Lovrenc na Pohorju

Lovrenc na Pohorju is best known in Slovenia for the Lovrenc Lakes, a group of peat-bog pools on the high Pohorje Plateau. The settlement lies in the wooded Pohorje range above the Drava Valley, where streams and forest roads lead into one of northeastern Slovenia’s principal upland areas. The lakes form part of a protected peatland environment and are reached by marked walking routes; timber boardwalks help protect this sensitive wetland. In the centre, the parish church of St Lawrence recalls the saint from whom the settlement takes its name.

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.
