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]
