History
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]
