Zgornja Orlica (pronounced [ˈzɡoːɾnja ˈoːɾlitsa]) is a dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Ribnica na Pohorju in northeastern Slovenia. It lies in the Pohorje Hills, just north of Ribnica. Traditionally the area was part of the Styria region. The entire municipality is now included in the Carinthia Statistical Region.[2]

History

Zgornja Orlica was established as a separate settlement in 1994, when the former village of Orlica was split into Zgornja Orlica and Spodnja Orlica (in the neighboring Municipality of Radlje ob Dravi).[3]
