Mass grave

Grč Vrh is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War. The Bear Cave Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Medvedova jama) is located south of the settlement, on the north slope of Pogorelec Hill, along the road from Brezova Reber pri Dvoru to Prečna. It contains the remains of undetermined victims based on human bones found by spelunkers at the site.[3]
