The deeper and more extended scan of the Galactic Plane by H.E.S.S. during 2005 and 2006 has revealed a number of new point-like as well as extended sources. We will present and discuss cases where the VHE emission detected by HESS could be associated to pulsar wind nebulae around young pulsars in our Galaxy.
