Slovenia is situated at the meeting of central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Alps. The Alps--including the Julian Alps, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps[?] and the Karawanken[?] chain, as well as the Pohorje[?] -- dominate northern Slovenia nearAustria. Slovenia's Adriatic coastline extends for approximately 50 kilometers (39 mi.) from Italy to Croatia. The term "karst" -- a limestone region of underground rivers, gorges, and caves -- originated in Slovenia's Karst plateau between Ljubljana and the Italian border. On the Pannonian plain to the east and northeast, toward the Croatian and Hungarian borders, the landscape is essentially flat. However, the majority of Slovenian terrain is hilly or mountainous, with around 90% of the surface 200 meters or more above sea level.
