Sabonje (pronounced [saˈboːnjɛ]; Italian: Sabogna) is a village southwest of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]

Unmarked grave[edit]

Sabonje is the site of an unmarked grave from the end of the Second World War. The Podbeže No. 40 Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Podbeže 40) lies under a walnut tree opposite the house at Podbeže no. 40. It contains the remains of a German soldier from the 97th Corps that fell at the beginning of May 1945.[3]

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Parish of Podgrad.[4]
