Geography
editVrhe is a scattered settlement[1] northeast of the main part of Imenje and south of the main part of Preserje pri Lukovici.
Name
editThe name Vrhe is derived from the common noun vrh 'peak, summit, highest point', referring to the geographical location of the settlement. It is originally an accusative masculine plural form that was reanalyzed as a nominative feminine plural.[5]
History
editVrhe had a population of 38 (in seven houses) in 1880,[2] and 19 (in four houses) in 1900.[3] Vrhe was annexed by Imenje and Preserje pri Lukovici in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6][7]
