[2] Vrhpolje is a clustered village in the Upper Vipava Valley at the northwest foot of the Nanos Plateau.

White Creek (Slovene: Bela), a tributary of the Vipava River, flows past the town to the east, but its bed is often dry because it is an influent stream.

[4] The Zavetnik Farm Grave (Grobišče Zavetnikov grunt) lies in the woods below a vineyard, about 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) north-northeast of the parish church.

It contains the remains of the Slovene civilian Marija Krapež from Malo Polje, who was murdered by the Partisans in November 1943.

[5] The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saints Primus and Felician and belongs to the Koper Diocese.
