Geography
The Mislinja River joins the Meža River from the right north of the village of Otiški Vrh, only a couple of hundred meters before the Meža joins the Drava River.
History
In 2004, the settlement of Bukovje was administratively separated from Otiški Vrh.[3]
Mass grave
Otiški Vrh is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War. The Bavh Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Pod Bavhom) is located below the Bavh farm in the western part of the settlement, 300 meters (980 ft) northeast of the main road, on the steep edge of a wooded slope by a large pine tree. It contains the remains of unidentified victims.[4]
Church
The parish church in the settlement is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint Peter. It is built on a hill known as Kronska gora, high above the Mislinja Valley. It is a Baroque building with a two-storey entrance facade and a double belfry built between 1745 and 1750. A second church to the east of the settlement is dedicated to Saint Oswald. It is a Late Gothic church with 17th-century wall paintings.[5]
