Gehag
(bei Tschermoschnitz)
German: Gehag // Gottscheerish: Gəhack // Slovenian: Seč
Gehag was a village that was founded relatively late because it was not listed in the Gottschee land registry of 1574 or in the 1770 census. In 1931 it had seven houses and a population of 33. Before the Second World War the economy of the village was based on farming and selling wood, and the villagers also owned some vineyards. The residents were evicted in 1941 and the village was burned by Italian troops in 1942.
