Gorenja Loka (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾeːnja ˈloːka]; also Gorenja Nemška Loka,[1][2] German: Oberdeutschau[3][4]) is a remote abandoned settlement in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[5] Its territory is now part of the village of Hrib pri Koprivniku.

History

[edit]

Gorenja Loka was a Gottschee German village. It was founded in the 14th century.[6] Before the Second World War it had six houses. All of the houses in the settlement were burned by Italian troops in the summer of 1942 during the Rog Offensive and it was never rebuilt.[7] The site of the former village is registered as cultural heritage.[6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
