Blatnik pri Črmošnjicah

Blatnik pri Črmošnjicah (Germ. Rußbach) was a Gottschee German village. The cemetery was established next to the church before 1824 and was used for burials for the village of Blatnik only. Nine stones bearing eleven names remain and have been restored, as well as two cast-iron crosses. Most of the other crosses were removed for scrap metal. During the interwar period, thirty-five burials were registered at the cemetery, the last in 1940. (Source: Mitja Ferenc & Gojko Zupan, Izgubljene kočevske vasi , vol. 1 (2011), p. 77.)
