Sekirišče (pronounced [sɛˈkiːɾiʃtʃɛ]; in older sources also Sekiršče[2]) is a small settlement north of the road that leads from Rob to Krvava Peč in the Municipality of Velike Lašče in central Slovenia.
[3] The settlement was first attested in written sources in 1484 as Szekiritza, and in 1485 as Szekiricza.
The name is unlikely to refer to a place cleared by an ax (Slovene: sekira), as sometimes suggested.
The Pavlin Shaft Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Pavlinovo brezno), also known as the Repičnik Shaft Mass Grave (Grobišče Brezno Repičnik), is located 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mi) northeast of Krvava Peč on the south slope of Mount Repičnik.
