Upper Carniola, Historical region in northwestern Slovenia

The mountainous territory extends across the Julian Alps and Karawanks ranges, encompassing cities like Kranj, Kamnik, and Jesenice within its boundaries.

The region emerged as a distinct administrative district in the 17th century under Habsburg rule, forming one of three main divisions of the Duchy of Carniola.

The Upper Carniolan dialect significantly influenced the development of standard Slovene language during the 18th century literary movements.

The region contains approximately 300,000 inhabitants across multiple urban centers, representing 14 percent of Slovenia's total population.

The traditional folk costumes from this region were selected to represent the national dress of Slovenia during the 19th century identity formation.
