Zgornji Žerjavci (pronounced [ˈzɡoːɾnji ʒɛˈɾjaːu̯tsi]; German: Oberscheriafzen,[2] or WWII-era Kranichsbühel[3]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Lenart in northeastern Slovenia. It lies in the valley of Velka Creek, a left tributary of the Pesnica River in the Slovene Hills (Slovene: Slovenske gorice). The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.[4]
A large number of Roman-period burial mounds have been identified near the settlement.[5]
