Slovenia<\/strong>, country<\/a> in central Europe<\/a> that was part of Yugoslavia<\/a> for most of the 20th century. Slovenia is a small but topographically diverse<\/a> country made up of portions of four major European geographic landscapes\u2014the European Alps<\/a>, the karstic Dinaric Alps<\/a>, the Pannonian and Danubian lowlands and hills, and the Mediterranean coast. Easily accessible mountain passes (now superseded by tunnels) through Slovenia\u2019s present-day territory have long served as routes for those crossing the Mediterranean and transalpine regions of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Slovenes are a South Slavic people with a unique language<\/a>. For most of its history, Slovenia was largely controlled by the Habsburgs<\/a> of Austria<\/a>, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire<\/a> and its successor states, the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary; in addition, coastal portions were held for a time by Venice<\/a>. As part of Yugoslavia, Slovenia came under communist rule for the bulk of the post-World War II<\/a> period. With the dissolution of the Yugoslav federation in 1991, a multiparty democratic political system<\/a> emerged. Slovenia\u2019s economic prosperity in the late 20th century attracted hundreds of thousands of migrants from elsewhere in the Balkans<\/a>. In the early 21st century, Slovenia integrated<\/a> economically and politically with western Europe, joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization<\/a> as well as the European Union<\/a> in 2004. Slovenia\u2019s capital and most important city is Ljubljana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia is bordered by Austria<\/a> to the north and Hungary<\/a> to the far northeast. To the east, southeast, and south, Slovenia shares a 416-mile- (670-km-) long border with Croatia<\/a>. To the southwest Slovenia is adjacent<\/a> to the Italian port city of Trieste<\/a> and occupies a portion of the Istrian Peninsula, where it has an important coastline along the Gulf of Venice<\/a>. Italy\u2019s<\/a> Friuli-Venezia Giulia<\/a> region is situated to the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julian Alps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Julian Alps, Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Slovenia four main physiographic regions can be distinguished. The first is the Alpine region, which takes up about two-fifths of Slovenia\u2019s surface area. In the north and northwest, along the borders with Italy and Austria, are the High Alps, comprising<\/a> the Kamnik and Savinja, the Karavanke (Karawanken<\/a>), and the Julian Alps<\/a>; the latter includes Slovenia\u2019s highest peak, Mount Triglav<\/a>, at 9,396 feet (2,864 metres). In a vale beneath Triglav lie idyllic<\/a> Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled<\/a>. Slightly lower than the High Alps is the subalpine \u201cridge-and-valley\u201d terrain. The main subalpine range is the Pohorje, located south of the Drava River<\/a>. The historical name for the central Alpine lands is Gorenjska (Upper Carniola<\/a>), a name that Slovenes still use. Slovenes refer to the Mea and Mislinja river valleys as Koro\u0161ka (Carinthia). On Gorenjska\u2019s southern edge is the spacious Ljubljana basin, which contains the capital as well as the industrial city of Kranj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia\u2019s second major physiographic region, the Kras<\/a> (Karst), a spur of the lengthy Dinaric Alps<\/a> in the southwestern part of the country, is dotted with caves and underground rivers, the characteristic features of karst<\/a> topography<\/a> (whose term is derived from the name of the region). Although it constitutes<\/a> one-fourth of Slovenia\u2019s area, the Kras region has only a fraction of the country\u2019s population, which is concentrated between the wooded limestone ridges in dry and blind valleys, hollows, and poljes. Water is scarce in this region. The Suha Krajina is a karstified plateau; the Bela Krajina is a transitional belt that contains plains and points toward the Subpannonia (Pannonian Plain). Most of the region is known to Slovenes by its historical names: Dolenjska (Lower Carniola) and Notranjska (Inner Carniola). Scientific study of karst terrain is a Slovene specialty, research having begun during the 18th century in Habsburg Carniola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next largest physiographic region (occupying one-fifth of the country) is the fertile Subpannonia; it is located in eastern and northeastern Slovenia and includes the valleys of the Sava<\/a>, Drava<\/a>, and Mura<\/a> rivers. Its basins<\/a> contain the cities of Maribor<\/a> (on the Drava) and Celje<\/a> (on the Savinja River, a tributary of the Sava). Subpannonia corresponds in part to the lower part of the old Austrian duchy of Styria; Slovenes call their portion \u0160tajerska and share some traits with their Austrian neighbours. Beyond a saddle of hills known as the Slovenske Gorice is Prekmurje<\/a>, a wheat-growing region drained by the Mura River in the extreme northeast of the country. It was ruled by Hungary until 1918; its main town is Murska