The pit cave is infamous as a site where during and after World War II, the Yugoslav Partisans used for the disposal of bodies of thousands of local Croatian civilians that they executed.[1][2] Those executed were deemed to be Axis collaborators or enemies of the Communist regime.[1]
The pit cave has a funnel form, which, at the widest part, is about 30 metres wide.[3] In the middle of the pit cave there is carbonated "skittle" made of limestone and other materials of karst.
