The Troblje Mass Grave (Slovene : Grobišče Troblje) is located on the east side of the road to Dravograd, near a shrine next to a ditch with a creek that flows into the Mislinja River. It is a former antitank trench that contains the remains of an unknown number victims. [3] The Tretjak Farm Mass Grave (Grobišče na domačiji Tretjak) is located on the Tretjak farm at Gradišče no. 6. It contains the remains of 12 victims. [4]
