Ribnica na Pohorju is a settlement and a municipality in northern Slovenia. It lies in the Pohorje Hills to the west of Maribor. The area was part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. It is now included in the Carinthia statistical region.[2]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1356. The current building dates to around 1740.[3] A second church near the settlement's main cemetery is dedicated to Saint Leonard and dates to the 15th century with 18th-century additions.[4]
