Ajdovscina

Ajdovščina occupies the upper Vipava Valley in western Slovenia. The Hubelj, a short karst river rising at the town’s edge, passes through its centre before joining the Vipava. This is burja country: the cold, forceful wind descending from the Karst plateau is part of local identity and has influenced the valley’s long tradition of wine and fruit growing. Remains of Castra, a late-Roman fortified settlement, survive in the centre, including sections of defensive walls and towers. The valley extends west towards the Karst and east towards Slovenia’s interior. Trace Ajdovščina’s place in the Vipava Valley by browsing webcams nearby.
