Mass grave

Trnje is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War. The Podtrn Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Podtrn) is located on a path north about 300 m of the settlement. It contains the remains of seven victims believed to be Home Guard prisoners of war from nearby villages that were imprisoned at Loka Castle.[3]
