Škocjan Caves
Škocjan Caves (Slovene Škocjanske jame) is a system of limestone caves in the Kras (Karst) region in SW Slovenia, containing collapsed dolines, about 5 kilometres of underground passages, caves more than 200 metres deep and many waterfalls. This is one of the most famous sites in the world for the study of karstic (limestone) phenomena. Since 1986, Škocjan Caves are on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Triglav National Park
Triglav National Park was named after Mt. Triglav (2864 m), which is also a national symbol of Slovenia. Mt. Triglav is situated almost in the middle of the national park. From it the valleys spread out radial, supplying water to two large river systems which have their sources in the Julian Alps: the Soča and the Sava, flowing to the Adriatic and Black Sea, respectively.
