Belski Vrh (pronounced [ˈbeːlski ˈʋəɾx], German: Welschaberg[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Zavrč in the Haloze area of eastern Slovenia. The area traditionally belonged to the Styria region. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.[3]

The local church was destroyed by lightning in the 19th century. It was dedicated to Saint Urban and was a Late Gothic building. Some remains of the church and a nearby keep are still visible.[4]
