Babna Gora, Dobrova-Polhov Gradec
Babna Gora is a dispersed settlement, east of Polhov Gradec in the Municipality of Dobrova-Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
History
Babna Gora is mentioned as Wabnagora or Babnagora in Johann Weikhard von Valvasor's 1689 work The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola.[3]
The forest just outside Babna Gora is the site of a civilian mass grave from the Second World War known as the Martinčič family grave (Slovene: Grob Martinčičeve družine). The victims were nine members of the Hudnik family from the Martinčič farm (an oeconym) that were executed by the Partisans on 12 April 1942 for sheltering a deserter.[4][5][6] The Executive Committee of the Liberation Front spent the winter of 1942/43 at the Glažar farm in Babna Gora, which is commemorated by a plaque.[7][8]
