High up under the cliffs of the Olševa ridge there is a hamlet of
Podolševa.
It is also called 'Sveti Duh' (the Holy Spirit), named after the baroque church of the Holy Spirit which gives a special image to the whole hamlet. The today church was built at the end of the 19th century, replacing the former 15th century one. Well preserved in the church are a gothic chalice and a relief of the Holy Trinity carved from yew wood. This relief is especially interesting because it shows the Holy Spirit as a youth holding the Earth and not as a white dove. There is also a very old gothic church bell with an inscription in the old gothic script.
