Rejcov Grič (pronounced [ˈɾeːi̯tsɔu̯ ˈɡɾiːtʃ]) is an isolated settlement in the hills west of Idrija in the traditional Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2] It includes the hamlets and isolated farms of Rejc, Rupa, and Lebanovše.

History

Rejcov Grič was separated from Čekovnik and made a settlement in its own right in 2006.[3]

Name

The name Rejcov Grič literally means 'Rejc's hill' and refers to Rejc Hill (Slovene: Rejčev Grič, 877 meters or 2,877 feet), which rises northwest of the hamlet of Rejc. The newly founded settlement was initially officially named Rejcov grič (with a small g) in Slovene.[4] However, this was declared an orthographic error a month later, and the official Slovene spelling was changed to Rejcov Grič (with a big G).[5]

Cultural heritage

A Second World War monument stands in the eastern part of the settlement, in the hamlet of Lebanovše. It was installed in 1969 and consists of a granite plaque mounted on a stone base topped by a stylized representation of Mount Triglav.[6]
