The small town is located southeast of Bleiburg in a valley basin that connects to the Bleiburg field to the south . Schattenberg is also close to the border with Slovenia, which is why the place became one of the crime scenes of the Bleiburg massacre . In May 2016, part of the Croatian government stayed in Schattenberg and remembered the victims.
