Slovenia
Slovenia is a country with an excellent geographic position at the crossroads of routes leading from the
cold north to the warm Mediterranean south. On no more than 20,000 square kilometres, a
fascinating variety of landscapes can be found, ranging from the Mediterranean seaside and stone
Karst to the Alps and the Pannonian lowlands. Equally diverse and attractive is the cultural heritage of
Slovenia and its people. For further information about Slovenia, see
