Hoce-Slivnica
Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport occupies the Drava Plain south of Maribor in northeastern Slovenia. It stands in the municipality of Hoče–Slivnica, between the city and the low wooded hills at the edge of the plain; the Drava River runs through Maribor to the north. Maribor is Slovenia’s second-largest city and the long-established centre of the Štajerska region, where Alpine, Pannonian and Balkan influences meet. The airport is named for Edvard Rusjan, the Slovene aviation pioneer who made a powered flight near Maribor in 1909. Its broad airfield forms part of the open agricultural belt around the city, while the Pohorje range rises beyond Maribor.

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.
