Mass grave

Vrh is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Nevinje Cave Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Nevinje jama), also known as the Troha Woods Cave Mass Grave (Jama v Trohovem gozdu), lies in the northeast foothills of Mount Snežnik, 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) east of the Grajševka hunting lodge. It was used after the war to liquidate opponents of the communist movement.[4]

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Thomas and belongs to the Parish of Stari Trg.[5]

gollark: Why not solar thermal?
gollark: The batteries should be made to explode on impact then.
gollark: Are there *any downsides*?
gollark: Plus, the recoil propels you forward!
gollark: Oh, solution: mount a railgun on your electric bike with its own low-capacity batteries, so when your motor's batteries are exhausted you can load them into the railgun (with the motor itself) and fire it to dispose of them.
