Hrušica

Built around transport routes beneath the Karawanks, Hrušica grew into a small Slovenian settlement above Jesenice near the Austrian border. It lies on the southern side of the Karawanks range, where the Sava Dolinka valley forms a key corridor through northwestern Slovenia. Hrušica is closely associated with the southern portals of the Karawanks road and railway tunnels, which connect Slovenia with Austria. The railway tunnel opened in 1906 as part of the Transalpine Railway, giving this compact place a lasting role in cross-Alpine travel. Forested slopes and the industrial town of Jesenice define the local setting. Trace how Hrušica belongs to the wider Karawanks borderland by browsing webcams nearby.
