Mrzli Potok (pronounced [ˈməɾzli ˈpɔːtok]; German: Kaltenbrunn,[1][2][3] Gottscheerish: Kaotnprunn[2]) is a remote abandoned settlement in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[4] Its territory is now part of the village of Gotenica.
The Slovene name Mrzli Potok literally means 'cold creek'. It is semantically similar to the German name Kaltenbrunn, literally, 'cold spring. There is a spring at the site of the former settlement known as Cold Spring (Slovene: Mrzli studenec).
