Slovenia has a hilly character, and a high percentage of the population participates in mountaineering as an outdoor sport. Mountaineering enthusiasts produced the first mountain maps. It wasn't until 1969, however, that official mountain maps were published under the auspices of the National Mountaineering Association of Slovenia. The official mountain maps were initially in high demand because topographic maps produced by the military were generally unavailable throughout Slovenia – a situation that has completely changed since then. Today, the use of mountain maps is in decline because of competition from other high-quality topographic maps that are more readily available. The future viability of Slovenian mountain mapping as a separate program depends on the implementation of new technology and the development of new products that are relevant to mountaineers
