Vrhovlje pri Kojskem (pronounced [ʋəɾˈxoːu̯ljɛ pɾi ˈkoːi̯skɛm]) is a settlement north of Kojsko in the Municipality of Brda in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2]
The name of the settlement was changed from Vrhovlje to Vrhovlje pri Kojskem in 1953.[3] The settlement is also known as Vrhuje in the local dialect[4] and humorously as Slepo Vrhovlje (literally, 'blind Vrhovlje'),[5] in contrast to nearby Vrhovlje pri Kožbani (dubbed Gluho Vrhovlje 'deaf Vrhovlje').
The local church is dedicated to Mary Help of Christians and belongs to the Parish of Šmartno.[6]
