Kračali (in Slovenian pronounced as /kɾaˈtʃaːli/) is a settlement in the hills west of Sodražica in southern Slovenia. It is included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region. Traditionally the area around Sodražica was part of Lower Carniola.[2] Together with the villages of Betonovo, Janeži, Petrinci, and Kržeti it comprises the community and Parish of Gora nad Sodražico, also known as Gora.[3]
Kračali is the site of two known mass graves or unmarked graves associated with the Second World War. The Kračali 1 Grave (Slovenian: Grobišče Kračali 1), also known as the Pasture 1 Grave (Slovenian: Grobišče Planina 1), is located north of the road west of the village. It contains the remains of undetermined victims.[4] The Kračali 2 Grave (Slovenian: Grobišče Kračali 2), also known as the Pasture 2 Grave (Slovenian: Grobišče Planina 2), is located south of the first grave. It contained the remains of an unknown person buried under a tree stump and has probably been exhumed.[5]
