About location

Cerklje na Gorenjskem occupies the northern edge of the Ljubljana Basin in Slovenia’s Upper Carniola region. The settlement lies beneath the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, where cultivated land and woodland form a transition from the plain to the mountains. Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, Slovenia’s principal international airport, stands at nearby Brnik and connects the area with European destinations. The airport received its present name in 2007 in honour of Jože Pučnik, a leading figure in Slovenia’s democratic opposition and independence movement. Cerklje retains a rural character despite its proximity to Ljubljana, while the municipality extends upward towards the Krvavec ski area.

Country Slovenia

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.
