Carinthia (Slovenia)
Carinthia ( sl, Koroška ; german: Kärnten), also Slovene Carinthia or Slovenian Carinthia (''Slovenska Koroška''), is a traditional region in northern Slovenia. The term refers to the small southeasternmost area of the former Duchy of Carinthia, which after World War I was allocated to the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs according to the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain. It has no distinct centre, but a local centre in each of the three central river valleys among the heavily forested mountains.

The historic region has no official status as an administrative district within Slovenia, although the association with an informal province (''pokrajina'') is quite common. Geography The region lies in the Karawanks mountain range of the Southern Limestone Alps and comprises two spatially divided areas totalling : * the Meža ...
