Slovenia is a place in central Europe where the mighty Alps meet with the colourful Mediterranean, the peaceful Pannonian Plain and the mysterious Karst. It is a place where green prevails – and there is a special shade of green in Slovenia, Slovenian green. Where nature is a source of green tranquillity. Where nature is an inspiration for an active lifestyle in harmony with itself.

About one third of Slovenia's territory is protected within the framework of the Natura 2000 European network of nature-protected areas.
