Pivka Valley

Tu pride flash

Pivka Valley is part of Slovenian kras, a unique limestone geological area, marked by underground rivers, intermittent lakes and rivers, and numerous caves. Postojna Cave and Škocjan Cave are the largest and most accessible, attracting an unending stream of visitors. Pivka river emerges in Zagorje, flows partly on the surface, partly underground along the Pivka Valley, depending on the season and the rainfall, disappears underground into Postojna cave system, to reappear as Unica in the Planinsko polje, there continuing its performance as vanishing river and occasionally as a lake.

Pivka valley and Planinsko polje are well worth a visit. This is a karst region of unspoilt beauty and unique natural phenomena.

Sloveniana Photolog

The collection of visual impressions of Slovenian landscape, both rural and urban, is a photographic attempt to present a multilayered historical country with deep imprints of the long and fascinating history of Slovenia, traced through preserved historical buildings, townships and villages, and museums which contain ancient artifacts and documents.

There is a particular focus on the capital city Ljubljana, with its 2,000 years recorded history, which is reflected in phenomenal urban planning, architecture from Roman to the post-modern period, and exciting recent archeological discoveries.

Slovenia is comprised of six topographical regions, possessing a complex network of watercourses and lakes. The albums offer a panoramic view of the diversity of Slovenian regions, from the snow-covered peaks of the Alps, and fertile Pannonian plains in the north, the rolling green hills of the centre and thermal mineral springs of the north-east, to the mysterious Karst with its wonderous caves and vanishing waterways, and the picturesque Adriatic coastline in the south.
