Vrhpolje pri Kamniku (pronounced [ˈʋəɾxpɔljɛ pɾi ˈkaːmniku]; German: Oberfeld[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Urban expansion has turned it into a single continuous settlement with the neighbouring settlement of Nevlje. The main road from Kamnik into the Tuhinj Valley runs through Vrhpolje.
Name[edit]
The name of the settlement was changed from Vrhpolje to Vrhpolje pri Kamniku in 1955.[3] In the past the German name was Oberfeld.[2]
