Read it, then make it stick
Alps, Karst, Adriatic and Pannonian plains
Slovenia lies where the Alps meet the northern Adriatic, the Dinaric landscape and the Pannonian basin. It borders Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. The Julian Alps occupy the northwest, the Karawanks run along part of the Austrian frontier, and the KamnikโSavinja Alps rise north of Ljubljana. Triglav, at 2,864 metres, is the highest mountain. The short coast includes Koper, Izola and Piran on the Gulf of Trieste.
Know the shape of the country
Place sixteen cities and towns in two learning groups: Ljubljana, Alps and coast, and the eastern cities and valleys. These are separate from statistical regions and municipalities. Pins mark settlement centres on a generalised country outline; zoom in to distinguish nearby towns.
