The Logatec Karst Field or Logatec Polje (Template:IPA-sl; Template:Lang-sl) is a karst field near Logatec in southwestern Slovenia (the traditional region of Inner Carniola). Geographically, it corresponds to the floor of the Logatec Basin (Template:Lang-sl).[1] It lies at an elevation between 470 meters (1,540 ft) and 490 meters (1,610 ft)[2] and encompasses about 6 square kilometers (2.3 sq mi) of mostly grassy terrain. Logaščica Creek, a losing stream, runs across the karst field and collects ambient water. The karst field often flooded in the past, and so land improvement was carried out.[2] The northern part of the Logatec Karst Field is called the Empty Karst Field ([Pusto polje] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help))[2] and the main road from Logatec to Vrhnika runs across it, passing through the linden-lined section known as the Napoleon Avenue ([Napoleonov drevored] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). The southern part of the karst field is known as the Lower Logatec Karst Field ([Spodnje logaško polje] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), or metonymically as the Logatec Karst Field ([Logaško polje] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)).[1] The A1 Freeway from Ljubljana to Koper passes along the southeast edge of the karst field.
