Geography

Zgornji Okrog lies below the southern slope of the Menina Pasture Plateau, about 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) north of the main road through Špitalič in the valley of Motnišnica Creek.

Name

The name Zgornji Okrog means 'upper Okrog' and contrasts with Spodnji Okrog (literally 'lower Okrog'), which lies about 540 meters (1,770 ft) to the south-southeast. Together with the related name Krog, the name Okrog is relatively common in Slovenia. It is derived from the common noun krog 'rounded hill', referring to the local topography. [2] Before the Second World War, Spodnji Okrog was known as Kozji Hrbet [1] [3] [4] and Zgornji Okrog was simply called Okrog. [5]

History

In 1952, the three former villages of Peteržilje, Spodnji Okrog, and Zgornji Okrog were combined into a single village named Spodnji Okrog. [6] In 1955, the name of the newly combined settlement was changed from Spodnji Okrog to Okrog pri Motniku. [6] [7]

Cultural heritage

There are two wayside shrines in Zgornji Okrog that are registered as cultural heritage. The first one stands in the western part of the settlement and dates from the twentieth century. It marks the place where mourners would rest with the deceased on the way to the church in Špitalič. [8] A second shrine stands east of the village along a field road. [9]
