Uršlja Gora (pronounced [ˈuːɾʃlja ˈɡɔːɾa] ) is a dispersed settlement on the northern slopes of Mount St. Ursula southwest of Kotlje in the Municipality of Ravne na Koroškem in the Carinthia region in northern Slovenia. [2] The local church from which the settlement and the mountain get their name is dedicated to Saint Ursula, but lies under the peak of the hill in the neighbouring settlement of Jazbina. [3]
A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world. Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village.
Mount St. Ursula or Plešivec is the easternmost peak of the Karawanks. It lies between the towns of Slovenj Gradec and Črna na Koroškem. There are three villages on the slopes of the mountain: Uršlja Gora, Podgora, and Zgornji Razbor. The mountain offers a panoramic view towards all of Carinthia, the Kozjak Mountains, and the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. Below the peak of Mount St. Ursula stands the Gothic St. Ursula's Church, a TV mast tower, a mountain lodge, 1,670 m or 5,480 ft), and a monument to the soldiers fallen in World War I.. The name Plešivec derives from its grey limestone peak.
Kotlje is a village in the hills south of Ravne na Koroškem in the Carinthia region in northern Slovenia. Kotlje is described in some of the works by the writer Prežihov Voranc.
