Hrib pri Koprivniku

The former village of the Gottschee Germans is situated in a place with a view, near the round hilltop. This place had already been inhabited in earlier times. At the heap a prehistoric burial place was discovered.

Rajhenav

This former village of the Gottschee Germans is situated in the middle of the woods near the mountain Rog and within the Carst basin. It is surrounded by hills which range in heights from 662 to 685 m. In the north-east, this plain borders Bezgova Gorica (1009 m). To the north is Kamena Gorica (830 m), and behind it is Rajhenavski Gozd (965 m). To the south-east is Rovtarska Gorica (848 m), and Križna Gorica (769 m) is in the south.

Jelendol

Once a workers’ settlement, Jelendol is situated in a wavy, woodsy world, next to the road between Dolenja Vas and Grčarice. To the North is the hill Strmec (656 m).

Vrbovec

The former village of the Gottschee Germans is situated in a hilly country, next to a road Struge–Kočevje. German word Tiefenthal means »deep in a valley«. The settlement originates from 1558, when Count Franc Blagay – a leaseholder of The Kočevje County – allowed to his subjects to clear land for making an inhabitable space. At the time of its formation, Tieffenthal counted three whole estates, which were divided into six halfway farms with nine landlords, according to the Kočevje Registry Book. This meant 35-40 inhabitants of the village.

Onek

This roadside village has almost a sample ground plan and was probably named after its’ situation – it lies at the corner high above the valley. The first settlers were here certainly already in the second half of the 15th century, which is proved by the age of some churches in this area.

Inlauf

This former village of the Gottschee Germans is situated on the eastern, rather gently sloping, side of the peak of the mountain Krokar (1119 m). From the top of this mountain, one can see the Kolpa Valley, the mountain Snežnik, and quite a lot of the mountain chain named Gorski Kotar.

VERDRENG

The abandoned village of the Gottschee Germans is situated in the valley of Verderb and Verdreng or the Podleška valley, lying 528 m above the sea level. The valley is full of funnel-shaped holes (Slov. vrtača), typical for the Carst type of relief. In the northwest a hill Pevska gorica, and in the southeast a hill Šibje as well as a crest of Verdrenška gora are lying. An antenna for TV signal is at Verdrenška gora.

Nemška Loka

The former village of the Gottschee Germans is situated in a Carst basin between Kočevski Rog in the north and Poljanska dolina in the south, above the river Kolpa. To the east 680 m high peak Vršič and to the west 527 m high peak Straža (Špaga) are lying. The village itself lies 475 m above the sea level.

Glažuta

There is an abandoned settlement which is lying in the Glažuta Valley, between Velika Gora (with its two peaks Turn, 1254 m, and Črni Vrh, 1172 m) in the East, Goteniška Gora (with its peak Sušni Vrh, 1231 m) in the West, and at the foot of Lepa Gorica (883 m) in the North. The settlement is situated 775 m above sea level. Glažuta belongs to the Municipality of Loški Potok and to the Draga cadastral zone.

Rajndol

The former village of the Gottschee Germans is situated right at the edge, in the southeast of a system of valleys in the Kočevje region, at 510 m above the sea level. It is surrounded by a hill Šibje (in the northeast) and a hill Pevska gorica (in the southwest). The name Rajndol might be a simplification – the Slovenians could recoin a German expression »Tal am Rein«, meaning a clean and clear valley. It makes sense, when one looks at the position of Rajndol. This place had already been inhabited before the arrival of Germans. Next to the village, a prehistoric burial place was discovered.

Kukovo

This former village of the Gottschee Germans is situated in a location to the west of Polom, in a hilly and woody world, near the Struge – Kočevje road. It lies at 481 m above sea level. The municipal authority for this area is in Kočevje, and the local authority is in Struge. The cadastral zone name is Polom.

Borovec

In the North of the Borovec Valley there is a village by the name Borovec. To the west and south-west the mountain Borovška Gora and its peaks are lying: Cerk (1192 m), Krokar (1122 m), and Krempa (942 m). To the north is the hill Ravne (845 m).
