SLOVENIA Slovenia lies in the heart of Europe, where the Alps meet the Mediterranean and the Pannonian Plain meets the Karst. This small green country measures 20,273 km 2 in area. Občina Bohinj je ena od občin v Republiki Sloveniji. The collision of four major European geographical units has created a very invigorating landscape, much of it thickly forested. More than a third of the country s area is protected. Občini pripada razsežno ozemlje v dolini Save Bohinjke s tesno Sotesko, Nomenjskim kotličem, Spodnjo Bohinjsko dolino, južnim pobrežjem Bohinjskega jezera, Zgornjo Bohinjsko dolino in območja na planotah Pokljuka in Jelovica. Na severu se meja drži skalnih sten in vrhov nad prepadnim levim bregom Save Bohinjke, na jugu poteka preko gorskih planot in vrhov bohinjskega grebena ob nekdanji državni meji; od Vogla (1923 mnm) čez Črno prst (1844 m) do Možica (1602 m), odtod dalje pa po robu Ratitovčeve planjave (Črni vrh 1487 m, Gladki vrh 1672 m in 1666 m). Zahodna meja gre po slemenih jugozahodno od jezera (Konjski vrh, 1527 m; Mala Škrbina, 1996 m), vzhodna pa vključuje še dobršen del prave Jeloviške planote (Javorov vrh, 1580 m; Macesnovec, 1312 m; Črna peč, 1273 m). Rečna zajeda Save Bohinjke med Pokljuko in Jelovico, vrezana v debele apnene sklade, se tostran Soteske v Nomenjskem kotliču razširi, strmine v mehkejših tleh zložno prehajajo v široko tektonsko depresijo Bohinjske kotline; pred jezerskim kotlom se dolina zopet zapre. The most mountainous region is the north, where the Alps begin. The Julian Alps and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps have many stunning sharp peaks. The peaks of the Karavanke, the mountains bordering Austria, are more gentle. Much of the east of the country between two biggest cities, Ljubljana and Maribor is uplands. There are gentler hills in the south-east and east, where the vine flourishes, while plains and basins populate the areas between the hills. The capital city Ljubljana and its region lies in the largest basin. Slovenia also has a large plains area, as the east of the country is part of the Pannonian Plain. Not only is the land surface very invigorating, there are also wonders underground: some of the country s 9,000 karstic caves are among the most beautiful in the world, Postojna and Škocjan Caves on south-east are the most popular. Slovenia is home to 2 million sincere, hospitable people of great diligence. Slovenians constantly want to prove themselvese, that is why Slovenia has an exceptional number of top athletes, and a wealth of cultural creativity. Slovenia is a member of European Union since 1st May 2004 and has excepted European currency Euro as national currency on 1st January 2007. Welcome back anytime.
