Ribčev Laz is a settlement on Lake Bohinj in the Bohinj municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Most of the settlement consists of hotels and holiday homes.
The local church dedicated to John the Baptist lies just outside the settlement on the shores of Lake Bohinj. It is built on a west-east orientation and is surrounded by an old cemetery wall with two entrances. Its origins are Romanesque but it was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 15th century and vaulted in the early 16th when some of frescos were painted by Jernej of Loka.
A second church, dedicated to the Holy Spirit, lies by the road on the way to the far side of the lake. It was built in the mid 18th century[2].
