Not far from the church of St. Lawrence at Zalošče, a cemetery of Austro-Hungarian soldiers is located. Not many visible traces of this cemetery survive. The only memento is the central monument dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the 22nd Regiment of Reservists from the Chernivtsi (Czernowitz) recruitment area in the onetime Bukowina (now in Ukraine). According to the data of Italian authorities that organized exhumation of soldiers from military cemeteries in the 1930s, 201 soldiers are buried here.
Register of the Fallen Soldiers
The two military cemeteries lie at the fringe of Zalošče. The military cemetery Zalošče I is situated in the immediate vicinity of the Church of St. Lawrence at Zalošče, and the military cemetery Zalošče II is situated on the hill northeast of the village.
The easiest access to the cemetery Zalošče I is by the road from Dornberk to Zalošče. At the first turnoff in Zalošče (just behind the bridge over the Vipava), turn right and follow the signposts for the Church of St. Lawrence.
The easiest access to the cemetery Zalošče II is by the road from Zalošče towards Batuje. At the end of the village of Zalošče turn left on a macadam track, after less than 150 metres turn right at the first fork, then the cart track leads you through the vineyards to the edge of the hill, where the military cemetery lies in a clearing of a minor grove.
