Grčarevec (; in older sources also Gerčarevec, ) is a village between Planina and Kalce in the Municipality of Logatec in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. In addition to the main settlement of the village, it also comprises the hamlets of Grčarevski Vrh () to the north along the road to Kalce, and Kališe in the forest to the northeast.
==Geography== The region around the village contains many springs, the water of which disappears into nearby sinkholes. The surrounding spruce forest is economically important and in the past compensated for the poor soil, which was mainly farmed for corn and potatoes for local use. South of the main settlement is Hotenjke Springs, which contributes to flooding of Planina Karst Field (). There are karst caves around Grčarevec, including long Goat Cave () and the over deep Mesar Shaft () and Kališnica Shaft, as well as Dolar Cave (), the Gnezd Shaft (), the Sheep Shaft (), and Kališe Cave (). The remains of several woolly rhinoceros were discovered in Dolar Cave in 1933.
