Presentationof Slovenia
Hello!
Wewilltellyou something about Slovenia but first we will tell you something about us. We are a group of 24 students from BC Naklo and we all visit gymnasium. Some of us are in our third year and some are in their second. We are very happy to be here.
Now something about our country. Slovenia is 20 km2 big and it is located in the extreme south of Central Europe. It's population is 2 millions. Around Slovenia there are Austria, Italy, Croatia and Hungary.
The capital is Ljubljana which is also the biggest city. It is located in center of Slovenia. Through Ljublana flows river Ljublanica which is one of the best known rivers in our country. There are two hills around our capital city: Rožnik and Šmarna gora and we also find Ljubljana's marsh at the end of this city. There are many churches, museums, universities and schools in Ljublana. The oldest part of city is center and it is full of cultural heritage like Triple bridge, statues, stadium Jože Plečnik and others. Ljubljana has an old castle too.
But Ljubljana isn't the only interesting place to see in Slovenia. Bled lake is the most beautiful lake in our country. It has a little island in the middle with a church on it. Above this lake on a cliff there is also an old castle.
But this lake isn't the only one. There is also Bohinj lake which is the biggest. It is surrounded with beautiful mountains and the nature is stunning. Waterfall Savica is also near this lake and it is very beautiful.
In Lipica we have stud farm where slovenian horses are kept. They are called lipicanec and it is very important piece of our heritage.
Slovenia has also sea side. It is 42 km long and a lot of beautiful cities are by the sea. Two of them are Piran and Portorož.
We have vineyards too. Some of them are Goriška Brda, Haloze and Slovenska Gorica.
One of the best known thins in Slovenia is Postojna cave. It is our biggest cave and proteus lives in it. It is endemic which means it lives only in Slovenia and nowhere alse.
Our biggest mountain is Triglav which is 2864 m above sea level. There are Triglav lakes under it.
We don't justhave beautiful nature but also some celebraties like Slavko Avsenik who is one of the best known musician from Slovenia. Our president is Borut Pahor and Tina Maze is our best alpine skier of all times. There are also Dejan Zavec who is world-famous professional boxer and Anže Kopitar who is world-famous hockey player. We have ski jumpers too. Two of them are Peter Prevc and Robert Kranjec.
We hope that you enjoyed our presentation and that you learnt something new.
