2 unusual facts about White Carniola


White Carniola

The area is confined by the Gorjanci and Kočevski Rog mountain ranges in the north and west and the Kolpa River in the south and east, which also forms part of the border between Slovenia and Croatia.

After the line had become extinct in 1209, the possessions passed to the Carniolan margraves from the Bavarian House of Andechs, Dukes of Merania, and were finally acquired for the House of Habsburg by Archduke Rudolf IV of Austria, who proclaimed himself Duke of Carniola in 1364.
