Arihova Peč Winter Walk

In memory of the fighters at Arihova Peč who fell in February 1945

This winter walk commemorates the eight female and male partisans who, in February 1945, sought refuge in a cave beneath Arihova Peč and were murdered by SS units after being betrayed. Their names are inscribed on a memorial at the Šentjakob cemetery, serving as a reminder of their courage in the anti-fascist resistance. Since 1979, the Slovenian Mountaineering Association of Klagenfurt, the Slovenian Sports Association and the Slovenian Educational Society ‘Rož’ have been organising a commemorative walk on the first Sunday in March – as a sign of remembrance and a commitment to freedom and human dignity.
