About
Hrašče (pronounced [ˈxɾaːʃtʃɛ]; German: Hraschtsche, Italian: Crastie) is a village west of Postojna in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.
Hrašče was attested in written sources in 1498 as Krasschach, with a locative ending. The name Hrašče, like similar names (e.g., Hraše, Hrastje, Hrastovica, Hrastnik ), is derived from the plural demonym *Hrasťane, in turn derived from the word hrast ' oak ', and originally referred to the local vegetation.
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Hrenovice.
