Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Log to Log pri Vrhovem in 1953.

Erkenstein Castle

The remains of a late 12th-century castle known as Erkenstein Castle (Slovene: grad Erkenštajn) are located in the settlement. It was partially destroyed in the mid-15th century and abandoned in the 17th century some time soon after it was burnt down by rebellious peasants in 1635.
