Zapleš is a small hillside settlement on the sunny slope of Kamnec Hill (elevation: 862 meters or 2,828 feet).[1] It lies north of the main hamlet in Hribi.
Zapleš is recorded in older sources in Slovene as Sapleſh[4] and Za Plešjo,[2] and in German as Saplesch[2] and Plesch.[5] The name may refer to bare, unplowed land between fields or similar terrain, related to names like Pleš, Pleša, and Plešivica,[6] which derive from the common noun pleša 'bare land', especially in a mountain area.[7]
Zapleš had a population of 25 (in three houses) in 1900,[2] 21 (in three houses) in 1931,[1] and 22 (in four houses) in 1953.[8] Zapleš was annexed by Hribi in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[9][10][11]
