Kočevje
Kočevska is characterized by its significant history.

The memories of Kočevje Germans are still alive across the land at present, and can be seen and explored in the Kočevje Regional Museum. The premises of the Kočevje Regional Museum are in former Sokolski House, today known as Šeško House, where the Assembly of Slovenian national delegates was held in 1943.

The true challenge today is empowering people to follow this development and rebuild the city identity – how to create a blend of traditional and the new.
