[3] Zgornja Hrušica is an elongated settlement with an old village core on the north slope of Golovec Hill, from which it extends northwards to the Ljubljanica River.

The soil below Golovec Hill is loamy, becoming sandy to the north near Litija Street (Slovene: Litijska cesta).

Until the Second World War, many washerwomen were active in Zgornja Hrušica; they washed clothing in Long Creek.

Private agriculture also ceased because much of the arable land was occupied by the Rast company, which raised garden plants, orchard trees, and flowers.

[1] Zgornja Hrušica was annexed by the city of Ljubljana in 1982, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
