History edit
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]
