Drandul


German: Drandul // Gottscheerish: Trandul // Slovenian: Travni Dol

Drandul was listed in the land registry of 1574 but no information on the number of houses or inhabitants was provided. It was not listed at all in the 1770 census and may have been overlooked. In 1937 the village had 12 houses and a population of 37. The villagers farmed for their own needs and also exported wood to Zagreb via Uršna Sela. During the Second World War, Italian forces burned six houses in the village. They were not rebuilt after the war. A reunion of Gottschee Germans was held in Drandul on 19 and 20 June 1999, attended by Slovene and Austrian government representatives.
