Areas of Slovenia: Primorska, Notranjska, Gorenjska, Ljubljana area, Dolenjska, Savinjsko, Pomurje.

Primorska includes the Slovene coast and its hilly hinterland. The warm Adriatic Sea enables a lively tourist industry, saltworks, and commercial fishing. The Port of Koper is the center of the region and Slovenia’s maritime gateway to the world. Due to its Mediterranean climate and fertile soil, the hilly hinterland is important for producing Mediterranean crops such as vegetables, wine, and olives.

Gorenjska

Notranjska is a predominantly hilly region, covered with karst phenomena and extensive forests. Farmers are mainly occupied with stock breeding, and the forests have encouraged the development of wood processing industries. The karst region boasts outstanding tourist attractions: the intermittent Cerknica Lake, karst caves (Postojna, Kriz, and Skocjan), and rich cave fauna such as the “human fish” (Proteus anguinus). Postojna, the center of the region, is the home of the most frequently visited karst cave in Europe and the Karst Research Institute of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Gorenjska is a highly developed alpine region with outstanding natural beauties. Mount Triglav, the highest peak in the Julian Alps, is one of Slovenia’s national symbols, and the mountains of Gorenjska are the most visited in Slovenia. The warm alpine lakes of Bled and Bohinj are very attractive, and the winter resort center of Kranjska Gora is inviting in every season. Planica hosts world championship competition in ski jumping and ski flying. Kranj, the natural center of Gorenjska, is an important industrial town.

Ljubljana area includes the central part of the Ljubljana Basin and the surrounding hills. Major European transportation routes intersect in Ljubljana. Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is home to its parliament and governmental institutions, a university, and the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. In recent decades, Ljubljana has also become Slovenia’s largest business center.

Dolenjska extends south from Ljubljana to the Kolpa River that marks the border with Croatia. This hilly karst region of numerous small settlements opened to the world after the construction of the Ljubljana-Zagreb highway in 1958. The regional center Novo mesto is today a notable industrial center (automobiles, pharmaceuticals). Beyond the Gorjanci mountain range spreads the sunny region of Bela Krajina with its numerous natural attractions and interesting folklore (music, dances, customs).

Savinjsko embraces the watershed of the more than one-hundred-kilometer length of the torrential Savinja River that runs from the high Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Karavanke Mountains to the flat Savinja Valley. The mountain world is distinguished by the glacier-carved valleys (Logarska dolina, Matkov kot, Robanov kot) that form a major tourist attraction, while the Savinja Valley is famous for its hop plantations of the “Savinja golding” variety. In the Zalek Valley, the largest lignite coal mine in Slovenia fostered industrialization and the development of the planned town of Velenje. The center of the region is Celje, once the Roman town Celeia, the seat of a principality in the 15th century, and today the third largest city in Slovenia.

Piran

Pomurje covers Slovenia’s largest plain along the Mura River between Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. To the north the plain is bordered by the hills of Goricko, and to the south by the hills of Slovenske gorice. The region is called Slovenia’s breadbasket.

Your budget will determine what and where you can buy. Your choice will often be for a smaller property in a highly desirable area or a larger property in a less popular area. Properties in a highly desirable area often prove to be a better investment as they increase in value more relative to properties of the same price in less desirable areas.
