Prekmurje, Historical region in northeastern Slovenia.
Prekmurje is a historical region in northeastern Slovenia that extends across flat plains beyond the Mura River. The area is characterized by farmland, thermal springs, and numerous small settlements scattered throughout.
After World War I, the territory transitioned from Hungarian administration to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. This change marked a fundamental shift in the region's political affiliation and governance.
The local population speaks a distinct Slovenian dialect that sets them apart from other regions. Hungarian language influences can be found in several border communities.
The region is best explored from the main city of Murska Sobota, where accommodation options are available. From there, visitors can reach various local attractions throughout the area.
The area comprises nineteen municipalities with distinct traditions and is known for its fertile soils of the Pannonian Plain. Farmers have cultivated corn and wheat there for generations.
