Description of your community:
School is situated in the city called Brezice on south-east of Slovenia (Europe). And now some informations about Brezice (from our web pages):
Brezice is situated in a basin just north of where the Krka flows into the river Sava. It lies in a charming area of gently rolling hills, vineyards, presses and the Sava River flowing into Croatia. The water tower is a protected monument. Together with the castle it is identified by the name Brezice.

There are more than a hundred castles in Slovenia, and one of the best preserved and arranged is in Brezice. It contains the longest secular Baroque painted space in Slovenia - the knights' hall. It contains the Posavje museum, which presents the history of places along the Sava. The settlements grew beside the castle, and was given the name "civitas Rein", meaning town on the banks of the river.

Terme Catez
Today, while the complex of Terme Catez some three kilometres south-east of Brezice attracts those suffering from aches and pains, it is as much a recreational area - and one of the friendliest in Slovenia.
