The Franja Partisan Field Hospital is a unique memorial which has preserved its authentic appearance to the present day. The hospital named after the partisan doctor Franja Bojc Bidovec was active from 1943 to 1945 in the area in which the 9th Corps of the Slovene partisan army operated. Suspicions that the location of the hospital was betrayed to the Germans caused it to be evacuated on several occasions, but the staff and wounded returned to it every time. A total of 522 wounded of different nationalities were treated in the hospital. At the end of the war there were 11 shacks in the ravine, including one for X-ray excaminations, and even a power station, medicines and medical supplies were collected by field organisations and accasionally sent by the Western Allies. The hospital has also been proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO`s list of World Heritage Sites.
