Žlebe (German: Schlebe)[2] is a dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]

There are two churches above the settlement, one dedicated to Saint Margaret and the other to Saint James. Saint Margaret's Church dates to the early 16th century and was built on the site of an earlier church. The interior was painted with frescos in 1742.[4]
