Historyedit
In 1906 the 7,976-metre-long (26,168 ft) two-rail track Karawanks railway tunnel was built at Hrušica and in 1991 the 7,864-metre-long (25,801 ft) road tunnel was completed.
Mass gravesedit
Hrušica is the site of three mass graves from the period immediately after the Second World War.[4] All of the graves contain the remains of Home Guard prisoners of war that were repatriated from Austria after the war and murdered. Each site contains the remains of an unknown number of victims. The Hrušica No. 56 Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče za hišo Hrušica 56) is located behind the house at Huršica no. 56.[5] The Hrušica 1 Mass Grave (Grobišče Hrušica 1) lies 40 metres (130 ft) east of the house at Hrušica no. 83,[6] and the Hrušica 2 Mass Grave (Grobišče Hrušica 2) lies on the slope above it.[7]
