Miren
Miren (; it, Merna) is an urbanized settlement in the Municipality of Miren-Kostanjevica in the Littoral region of Slovenia right next to the border with Italy. The hill known as Miren Castle ( sl, Mirenski grad) rises above the settlement to the south. Name The settlement was attested in written sources in 1494 as ''Merinach an der Wippach'', and in 1523 as ''Japinitz oder Merina''. The name is believed to have arisen through ellipsis of a noun phrase (e.g., *''miren grad'' 'walled castle'), leaving the adjective *''miren'' 'walled' (< *''myrьnъ''). If so, the name refers to the walls of Miren Castle above the settlement. A less likely theory derives the name from *''Marijin'' 'Mary's', referring to the pilgrimage church above the settlement.

Karst Plateau
The Karst Plateau or the Karst region ( sl, Kras, it, Carso), also locally called Karst, is a karst plateau region extending across the border of southwestern Slovenia and northeastern Italy. It lies between the Vipava Valley, the low hills surrounding the valley, the westernmost part of the Brkini Hills, northern Istria, and the Gulf of Trieste. The western edge of the plateau also marks the traditional ethnic border between Italians and Slovenes. The region gave its name to karst topography. For this reason, it is also referred to as the ''Classical Karst''. Geographical position The plateau rises quite steeply above the neighboring landscape, except for its northeastern side, where the steepness is less pronounced. The plateau gradually descends from the southeast to the southwest. On average it lies 334 m above sea level. Its western edge, known as the Karst Rim ( sl, Kraški rob), is a continuation of the Učka mountain range in eastern Istria, and rises to the east ...
