Central Slovenia encompasses the Ljubljana valley with Sava river and its tributaries Ljubljanica, Sora, Kamniška bistrica and others, and the surrounding hills. The northern part, with cities of Kranj, Škofja Loka and Kamnik formally belongs to Gorenjska, while its southern tip is considered a part of Dolenjska.
The region is economically prosperous due to Ljubljana, the political and economical center of the state, and the industrially strong Kranj with headquarters of several internationally successful companies like Sava, Iskra and Merkur.
The terrain is mostly flat, allowing for its rural use. With farming traditionally dependent on cows, pigs and poultry, the prevalent cultures are corn, potatoes and grasslands.
