Flag of Slovenia

🎨 What the flag means

Slovenia's flag has three stripes: white, blue and red, colours that come from the old coat of arms of Carniola. The coat of arms shows Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, in white. Two wavy blue lines below stand for the sea and rivers. Three golden stars above come from the Counts of Celje, an important family from long ago.
