Green Facts

Slovenia writes a green story. Feel it at every step.

Three people lie on deck chairs in a city park, sunbathing and reading. There are boxes of books next to them. In the background you can see a large tree, and behind it a square surrounded by the city's most important buildings. In the distance, a forested hill with a castle tower rises.

With over 542 m² of public green areas per capita, Ljubljana is one of the greenest cities of Europe. Almost half of the green areas are covered with forests.

The largest beast in Slovenia, the brown bear, is the undisputed king of these forests and a protected species to boot.

The area of Krvavec is a part of the conservation area of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps and the Natura 2000 nature protection network.

The UNESCO Global Geopark Idrija is recognized as a geological, natural and cultural heritage site with great potential for developing sustainable geotourism.
