Ljubljana Marshes, Protected wetland area south of Ljubljana, Slovenia
The Ljubljana Marshes extend across 163 square kilometers of wetlands, containing numerous water channels, grasslands, and diverse plant communities throughout the landscape.
Archaeological discoveries in the marshes include prehistoric pile dwellings and a wooden wheel dating back to 3200 BCE, making it the oldest wheel found globally.
The marshes house the Church of St. Michael, constructed between 1937 and 1940, incorporating elements from Greek temples and traditional Slovenian architectural designs.
Visitors can access the marshes through the village of Črna Vas, which maintains regular bus connections from Ljubljana's center throughout the day.
The wetlands support half of Slovenia's bird population, providing nesting grounds for over 100 species alongside 89 butterfly varieties and 48 dragonfly types.
