Vrhe (pronounced as /sl/) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Celje in eastern Slovenia. It lies in the eastern outskirts of Celje to the east of Teharje. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Teharje. It dates to the mid-15th century.[3]
Vrhe is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. It is part of the 25 mass graves in the Celje area. The Teharje Mass Grave (Slovenian: Grobišče Teharje) is located 50m (160feet) north of the upper barrier in the Celje Zinc Works solid waste dump and about 30m (100feet) west of the fence. It is over 10m (30feet) deep. It contains the remains of German and Slovene prisoners that died at the Teharje camp.[4]
