Mountain saddles
A saddle is a topographic low point along a ridge between two higher summits or elevated areas, producing a seat-like profile in the surrounding terrain. It can connect slopes or drainage heads and may coincide with a pass, but a saddle is fundamentally a landform rather than a route or transport crossing. Its identity is relative to neighboring high ground.
Waterfalls
A waterfall is a named point or reach where a river or stream descends abruptly over a vertical face, steep rock step, or sequence of drops. Its form may reflect resistant rock layers, faulting, glacial hanging valleys, lava flows, river incision, or changing channel geometry. The category includes single drops and cascades recognized as one feature but does not imply perennial flow or a particular height.
Glaciers
A glacier is a persistent body of land ice formed through the long-term accumulation and compaction of snow and capable of deforming or flowing under its own weight. Glaciers occupy mountain valleys, icefields, plateaus, or polar terrain and shape landscapes through erosion, transport, deposition, and meltwater. The category excludes seasonal snowfields and sea ice unless a source explicitly identifies a true glacier.
Ridges
A ridge is an elongated crest or connected line of high ground that separates slopes, valleys, drainage basins, or neighboring terrain. Ridges can result from erosion, folding, faulting, volcanic construction, glacial shaping, or resistant rock layers and may contain multiple summits or saddles. The type describes the linear landform rather than an extended mountain range or an individual peak.
Regional collection of natural water sources.
Natural springs
Explore a comprehensive set of natural springs situated within the protected areas of Slovenia. This atlas clarifies the geological and hydrological context of each outlet, identifying how groundwater emerges from aquifers to influence the surrounding terrain and downstream river systems across the country.
