Name
Zali Log was attested in historical sources as Stubem in 1485–1490, Stuben in 1500, and Salemlogu in 1500. The name is derived from *Zъ̀lъjь lǫ̂gъ in the sense of 'bad (marshy) meadow' (cf. Hudi Log for a toponym with a similar semantic motivation).

The parish church is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. It is an originally Gothic church, redesigned in the Baroque style in the 1740s. It contains a ceiling fresco by Janez Gosar and an altar painting by Janez Wolf. A second church stands on Suša Hill east of the settlement. It is dedicated to Our Lady of Loreto and was built from 1875 to 1876 where a wayside shrine formerly stood. It was built in the Renaissance Revival style and was designed by Franc Faleschini.
