Reka is the site of a mass grave from the end of the Second World War. The Reka No. 20 Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče pri domačiji Reka 20) is located southwest of the village center, on a steep slope about 50 m southwest of the farm at Reka no. 20. It contains the remains of 14 Croatian civilians that were shot by a Partisan unit in May 1945 and buried in the orchard below the farm.
