Turški Vrh

Turški Vrh (pronounced [ˈtuːɾʃki ˈʋəɾx], German: Türkenberg[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Zavrč in the Haloze area of eastern Slovenia.

The area is part of the traditional region of Styria.

[3] The name Turški Vrh literally means 'Turk Peak'; the name is explained as either being connected with Ottoman raids that occurred in the area[4] or with a folk tradition that a Turkish midwife is buried behind a shrine at house number 20 in the village.

[5] The local church on a hill in the south of the settlement, right on the border with Croatia, is dedicated to Saints Hermagoras and Fortunatus and belongs to the Parish of Zavrč.
