On October 4, 1944, a great drama took place here. The forester's house was a place where the resistance had radio contact. The place was betrayed and with a huge military force, many died, including the forest ranger's wife and some of her children.
Now a special memorial.

The house is no longer there, but the information board indicates what happened here during the Second World War.

The ruins form one large memorial for local resistance heroes who fell just before the end of the Second World War. An orchard was planted next to the ruins.
