Ever wondered where the geometric centre of Slovenia was? Wonder no more. In a hamlet called Spodnja Slivna just a short distance outside of the village of Vače is a small collection of monuments marking the centre of this beautiful country. An obelisk with its co-ordinates takes centre stage, with an X underneath marking the very central spot. Scattered around are various other monuments, such as a cenotaph dedicated to patriots from the Slovenian War of Independence and a monument created by various members of the Slovene diaspora using different materials. A linden tree (the national tree) and various flags top it all off. The site is some 600m above sea level, and the hiking trail that accompanies it comes with some truly memorable views.
