unesco

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 2010, in Slovenia. The territory of the biosphere reserve is bounded by the Savinja and Sotla rivers. It is a colourful mosaic between the Alpine and Pannonian worlds, resulting in a unique landscape. Hills, ravines, gorges, rock outcrops, karst hollows, caves and abysses, waterfalls, springs and meanders, along with numerous fossil remains, meadow orchards and dry meadows, form a natural environment that is home to exceptional plant and animal species.
