Celje: Airfield | LJCL | Slovenia

Celje occupies a river-valley position on the Savinja in eastern Slovenia. Once the Roman town of Celeia, it later became the seat of the Counts of Celje, a powerful medieval dynasty whose three stars are now incorporated into Slovenia’s national coat of arms. Celje Castle rises on a hill above the town and remains the most prominent reminder of that era. The compact centre combines historic streets, civic squares and riverside walks, while the surrounding Savinja Valley links the city with Slovenia’s wooded interior.

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.
