History
Divji Potok was a Gottschee German village. Before the Second World War it had two houses and 14 residents. The original inhabitants were expelled in the fall of 1941, and the village was burned by Italian troops in the summer of 1942 during the Rog Offensive. The foundations of two sawmills that stood at the site are still visible.[4]
