Hrpelje-Kozina: R2-409, Kozina - Kastelec, Beka
Beka occupies a forested limestone plateau in Slovenia’s Karst region, close to the Italian border. It belongs to the area administered from Hrpelje-Kozina, where roads cross dry, stony ground between the Adriatic hinterland and inland Slovenia. The Karst Plateau is formed of soluble limestone, so water commonly drains underground and the surface is marked by dolines rather than broad rivers. Around Beka, pine and oak woodland alternates with scrub and exposed rock. Traditional farmsteads in nearby settlements are built from local stone, reflecting the region’s long-established limestone building tradition.

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.
