Franja Partisan Hospital
Franja Partisan Hospital, Secret partisan hospital in Cerkno, Slovenia
The hospital complex consists of 14 wooden buildings situated within a narrow gorge, connected by wooden bridges over Cerinščica stream.
From December 1943 to May 1945, this clandestine medical facility treated over 600 wounded soldiers while remaining undetected by German forces.
The hospital demonstrates international medical cooperation as it provided care to patients from multiple nations, including both Allied and Axis soldiers.
The museum maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours through restored buildings that showcase medical equipment and personal artifacts.
Patients were transported to the facility blindfolded at night, crossing retractable bridges that prevented enemy forces from discovering its location.
