Grčarevec (pronounced [ɡəɾtʃaˈɾeːʋəts]; in older sources also Gerčarevec,[2] German: Gartschareuz[2][3]) is a village between Planina and Kalce in the Municipality of Logatec in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.
The surrounding spruce forest is economically important[5] and in the past compensated for the poor soil, which was mainly farmed for corn and potatoes for local use.
[6] South of the main settlement is Hotenjke Springs, which contributes to flooding of Planina Karst Field (Slovene: Planinsko polje).
[6][7] It has been suggested that the name Grčarevec may derived from *Gričar 'hill dweller', based on the Slovene common noun grič 'hill'.
[2] The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Luke and belongs to the Parish of Planina.
