The memorial is represented by a stone block, to which a stone plate of size 60 x 40 cm, in a grey color and with an engraved inscription, is attached. All of this stands on a low pile, covered with stones and sprinkled with sand, along a forest path leading towards Tolstega vrh or Slemen. The memorial was unveiled in 1977.

"Friškovec Jože, a courier at the TV - 17 station on Ljubljanski vrh. He was born on Drenovski grič near Vrhnika. On the last days of October 1943, he went to the water pump near Tolstega vrh. He encountered a German-Homeland Defense patrol, which wounded him with shots, causing him to fall. Then the Homeland Defense soldiers and German soldiers (probably the Cherkesi) broke his head with a rifle butt. The Homeland Defense was led by K.M. from the unit at Verdu".

The occupier and their collaborators, the Homeland Defense, anticipated this, so they often set up ambushes, into which Friškovec also fell.
