A larger partisan printing press TRIGLAV operated from March 1943 until almost the end of the war in the forest above Doljno Brigo and later in the area of Goteniški Snežnik. It had a professional and auxiliary staff and protection for over 100 men. In April 1945, large groups of occupying units and domestic collaborators withdrew from the Balkans. One group withdrew through Slovenia and Croatian Istria and occupied most of Kočevje. A larger partisan unit broke through to the printing press Triglav on 16.4. 1945 and destroyed it with mining and burning. For the printing press staff, there was no other option but to continue their work in some other printing press and at a safer location. The escape of the printing press Triglav staff began from Goteniški Snežnik, across the White Lands, Gorski Kotar to northern Dalmatia — to Zadar. The march lasted 14 days. The former Slovene partisan printing press staff was deployed to a printing press operating in Zadar. Thus, the period of the partisan printing press Triglav came to an end, which had an extremely important role in informing the population and spreading partisan press. In memory of the fallen partisan printers and in recognition of the partisan press, a memorial plaque was erected in the Medvedjek area, on the road Borovec—Draga, about 15 minutes from the town, where the partisan printing press Triglav was located during the war.

It is composed of processed granite blocks with dimensions 2x1x0,5 m (188x61x30 cm) and an embedded marble slab (40x30 cm) with a plaque. The design was prepared by Jaka Lavriša, employee of the Snežnik Kočevska Reka estate, and the work was carried out by the construction group of this company. The memorial was unveiled on 22 July 1964, on the day of the Slovene people's uprising.
