PST - Pot spominov in tovarištva je ena največjih ljubljanskih dragocenosti. Predstavlja sijajen stik mesta z zeleno okolico. Skozi vse leto se po njej sprehajajo prijazni ljudje, zaljubljenci, rekreativci, vrtovčki, upokojenci in vsi, ki jim je pri srcu vsakdanja, drobna sreča. Pot, ki se je Ljubljančanom trdno zasidrala v srca, je nastala v spomin na žični obroč, s katerim je italijanska fašistična vojska v začetku leta 1942 mesto spremenila v največje koncentracijsko taborišče. A 30 kilometrov bodeče žice ni preprečilo sodelovanja meščanov s partizanskim odporniškim gibanjem v okolici. Sprehodite se po Poti, raziskujte njene čare in jo tudi med iskanjem zakladov spoštujte. Povzeto po uvodniku iz knjige Najlepša pot.

PST is Slovenian acronym for »ThePath of Remembrance and Comradeship«. This »Path«, as it is usually referred to, is one of the most precious open-air treasures of Slovenian capital. Nice people, lovers, joggers, kindergarten-kids, seniors, and everybody who love simple everyday happiness can be seen using The Path all year round. This Path, today so very much liked by citizens, has been built along the route of »The ring of wire«, which occupying Italian Fascist army constructed to turn Ljubljana into the largest concentration camp in 1942. But 30 kilometers of barbed wire has not prevented communication between the city's underground Liberation Front activists and the majority of Slovene Partisans in the surrounding countryside! Come, walk along The Path, find its charms, and please, show respect to this green monument while searching for caches! Adapted after foreword from a book "Najlepša pot".

Gramozna jama v Ljubljani je tihi kraj spomina na številne zločine, ki so jih med drugo svetovno vojno v Ljubljanski pokrajini zagrešili fašisti in nacisti. Leta 1942 in 1943 so v Gramozni jami italijanski okupatorji streljali slovenske talce – kot povračilo za akcije Osvobodilne fronte in partizanov. Usmrtili so tudi tiste, pri katerih so našli orožje, protiitalijanski propagandni material ali za katere so menili, da pomagajo Osvobodilni fronti. Leta 1944 so na tem mestu nekaj talcev ustrelili tudi nemški okupatorji – a ti so mnogo več usmrtitev izvedli drugje.
Spominsko obeležje po zasnovi arhitekta Vinka Glanza so odkrili leta 1957. Ob osrednjem obelisku so štirije stebri z vklesanimi imeni talcev. Na mestu usmrtitev je postavljena bronasta skulptura umirajočega talca, ki ga je leta 1967 izdelal kipar Boris Kalin.
Leta 2003 je bila Gramozna jama s spominskim obeležjem in kipom, razglašena za spomenik lokalnega pomena.
Kalinov kip so jeseni 2011 ukradli. Izkazalo se je, da so kip razrezali in posamezne dele prodali trgovcem z odpadnimi kovinami. Ključne dele kipa so pravočasno našli in jih poslali v rekonstrukcijo v livarno Boruta Kamška na Volavlje. 18. julija 2012 so v Gramozni jami postavili kopijo kipa talca, izdelano po rekonstruiranem originalu, ki je zdaj shranjen v muzeju.
Gramozna jama (gravel pit) in Ljubljana is a quiet place of remembrance for the many crimes committed by fascists and Nazis in the Second World War in the Province of Ljubljana. In 1942 and 1943 Italian occupiers executed Slovenian hostages in the Gramozna jama - as reimbursement for Liberation Front and partisans' campaigns. Among the executed were also people found with weapons, counter Italian propaganda or those considered to help Liberation Front. In 1944 some hostages have been shot by the German occupiers here as well – but Germans carried out far more executions elsewhere.
The memorial designed by the architect Vinko Glanz was finished in 1957. It has a central obelisk and four columns with engraved names of the hostages. At the site of executions bronze sculpture of a dying hostage by sculptor Boris Kalin was placed in 1967.
In 2003 Gramozna jama with memorial and bronze sculpture was declared a memorial site of local importance.
The bronze sculpture of hostage was stolen in Autumn 2011. It turned out the sculpture was cut and sold in parts to scrap metal dealers. The key parts were found in time and sent to reconstruction to the foundry of Borut Kamšek in Volavlje. On July 18, 2012 a copy of the sculpture, made from the reconstructed original, was placed in Gramozna jama. Original is now stored in a museum.
