1. Slovenia looks like a chicken
Slovenian believe that the shape of their country resembles a chicken. Let’s look at the map together, this is Slovenia. Look at the picture below, I am sure you can’t neglect the similarity.
This might sound funny, but there is a website whose name translates to “mother chicken” and it is a source of information on Slovenia.
2. Slovenia is home to 8,000 caves
Slovenia is famous for its beautiful landscapes and mountain scenery, but its natural wonders are also deep underground. This country is home to 8,000 caves. However, only 20 of them are open to visitors. If you are wondering why it’s because most of the caves are unsafe and difficult to explore.
If you are in Slovenia, I highly recommend visiting Postojna Cave, a 2 million years old cave and one of the most visited attractions in the country.
3. The only living baby dragon is in Slovenia
The olm, also known as baby dragon, lives in Postojna Cave in Slovenia. This creature can live up to 100 years and only breeds once or twice a decade. Some people believe this ancient creature is proof that dragons existed.
4. Slovenia is only 30 years old
Slovenia is a young country and it became an independent republic in 1991. It was also the first former Yugoslav republic to join the European Union.
5. There are more than 46 dialects in Slovenia
Slovene, also known as Slovenian is the official language in Slovenia. This language is spoken by the entire country which is only 2.3 million people, but this language is very diverse and has more than 46 dialects.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
