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]
- main part = Eastern Alps
- major sector = Southern Limestone Alps
- section = Slovene Prealps
- code = II/C-36
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:
- supergroup Posavsko hribovje - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.II-A
- Northeastern Slovene Prealps:
- supergroup Strojno s Pohorjem hribovje - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.III-A
- supergroup Vitanjsko-Konjiško hribovje - SOIUSA code:II/C-36.III-B
