Loiblpass concentration camp, World War II concentration camp memorial near Tržič, Slovenia
The memorial site contains foundations of former barracks, guard towers, and information panels documenting the experiences of forced laborers during World War II.
From 1943 to 1945, approximately 1,800 prisoners worked under severe conditions to construct the Loibl tunnel connecting Slovenia and Austria through the Karawanks mountains.
The memorial includes five stone walls surrounding a central skeleton sculpture, designed by architect Boris Kobe between 1950 and 1954 to honor international camp victims.
The museum at the memorial site opens daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, with admission costing 4 euros and typical visits lasting 30 to 40 minutes.
Two subcamps operated simultaneously on both sides of the border, with prisoners tunneling from opposite directions to meet at the mountain's center point.
