Hrastje (pronounced [ˈxɾaːstjɛ]; German: Hrastie[2]) is a village on the left bank of the Sava River just south of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]

The name Hrastje is derived from the Slovene common noun hrast 'oak', referring to the local vegetation.[4] The settlement was known as Hrastie in German in the past.[2]
