Place in Upper Carniola, Slovenia
Zgornja Sorica (pronounced [ˈzɡoːɾnja ˈsoːɾitsa] ; German : Oberzarz ) is a village in the Municipality of Železniki in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia .
Zgornja Sorica together with neighbouring Spodnja Sorica (Unterzarz ), like Nemški Rovt (Deutschgereuth ) in Bohinj and Rut (Deutschruth ), is part of a former German language island in a remote valley of the Julian Alps . In medieval times, the Carniolan estates around Škofja Loka were held by the Bavarian Bishops of Freising , who from about 1200 had the Zarz region settled with peasants descending from their territory in the Upper Puster Valley (around Innichen ) in Tyrol . The local Southern Bavarian dialect had strong similarities to the dialect spoken in the Puster Valley ; however, it died out by the early 20th century.
