Maribor: Zgornje Radvanje: Maribor Pohorje - Lower funicular station
Among the places of the Lavanttal Alps, Maribor stands out for its position between the Drava River and the forested slopes of Pohorje. Slovenia’s second-largest city spreads along the Drava in the country’s northeast, while Mariborsko Pohorje rises immediately to the southwest with ski runs, lifts and a dense woodland belt. This close link between an urban centre and mountain terrain gives the area an unusually active edge. In the riverside Lent district, the Old Vine is traditionally regarded as the world’s oldest grapevine; it is a defining emblem of Maribor’s long association with wine. The surrounding Styrian region is one of Slovenia’s principal wine-growing areas, and local white wines are central to its food culture.

Maribor has served as a trading centre in the Drava Valley since the Middle Ages. Slovenia’s second-largest city spreads along the Drava beneath the wooded slopes of Pohorje, where vineyards and wine roads begin close to the urban centre. The Lent district preserves the old riverside quarter, while the 15th-century Maribor Castle houses the Regional Museum Maribor. At Old Vine House grows a Žametovka vine, estimated at more than 400 years old and recognised as the world’s oldest still fruiting grapevine. Maribor was also a European Capital of Culture in 2012.

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.
