We had decided that we would dig a new bunker for the wounded Volan in Bržnija under Rdečnik. Since Kristl was overburdened with work on the ground, and we did not want to entrust Grom with the hiding place for the wounded man, I took on the task myself. I found a suitable spot and started digging the bunker. During the day I dug, at night I assembled the planks and boards. Source: Franc Zalaznik-Leon, The Long and Difficult Path, p. 137

The bunker was built in dense shrubbery and forest, measuring 3x2 meters. Leon, Kristl, and the wounded Volan lived in it. Kristl left the bunker at Rdečnik because the commander Stane from Pohorje had brought a courier named Sonja. Everyone felt uneasy, so on April 15th they moved to a new bunker in Burc.

Textual location description

Na ostrem desnem ovinku nad Rštovnikom (Spodnji Razbor 67) stopimo levo na gozdno vlako in nadaljujemo pot približno osem minut v smeri Kunija. Nekje na sredi med Rštovnikom in Kunijem (pod Rdečnikom) se spustimo cca 100 metrov navzdol do Bržnije. Ob skali je bila tehnika, 2. baza sekretarja Kristla. Dostop: Gradišnik je opisal dostop po zgornjem kolovozu, možen pa je tudi po spodnjem, ki je sicer grd, a manj zahteven. Z omenjenega ostrega ovinka nad R(e)štovnikom namreč vodita proti zahodu dva kolovoza. Spodnji gre v Br(e)žnijo čez moker in blaten svet, na njem je nekaj podrtih dreves, del ga je odnesel plaz. Po tem kolovozu se prebijemo do mesta, kjer ga potoček prisili, da se obrne levo navzdol. Tam ga zapustimo in se povzpnemo desno v zaraščeno brezpotje. Do znamenja pred skalno votlinico je le še kakih 15 m. Koordinate: S 46.44337, V 15.05713.
