The Franja Partisan Hospital at Dolenji Novaki near Cerkno is a cluster of functionally arranged Partisan hospital facilities located in the narrow, barely accessible Pasice Gorge, which is itself a natural attraction. The hospital complex comprises 14 wooden buildings and several small auxiliary facilities that were gradually established from December 1943 to May 1945.
The Franja Partisan Hospital is temporary closed due to storm damage in July 2023.

Velenje Castle
Velenje Castle was a strategically important fortress first mentioned in 1270 from which, together with the neighbouring castles of Šalek and Ekenštajn, various owners in the middle ages controlled the routes from the Celjska kotlina basin to Carinthia.
Today the castle houses the Velenje Museum, established in 1957 as the Museum of Slovene Coalmines. The Velenje Museum gives the castle its full functionality filling the premises with numerous exhibitions. The castle is also a popular venue for various cultural and music events organised by the Velenje Library.
