Mass grave

Trlično is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Trlično Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Trlično) is located along Sotla Creek, 300 meters (980 ft) east of the border crossing at Dobovec pri Rogatcu. It contains the remains of several dozen Croatians, and perhaps also Banat Swabians, that were killed in May 1945.[3]
