Zlokarje (pronounced as /sl/, in older sources Zlokarji[2]) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi. It is now part of the village of Jelševica.[3] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
Zlokarje is a clustered settlement in the northwestern part of the territory of Jelševica, consisting of two farms at the top of a hill.[3] It lies at the extreme northwest end of a mountain ridge.[1] The Zlokarje Viaduct (sl|viadukt Zlokarje) on Slovenia's A1 Freeway is named after Zlokarje and runs immediately west of the village; its right and left spans measure 204m (669feet) and 222m (728feet).[4]
Zlokarje had a population of 14 (in two houses) in 1900,[2] 18 (in two houses) in 1931,[1] and 17 (in two houses) in 1953.[5] Zlokarje was annexed by Jelševica in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6] [7]
