Grmače (Slovene pronunciation: [ɡəɾˈmaːtʃɛ], in older sources also Grmača and Germače) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Moravče in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Katarija. The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.

Geography

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.

History

Grmače is among the comparatively more recent settlements in the area. Grmače was initially annexed by Češnjice pri Moravčah in 1952, ending its existence as an independent settlement. It was later assigned to Katarija.
