Vrh (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈʋəɾx/, German: Werch[2]) is a small village south of Podgora in the Municipality of Loška Dolina in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Vrh is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Nevinje Cave Mass Grave (Slovenian: Grobišče Nevinje jama), also known as the Troha Woods Cave Mass Grave (Slovenian: Jama v Trohovem gozdu), lies in the northeast foothills of Mount Snežnik, 1km (01miles) 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]
