Sveta Gora , Slovenia

The first official for today comes from Slovenia making it the first written and stamped card from that country in my collection ! So that leaves me waiting a w&s card from Montenegro ( I have tonz of blank ones ) and the only ex-Yugoslav country I have 0 cards from remains Bosnia Hercegovina ( any of you going there soon?? :D ) The card shows the pilgrim basilica in Sveta Gora ( Slovene for Holy Mountain ) located on a hill 682m high near the town of Nova Gorica. It is said that the view from up there is excellent and on a clear day visitors can see as far as Istria , Venice & the Dolomites ! ( Sounds promising ;-) ) Hvala Joze 

Maribor, Slovenia

My only card from Slovenia and unfortunately a blank one . Maribor is the 2nd largest city in Slovenia , after their capital Ljubljana. In the card  you can see Slomškov trg ( square) .Took its name from the Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek because he had transferred the seat of the Lavantine diocese from St. Andraž in Koroška to Maribor. By the way Maribor is along with Guimarães in Portugal the 2012 European Capital of Culture. Thanks to Suzana !
