Rupe is a clustered village on the
Rute Plateau () along the road from
Selo pri Robu to
Mohorje. The Ograje hay field lies north of the village. The Graben area to the west contains many springs, and above this is Selan Crag () and the Matejec Clearing () with tilled fields and hay fields. To the south are the Zglavnice fields, and to the southeast meadows and terraced fields. To the east are hay fields in an area known as Lošca, with a road leading to
Dednik and a trail through the woods offering a shortcut to
Rob. The area also has a deep karst shaft surrounded by many depressions. The soil is sandy loam. Near the road there is an intermittent spring with a walled outlet. The farms in Rupe are small and there is little agricultural production because of the harsh climate; most of the villagers were tenant farmers in the past. The houses have pear and apple orchards. Economic activity was based on the production of wooden ware, especially wooden spoons, crates for fruit, and toothpicks. There was also some charcoal production, and mushrooms and blueberries were gathered and sold, especially in the Lošca area. ==Name==
