History
Monument to 600 years of settlement in Pogorelec

Pogorelec was a Gottschee German village. In 1931 the village had five houses and a population of 24. The original inhabitants were expelled in the fall of 1941. Italian troops burned the village in the summer of 1942 during the Rog Offensive. After the war a lodge with a large hay loft belonging to the Podturn Forestry Works was built here, used for part of the year by forestry workers.[3]
