This ÖAMTC Travel Guide manages to mix up Slovenia and Slovakia. Click to enlarge.

I first thought this was a photoshop. In my heart, I still hope it is. I can’t imagine that the Austrian automobile service ÖAMTC (of all organizations) would fall into the infamous Slovenia/Slovakia trap. What makes it even worse, if it’s true, is that:

1) It’s a map, which is to say: it’s a work of geographical reference to help people navigate through a country. And yet the cover has the German word for Slovenia (Slowenien) together with a picture of the Slovenian coast, the flag of Slovakia, and the country outline of Slovakia. Which is it? No one knows.

2) The Republic of Austria, home of the ÖAMTC, borders both Slovenia and Slovakia, so if anyone on God’s good earth is in a position to distinguish between the two, it’s them.

I’d love to know what’s actually inside the guide. Slovenia? Slovakia? Maybe a road map of Slavonia?

(Many thanks, Freddie!)
