Two Municipalities, One Destination

In the midst of a mighty landscape, which is mostly covered by forest, two municipalities intertwine. Kočevje and Kostel together form the destination of Kočevsko. Discover and experience the numerous activities that are offered and set yourself on new adventures

Kočevje

Kočevje is the largest municipality and at the same time the economic, tourist, cultural and educational centre of Kočevsko. The karst River Rinža flows through the town, which gives it a special charm. When going on an adventure into the secret forests, you can combine them with urban and culturally-rich experiences. Visit the events, enjoy the art of the sculptor Stane Jarm and get to know the history of the region.

Kostel

The landscape of Kostel is adorned with unspoilt nature and rich cultural heritage. The town is best known for the newly restored Kostel Castle, which lies on a pointed hill above the River Kolpa. From the mighty castle complex you can see picturesque views of the valley of the River Kolpa. Explore numerous karst caves, admire the Nežica waterfall and climb to the Kuželj natural window in search of an extraordinary view.