Sobota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth principal region (occupying barely one-twelfth of Slovenia\u2019s surface) is Primorska, or the Slovene Littoral. It overlaps what were the Habsburg regions of Trieste<\/a> and Gorizia<\/a> and is made up of Slovenia\u2019s portion of the Istrian<\/a> Peninsula, the Adriatic hinterland<\/a>, and the So\u010da and Vipava river valleys. The 29-mile (47-km) strip of coast makes up Slovenia\u2019s riviera. The city of Koper<\/a> (just south of Trieste) is Slovenia\u2019s major port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drava River<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Drava River at Maribor, Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of Slovenia\u2019s intricate fluvial network is directed toward the Danube River<\/a>. The Sava<\/a> originates in the Julian Alps<\/a> and flows past Ljubljana toward Croatia; its narrow valley serves as a rail conduit<\/a> to Zagreb<\/a>, Croatia\u2019s capital, and farther to Belgrade<\/a>, Serbia\u2019s<\/a> capital. The Drava<\/a> enters Slovenia from the Austrian state of K\u00e4rnten<\/a>, and the Mura emerges from the Austrian state of Steiermark<\/a>; they meet in Croatia and, like the Sava, ultimately reach the Danube. In the west the So\u010da<\/a> originates beneath Mount Triglav and, after a precipitous course, reaches the Gulf of Venice in Italian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relatively steep gradients of Slovenia\u2019s topography create fast runoff, which in turn ensures most of Slovenia copious<\/a> water and hydroelectric resources. On the other hand, it also washes away valuable soil nutrients. Pollution of the rivers remains a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soils<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia\u2019s complex geology has created a pedological mosaic. The small, thick Pleistocene cover is acidic and viscid. Permeable thin brown podzols\u2014cambisols and fluvisols\u2014are productive if fertilized, but they cover only about one-tenth of its surface, chiefly to the northeast. The carbonate bedrock underlying much of the country produces thin lithosols suited to forest growth. There are many good alluvial soils (particularly in Subpannonia) as well as bog varieties. Karstic sinkholes and poljes are famous for having terra rossa<\/a>, a red soil<\/a> produced by the degradation<\/a> of the underlying limestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate of Slovenia<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia may be divided into three climatic zones. Conditions in Istria<\/a> indicate a transition from the Mediterranean climate<\/a> of the Dalmatian coast to a moderate continental climate. In the moderate zone the highest monthly precipitation (up to 15 inches [381 mm]) occurs in spring and autumn, and the highest temperatures (often rising above 80 \u00b0F [27 \u00b0C]) occur in June and July. Winter temperatures rarely drop below 50 \u00b0F (10 \u00b0C), but this mildness is sometimes interrupted by the strong bora<\/a>, a cold northerly wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central and northern Slovenia have a continental \u201ccool summer\u201d climate; the eastern third of the country<\/a> also falls into the continental category but has warm summers. Monthly summer rainfall in the cool belt is more than 3 inches (80 mm), and high temperatures average in the upper 60s F (about 20 \u00b0C), although there are uncomfortable hot spells. The east and northeast have much less overall precipitation, and midsummer highs reach well past 70 \u00b0F (21 \u00b0C). From November to February, temperature readings below freezing occur frequently, but snow cover has become less frequent and usually melts rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant and animal life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia\u2019s flora reflects the country\u2019s physiographic diversity<\/a>, especially its varying elevations. At the highest elevations below the tree line, junipers alternate with high meadowland. Lower is a central belt of coniferous and deciduous trees (birch and beech) mixed with pasturage and arable lands, and, still lower, deciduous growth including karstic heath and maquis (good for rough grazing) is found. At sea level<\/a> along the Slovene Littoral is a typically Mediterranean cover of brushwood, including maquis. Fruit and vegetable areas are scattered about the country, and forests, which are noted for their mushrooms, cover about three-fifths of the terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several animal species have been given protected status. Along with others of direct economic importance, they include the reintroduced (though still rare) ibex, the European brown bear<\/a>, the chamois, the wild boar, and red, fallow, and roe deer<\/a> as well as standard varieties of small game. The lynx has reappeared. The Subpannonian habitat suits migratory fowl and upland birds, and the trout<\/a> and grayling found in the So\u010da River are renowned among sport anglers. The Adriatic waters off Slovenia\u2019s coast are not an especially favourable environment<\/a> for fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
