Starse: A4/E59, Maribor - Gruškovje, Prepolje
Tucked into the Drava Plain, Starše is a place whose character is shaped by fertile alluvial farmland and the nearby Drava River. Beside Prepolje, the A4 motorway forms part of Slovenia’s main road connection from Maribor towards Ptuj and the Croatian border. Broad, level fields, drainage ditches and strips of woodland give this part of the plain its open agricultural pattern, while the Pohorje range rises to the west. Starše belongs to a chain of settlements spread across the lowland, where farming and road transport meet. The nearby town of Ptuj is closely associated with Kurentovanje, a traditional carnival celebration and one of Slovenia’s best-known cultural events.

The Parish Church of St John the Baptist forms a local landmark, while the municipality belongs to the traditional Štajerska, or Styria, cultural region.

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.
