«The army was going to the end .. » (Inscription on the plaque, embedded in the wall of a mountain hut on Čavna) February 1945. The army was going to the end, from the burned forest house on Čavna towards Bevrci, three partisans went. At the top of Bevrce they stopped for a moment and looked down at the snow-covered Planota. In the white snow were black lines - the scorched walls of ruined homes. «A lot of work awaits us after the war,» sighed the partisan with officer's embroidery on his sleeve. - «Only that this cursed war ends once, then we will,» replied the other. The third said nothing. With his eyes he prayed to Planota and searched for his house. He was Famečk from Otlice .. «We go,» he almost sharply ordered, «Čepovano is still far away!» They descended down the forest path. All of a sudden, as in dreamlike visions, they saw the Germans before them. From the numbness, they were thrown by the machine gun fire and the firing of rifles. They jumped under the road into the slope .. Both officers were hit, Faméčk disappeared among the beeches .. (Cvetko Blaško - Firarju)

The three partisans were: head of the People's Defense for Slovenian Primorska Anton Dragar - Nedeljko, from Dragomelj near Domžalah; commander of the defense unit of the regional headquarters of the People's Defense for Slovenian Primorska Zvonko Jelen; and the quartermaster of the XXXth Division Famečk from Otlice.
