The municipality of Logatec is situated at the intersection of the

Alpine and the Dinaric world, in the heart of the Notranjska region. Its

central town is Logatec which grew up on the location of “Mansio

Longatico” – a stop on the former Roman Road. This is where already in

ancient times the important traffic routes lead from the Ljubljana Basin

(Emona) to Aquilea, later to Trieste and Rijeka.

The municipality,

which covers an area of 173 square kilometres and consists of 19

settlements, numbers 13,271 inhabitants and is located between Ljubljana

and Postojna.

Larger settlements in the area are: the central and

largest settlement Rovte, a nice hilly village with its excellent

location in a natural environment, perfect for relaxing activities;

Hotedršica which is situated at the edge of a dry valley; Laze with

Jakovica, at the edge of the famous Planinsko polje. The area is covered

with rich forests, which influenced the current of life and the

development of the transport and wood processing industries.

Together

with lively crafts and trades (sawmilling, smithery, wheelwrighting,

coopering, barrel-making), farming was very much alive, especially milk

and meat production. Wood and metal processing, cardboard production, as

well as farming and forestry, the trade network, as well as private

business, which is on the rise, represent the economic power of the

municipality.

Even greater strength is expected after the realization of

the ambitiously planned industrial zone. The percentage of unemployment

is one of the lowest in Slovenia.
