Šentvid pri Stični: A2/E61, Karavanke - Ljubljana, odsek Lj.- Šentvid - Šmartno
Šmartno pod Šmarno goro lies along the Sava valley north of Ljubljana, where the broad Ljubljana Basin meets the wooded foothills of Šmarna Gora. The settlement stands at the northern edge of the Slovenian capital’s urban area, beside the A2 motorway corridor towards Kranj and the Gorenjska region. Šmarna Gora is a prominent isolated hill above the plain, topped by the Church of the Mother of God, a longstanding pilgrimage destination. Fields, woodland and suburban neighbourhoods meet in this part of the basin, while the nearby Sava and the motorway mark an important connection between Ljubljana and north-western Slovenia. It is a transitional landscape shaped by cultivated lowland, forested slopes and major transport routes.

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.
