The Slovene Prealps or the Slovenian Prealps (Slovene: Slovenske Predalpe, Predalpska Slovenija, slovenski predalpski svet) are a group of mountain ranges in the eastern part of the Alps. They are located in Slovenia and, for a small part of their northernmost area, in Austria.[citation needed]
Geography
SOIUSA classification
According to SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the Slovene Prealps are an Alpine section, classified in the following way:[1]
Subdivision
The Slovene Prealps are divided into three non-contiguous subsections:
- Western Slovene Prealps (Sl: Zahodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.I
- Eastern Slovene Prealps (Sl: Vzhodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.II
- Northeastern Slovene Prealps (Sl: Severovzhodne Slovenske Predalpe) - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.III
Two of these subsections include just one Alpine supergroup, and the third one is further subdivided in two supergroups:[2]
- Western Slovene Prealps:
- supergroup Škofjeloško-Cerkljansko-Polhograjsko-Rovtarsko hribovje - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.I-A
- Eastern Slovene Prealps:
- Northeastern Slovene Prealps:
