The village is nestled in a valley surrounded by rolling hills and forests, offering a serene and scenic environment.

The name "Parametrija" is believed to derive from the Slovene word paramet, meaning "a small stream" or "brook," reflecting the village's proximity to several local waterways. Historically, the area has been inhabited since at least the Middle Ages, with references appearing in documents from the 14th century.
