HR

Passo della morte (Prijevoj smrti) talijanski je toponim za cestovni prijevoj na putu Klana - Gumance. Izloženost ovog mjesta vjetrovima i sniježnim zapusima dovela je do potrebe za izgradnjom zaštitnih zidova, odnosno betonskog svoda iznad usjeka kojim je prolazila cesta iz Klane, „tunela“ koji je poznat svim izletnicima i planinarima koji dolaze uživati u dobro očuvanim šumama i svježem zraku. Iznad tunela, sa svake strane usjeka iznad kojeg je prolazila cesta prema kasarni na Železnim vratima („Porte di Ferro“) nalazio se po jedan betonski spomenik izgrađen od strane talijanske vojske. Zapadni je izgrađen u sjećanje na 2 vojnika koja su izgubila život u snježnom nevremenu na ovom mjestu i od njega je ostao samo temelj. Istočni spomenik je djelomično sačuvan a podignut je u čast brigadi koja izgradila ovu cestu. Ovo je također rijetki primjer sačuvanog oblika "fascia".

Passo della morte (The pass of death) is an Italian toponym for a pass on the road Klana - Gumance. Exposure of this place to winds and snowy gusts led to the need for the construction of protective walls and concrete vault above the pass. This "tunnel" is very well known to all hikers and excursioners who come here to enjoy the well-preserved forests and fresh air. Above the tunnel, there was a road to the barracks Porte di Ferro (Iron gates). From both sides, the Italian army built concrete monuments. Twe western one, with only preserved foundation, was built in memory of 2 soldiers who lost their life on this place in a snow blizzard. The eastern monument is well preserved and it was built in honor of the brigade who built the road. This is also a rare preserved monument with the "fascio" shape.
