Idrijski Log (pronounced [ˈiːdɾii̯ski ˈloːk]; German: Idriskilog,Italian: Loga d'Idria) is a dispersed settlement on the right bank of the upper course of the Idrijca River in the hills south of Idrija in the traditional Littoral region of Slovenia. In addition to the settlement of Idrijski Log itself, it also includes the hamlets of Koševnik and Na Pevcu.
Idrijski Log lies on the north end of the Črni Vrh Plateau, which then drops sharply to the Idrijca Valley. It is connected to the hamlet of Podroteja in Idrija by a gravel road with a series of switchbacks and to Godovič by a route known as the French Road (Slovene: francoska cesta), which also leads to Črni Vrh and connects to Zadlog. The settlement lies on heavily karstified wooded land with many karst shafts and losing streams. The main elevations are Krog Hill (794 m), The Hill (Na Griču, 760 m) Grapar Peak (Graparjev vrh, 739 m), Pevc Hill (728 m), Big Peak (Veliki vrh, 721 m), Juniper Hill (Brinov grič, 738 m), Klobučar Hill (694 m), Skalovnik Hill (604 m). Karst caves include the Andrejček Shaft (Andrejčkov brezen) in the hamlet of Koševnik, and the Habeček Shaft (Habečkov brezen) south of this. The water in the shafts drains into Wild Lake and nearby karst springs in Podroteja. Intermittent springs include Pevc Spring (Pevški studenec) and Cold Spring (Mrzli studenec). The most significant watercourse is Mlaka Creek, which disappears into the ground near the Habe farm and formerly powered mills.
The name Idrijski Log literally means 'Idrija meadow'. The name Log is shared with many other settlements in Slovenia and is derived from the Slovene word log 'a partially forested (marshy) meadow near water' or 'woods near a settlement'. It was known as Loga d'Idria in Italian.
