Hier befand sich einst ein Friedhof, doch die Natur hat die Gräber zurückerobert. Nur die Ruinen einer Kapelle erinnern noch an die 22 Menschen, die auf dieser Anhöhe bestattet wurden. Sie waren Arbeiter, die zwischen 1903 und 1906 beim gefährlichen Bau des nur wenige hundert Meter entfernten Karawankenbahntunnels ums Leben kamen, oder Angehörige der dort beschäftigten Männer. Unter den Bestatteten befanden sich auch Opfer von Gewalttaten im Umfeld der Baustelle, drei tot geborene Babys und ein unbekannter Mann. Nach der Fertigstellung des Tunnels geriet die Kapelle in Vergessenheit, bevor sie im Kärntner Abwehrkampf 1919 – zweckentfremdet als Deckung – wieder in den Fokus beziehungsweise ins Schussfeld rückte. Bei Gefechten zwischen Kärntnern und Soldaten des jugoslawischen SHS-Staates, die Teil der Bahnstrecke besetzt hatten, wurde das Gotteshaus innen und außen schwer beschädigt. Zurück blieb ein bis heute dachloses Skelett.
