Kočevske Poljane (pronounced [kɔˈtʃeu̯ːskɛ pɔˈljaːnɛ]; German: Pöllandl[2][3]) is a village in the Municipality of Dolenjske Toplice in Slovenia.

However, some Gottscheer families managed to resist and prevent expulsion, and most of these collaborated with the Partisans of the Liberation Front of the Slovene People, which had a base (Baza 20) nearby.

Their dialect Gottscheerish was forbidden after World War II, and so today there are only a few people left that speak it.

[8][9] The local parish church is dedicated to Saint Andrew and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto.
