Zlokarje (pronounced [ˈzloːkaɾjɛ], 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 (Slovene: viadukt Zlokarje) on Slovenia's A1 Freeway is named after Zlokarje and runs immediately west of the village; its right and left spans measure 204 meters (669 ft) and 222 meters (728 ft).[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]
