Sezana: Štorje

Sežana combines the calm scale of a small town with the limestone terrain of the Karst Plateau in a way that reflects its position beside Slovenia’s Italian border. It stands in the Kras region, where water has shaped sinkholes and underground caves rather than broad river valleys. Nearby Lipica is home to the Lipica Stud Farm, founded in 1580, where the Lipizzaner breed was developed. Sežana was also the birthplace, in 1904, of poet Srečko Kosovel, a major voice in Slovene modernism.

Slovenia occupies a meeting point of the Alps, the Pannonian Plain, the Dinaric mountains and the Adriatic coast in south-central Europe. The Julian Alps rise in the northwest, where Triglav is the country’s highest mountain, while the Soča River is known for its clear turquoise water. Karst terrain has shaped caves such as Postojna Cave and the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ljubljana combines a riverside old town with works by architect Jože Plečnik; farther east, wine-growing regions and thermal springs add another dimension. Slovenian food reflects Alpine, Mediterranean and Balkan influences. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Slovenia and the northern Adriatic.
