Traditional regions of Slovenia. Littoral Carniola: 2a Upper, 2b Inner, 2c Lower Carinthia Styria Prekmurje
Carinthia (Slovene: Koroška [kɔˈɾóːʃka] ; German: Kärnten), also Slovene Carinthia or Slovenian Carinthia (Slovenska Koroška), is a traditional region in northern Slovenia. The term refers to the small southeasternmost area of the former Duchy of Carinthia, which after World War I was allocated to the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs according to the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain. It has no distinct centre, but a local centre in each of the three central river valleys among the heavily forested mountains. Towns that make urban centers include Ravne, Prevalje, Mežica and Dravograd.
