- 10,5 km
During World War II, a courier route led from the village to Carinthia, where activists of the Liberation Front (OF) gathered and received their supplies. On September 20, 1944, as an act of revenge, the Germans and their local collaborators set fire to the village. Remnants of the burnt Smole homestead and a monument to the victims from 1961 still serve as a reminder of the tragedy.
