About location

Tucked into the Ljubljana Basin beneath the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, Cerklje na Gorenjskem is a place whose character is shaped by flat farmland at the edge of the mountains. The municipality includes Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport at Brnik, Slovenia’s principal international airport. Its runways and airport buildings stand amid cultivated fields and low woodland, while the town of Cerklje lies north-west of the airfield. Above the basin, the slopes of Krvavec form one of Slovenia’s major ski areas. The airport honours Jože Pučnik, a leading figure in Slovenia’s democratic opposition and independence movement.

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.
