Zone counts are measured from the point above, which is Maribor's centre as recorded by GeoNames; a zone counts if any part of it falls within 8 km of it. That radius scales with population and is not Maribor's administrative boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears - which is what matters when you are deciding where to take off. Population 96,209 (GeoNames, record updated 2026-04-14). City data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0. Zone data is the official Slovenia dataset, unmodified except for normalisation to ED-269.
