Podstene (pronounced [pɔtˈsteːnɛ]; German: Untersteinwand[2][3] or Neubüchel[2]) is a village 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.[4] It no longer has any permanent residents.[1]
History
Podstene was a Gottschee German village. In 1574 it consisted of four half-farms. There were five houses in the village before the Second World War. The village was burned by Italian troops in the summer of 1942, after which one house remained standing. A family lived in this house until 1967, running a farm and an inn, which was a popular destination for outings.[5]
