Martuljek mountain group (Siroka pec, Oltar, Spik), Triglav National Park, Julian Alps, Gozd Martuljek town, Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, Europe

Pink and white flowers bloom in a driveway beneath the Julian Alps, Slovenia, Europe. The Martuljek mountain group rises high above the town of Gozd Martuljek ("Martuljek Forest," formerly known as Rute) in the Julian Alps, Kranjska Gora, Upper Carniola, Slovenia. Left to right are the following peaks: Siroka pec (2497 meters/8192 feet); Oltar (2621 m); and the pyramid of Spik ("Spike," 2472 m/8110 feet); all within Triglav National Park (in Slovene: Triglavski narodni park, TNP). Historically, four linguistic and cultural groups of Europe have met in Slovenia: Slavic, Germanic, Romance, and Uralic. In 1991, Slovenia declared full sovereignty from Yugoslavia. In the 2002 census, 83% considered themselves Slovenes. Today, Slovenia is a member of the European Union, the Eurozone, the Schengen area, NATO and OECD. Per capita, Slovenia is the richest Slavic nation-state.
