Dotrščina

It is a protected area as the Dotrščina Memorial Cemetery and Park of the Revolution, because it is the historical site of mass executions in World War II.

Some notable Croatian intellectuals who were executed here were Ivan Krndelj, Dr Božidar Adžija, Otokar Keršovani, Ognjen Prica, Viktor Rosenzweig, Zvonimir Richtmann, Ivo Kuhn, Simo Crnogorac and August Cesarec.

Unlike most victims of the Ustaše regime who were shipped off to far away concentration camps, the executions in the forests of Dotrščina and Rakov potok were generally publicly announced in the city of Zagreb.

In addition to the memorials, along the road that goes through the Valley of the Graves, there are marble plaques with carved verses by Ivan Goran Kovačić and Jure Kaštelan.
