Zgornja Bistrica (pronounced [ˈzɡoːɾnja ˈbiːstɾitsa]; German: Oberfeistritz) is a settlement in northeastern Slovenia.

It processed iron ore from nearby sites and used charcoal produced in the Pohorje Hills as fuel.

[3] During the Second World War, the communist opposition organized strikes among the workers at the metal-processing industry in Zgornja Bistrica.

The Pit A Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče v rovu A) is a former mine shaft and bunker next to the Impol factory.

The factory became a driver of development in the settlement as an employer, resulting in additional construction of housing, a new school, and shops.
