==Geography== Željne is a ribbon village on a gently undulating plain along the road from Klinja Vas to Kočevje Rog. Kobl Hill stands south of the village. The soil is loamy and fertile. Željne Caves (Željnske jame) are located south of the village, from which Zeljne Creek (Želijnske potok) flows east. In the past, the caves were used as shelter during Ottoman incursions.
