Maribor
Maribor occupies the Drava River valley in northeastern Slovenia, between the wooded slopes of Pohorje and the vine-growing hills of Slovene Styria. Slovenia’s second-largest city developed as a medieval market and river crossing, and its old centre includes the riverside Lent quarter and the Old Vine House. The vine growing on its façade is recognised as the world’s oldest living vine, reflecting a long local wine tradition. South of the river, the Pohorje massif forms a broad green presence beside the city, while vineyards and farmland extend across the lower hills and plain. Maribor is also a regional cultural and university centre, with museums, theatres and a substantial student population.

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.
