Kuželj (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈkuːʒɛl/; German: Kuschel[2]) is a small village on the left bank of the Kolpa River in the Municipality of Kostel in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]
