Ćićarija
Ćićarija , is a mountainous plateau in the northern and north-eastern part of Istria peninsula, 45 km long and 10–15 km wide. It mostly lies in Croatia, while its northern part lies in southwestern Slovenia (the traditional region of Inner Carniola). The highest peak is Veliki Planik at 1,272 m.a.s.l.
At 7 inhabitants per square kilometer (2001), Ćićarija is sparsely populated, due to its karst landscape, poor economic development and rough climate.
