Mass grave

Spodnja Lipnica is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Garden Cave Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Jama za vrtcem) is located in the woods west of the settlement, in a cave 8 to 10 m deep. It contained the remains of seven Slovene civilians from Radovljica that were murdered on 29 May 1945.[2]
