LANDSCAPES OF SLOVENIA : CONTENTS  (to return to the main page, click here)

IMPORTANT: Place names in Slovenia often contain characters with accents, which are not included in western European fonts. Accented characters such as these often appear incorrectly when viewed on the web and if used may be replaced by unrecognizable symbols when viewed on a different computer. Accented characters in the place names shown here have therefore been replaced by characters without accents. However, in the book, the appropriate font has been used to ensure that all place names appear with the correct accents.
