EŠD: not available

The grave represents a section of approximately 0.60 x 2.00 m, framed by concrete edges. The memorial stone is also made of concrete, consisting of a base of approximately 1.00 x 0.40 x 0.20 m, on which there is a concrete slab of 0.50 x 0.60 m with an engraved inscription, which is difficult to read due to erosion. The slab is held by two small pillars, both made of concrete; the smaller one is shorter than a vase, the taller one is 1.00 m high, and on the left side it also has a cross made of white stone attached to it.

Hostnik Lojze - Jovo fell on the night of 31 July 1944 as the deputy commander of the IV. operational sector during an attack on the German outpost at Ljubno in the Savinja Valley, where he was also buried until the end of the war. After the war, his mother exhumed him and reburied him at the local cemetery in Gabrovka.

In the same grave, she was also buried in 1965.
