Like the entire Vodel–Mrzli vrh–Sleme ridge, the 1,053 metres high mountain remained in the Austro-Hungarian hands throughout the war. It was a successful point of defence against the enemy advance to the valley of the Tolminka River and of control over the Valley of the Soča (Isonzo) near Dolje. Although the bloodiest battles in this area raged on the Mrzli vrh–Sleme section, the Italian soldiers even failed to break the defensive line at Mt. Vodel, which remained unchanged until the breakthrough in October 1917.
