and prison terraces including with crematorium. After the Second World War they built military guardhouse in the civil part of the camp, which was destroyed by fire. The presentation of the concentration camp Ljubelj is in the cellar of the former guardhouse. With the statue of the sculptor Boris Kobe is showed the suffering of the prisoners. At Koroska side of the camp was nothing preserved. The only reminder are two memorial boards. In the nearness of the Concentration camp Ljubelj is a restaurant Koren and just beside is the adrenalin park.
