Grmače (Slovene pronunciation: [ɡəɾˈmaːtʃɛ], in older sources also Grmača[1] and Germače[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Moravče in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Katarija.[3][4] The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[5]
Grmače lies in the extreme northeast of the village of Katarija, at the top of the Grmače Pass, which connects the Sava Valley with the Moravče Valley.[4]
History
Grmače is among the comparatively more recent settlements in the area.[6] Grmače was initially annexed by Češnjice pri Moravčah in 1952, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[7][8][9] It was later assigned to Katarija.
