Vajpoh
Izvorno ime je Wildbach, ohranilo pa se je ime staroselcev.
Soteska Divji potok je bila sestavni del vasi Koprivnik. V takratnih časih je tam delovala žaga. Prvi lastniki žage so bili družina Roethel iz Koprivnika. Kasneje je žago nekaj let uspešno vodila družina Lušin iz Ljubljane, a je žaga zaradi tragične smrti v družini in bankrota, propadla še pred drugo svetovno vojno. V sklopu žage je bilo nekaj objektov, v katerih so bile nastanjene družine žagarjev. Na tiste čase spominjajo ruševine žage, tlorisi objektov in vodno zajetje hudourniškega potoka. Kakor so pripovedovali domačini, se je marsikateri otrok iz vasi naučil plavalnih veščin, prav v tem zajetju.
Zajetje
Danes so okoli zajetja vidne stopinje divjih živali, ki se sem hodijo napajat. Zato ni redko, da v bližini vidimo srnjad ali jelenjad, ki nas nemo opazuje z varne razdalje med drevesi.
Tu je tudi zanimivo rastišče lepega čeveljca (Cypripedium calceolus), ki se med vsemi v Sloveniji rastočimi orhidejami, ponaša z največjim cvetom. Prvi je nanj opozoril župnik Savelli, ki je med drugo svetovno vojno služboval v Koprivniku.
Pred odselitvijo Kočevarjev je bil Vajpoh sestavni del vasi, ki je imel hišne številke, žago in vodno zajetje. Danes pa ruševine parne žage in zapuščeno zajetje nemo spominjajo na pretekle čase.

Vajpoh
Its original name is Wildbach, but the name of the indigenous people has been preserved.
The Wildbach Gorge was a part of the village of Koprivnik. At that time, there was a sawmill operating there. The first owners of the sawmill were the Roethel family from Koprivnik. Later, the Lušin family from Ljubljana successfully ran the sawmill for a few years, but the sawmill collapsed before World War II due to a tragic death in the family and bankruptcy. There were some buildings on the sawmill property where the sawmill worker families lived. The ruins of the sawmill, the layouts of the buildings, and the water intake of the stream remind us of those times. As the locals tell, many children from the village learned to swim in this intake.
Intake
Today, around the intake, you can see footprints of wild animals that come here to drink. It is not uncommon to see a deer or a deer family observing you silently from a safe distance among the trees.
There is also an interesting habitat of the beautiful lady's slipper (Cypripedium calceolus), which among all orchids growing in Slovenia boasts the largest flower. The first one to notice it was the priest Savelli, who served in Koprivnik during World War II.
Before the eviction of the Gottscheer, Vajpoh was a part of the village that had house numbers, sawmill and water intake. Today, the ruins of the steam sawmill and the abandoned intake silently remind us of the past.
Remains of the sawmill
There is no signal at the location, so we recommend that you save the treasure to your GPS device or phone in advance.
