Podvrh (pronounced [pɔˈdʋəɾx]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Braslovče in northern Slovenia. It lies at the foothills of the Dobrovlje Hills and includes a number of small hamlets, including Zgornji Podvrh, Srednji Podvrh, Spodnji Podvrh, Šmartno, Vrtoglav, Plavc, and Žovnek.

Žovnek is best known for Žovnek Castle, a now ruined castle dating to the 12th to 17th centuries, which was the original home of the Counts of Celje.[2]

Lake Žovnek, a reservoir created in 1978 to regulate flooding, is also a major feature of the landscape of Podvrh. Traditionally the area was part of the Styria region. The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[3]
