The Naral's sign stands on a hill, northwest of the village, along the cart track from Trebča vas to Zafara in Žužemberk. It consists of a wooden sign with a cast-iron cross, a stone base with the year 1896 and three columns with cup-shaped ends with the years 1875 and 1884. The sign was carved and erected by an old Radetzky soldier Jože Novak, nicknamed Naral, from Trebča vas in gratitude for his safe return from the war. The Naral's sign is one of the extremely rare examples of signs in Dolenjska, which commemorate the participation of Slovenian soldiers in the Austrian army, which, under the leadership of Marshal Radetzky, suppressed the Italian uprising during the March Revolution of 1848 in Lombardy and Veneto, with a victory in the Battle of Custozza. In addition, the stonemasonry details indicate a well-trained self-taught stonemason, who engaged in stonemasonry solely for his own needs.
