Geography
Martinj Hrib is located in the southeastern part of the Logatec Karst Field (Slovene: Logaško polje), along the road from Logatec to Laze. The area is heavily karstified; the land is forested to the east and south, with sinkholes and caves, as well as the Logatec Collapse Dolines (Slovene: Logaške koliševke), which were created when the roofs of caves fell in.[4]
History
Along with the rest of Logatec, Martinj Hrib was affected by a plague outbreak in 1836; a chapel-shrine in the village commemorates the epidemic.[1][4] Martinj Hrib had a population of 229 (in 30 houses) in 1880,[5] 247 (in 37 houses) in 1900,[2] and 290 (in 27 houses) in 1931.[1] Martinj Hrib was annexed by Logatec in 1972, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[3][6]
