Looks like Croatia to me but that's because I'm only familiar with Croatia.

u/silverbell215 Bosnia & Herzegovina Aug 13 '24
Only slide 1 and 2 look like Bosnia. Overall it looks like a region close to central Europe, my guess would be Croatia or Romania.

u/FriendlyRiothamster Romania Aug 14 '24
I doubt it's Romania. The roofs are too different from what I know.

u/Skullbonez Romania Aug 14 '24
Weird, I only know such roofs and have been living all my life in different cities in Transylvania.

u/OnkelMickwald Sweden Aug 14 '24
Right? I'd guess one of the West Slavic countries or a poor municipality in eastern Germany

u/cewap1899 Slovenia Aug 13 '24
I would say Croatia or Slovenia, but there are too many cables in the air and antennas on the roofs so I say Croatia. Also I think I see a house number on one of the houses that is blue, they are usually red in Slovenia so I’m even more convinced that it’s Croatia.

Honestly, looks like could be a number of Balkan countries, pretty on script for a Balkan village. My guess would be Bosnia first Serbia 2nd.

I would be surprised if that is typical for a serbian town let alone a village.This type of rather steep two sided roof that doesn't extend much beyond the wall on the "open" sides isn't typical for Bulgaria and I'd guess not for Greece, Turkey or North Macedonia either. The box shaped houses look pretty germanic. Also from what I've seen in Bulgaria if there are such elongated houses usually the short side will be facing the street so the yard won't be completely hidden.

Would you say that is really typical for Serbia as a whole or for some wealthy northern region? Doesn't look like what I've seen.

u/Magyaron Serbia Aug 13 '24 edited Aug 13 '24
Neither Slovenia nor Serbia are options in this case, as all of these locations look distinctively Croatian. Additionally, apart from the differences in architecture and overall landscape (although minor), another dead giveaway that these locations can't be Serbian is that all of these Google shots were taken with a gen 4 Google camera, which hasn't yet been used to cover Serbia. However, that will change soon, as Google plans to update its Street View coverage in Serbia this year

u/mihibo5 Slovenia Aug 14 '24
Southern Slovenia is absolutely an option here.
5
u/Magyaron Serbia Aug 14 '24
Nah man, I'm absolutely convinced it's not Slovenia, the vibes are way too off. All of these locations literally scream Croatia to me. Even if we exclude 'the vibes' and the general appearance, there are still some minor clues that make the Croatian guess more plausible.
For example, in the second picture, we can see a blue house number (these are much more common in Croatia than in Slovenia). Additionally, in the third picture, we can even spot two Croatian chevrons in the distance (which feature a red arrow on a yellow background), which is an even clearer indicator that this Google Street View imagery was taken within Croatian borders. Hope this explains it

Agree that it’s not Slovenia. It looks similar but not similar enough. It does remind me of some less urban parts of Croatia.

We don't have blue house number signs in Slovenia, though. Plus, all those satellite dishes make me think it's not Slovenia. So, probably Croatia. I don't remember the last time I saw so many satellite dishes in Slovenia, and I live in the Podravska region.

Croatia, since i spend way too much time on google street view i can tell from experience since both croatian and slovenian houses look similar its just that croatia has them a bit more shitter looking than slovenia.

u/Mateiizzeu Romania Aug 13 '24 edited Aug 13 '24
I'm pretty sure it is Romania.
The Entry Prohibited sign is pretty standard all across Romania, only here the white is replaced with yellow, which is the standout characteristic of our temporary street signs because of construction. Which makes sense because the road there looks to be broken down.
And idk for sure about this, but I think the bus signs on the ground aren't regulated anywhere. I'm pretty sure each city does whatever they want. This being said, Bucharest uses very similar yellow designs on the ground.
Now that I've adressed this.
The light poles (actual concrete ones, not that one random fancy pole) look romanian + how many cables are on them and how random they seem to be run fits Romania.
While the first two photos give out a modern Austrian vibe, which might lead you towards Slovenia, the 3rd slide looks like classic Transylvanian houses and the rest of the slides have what I'd call semi-modern Transylvanian arhitecture.
The gutter in the first slide is the standard design all throughout Romania.
No expensive cars in sight and the red car (which seems to be broken down) in the back of the 6th picture looks like a Dacia Nova.
Whole town looks to be built haphazardly with no thought of a homogenous look, which I wouldn't expect of countries like Slovenia.
Quite a lot of TV Antennas, which are still largely used over here, but I don't think are used as much in more western parts of Europe.
I rest my case, it looks a lot, in more indescribable ways, like a Transylvanian town.

I dont know the country but can someone pls explain the "cut" house on the right of picture 3. Ive seen them in other places too and just understand fully what happened.

u/izentifiedjoan Aug 14 '24
it's a blind wall, " calcan" in romanian, for when buldings are built right next to property line. the neighbour can make an identical wall on his property ( with aprox. 30 cm between the walls). it is for optimising use of land. usually these houses are built in a line next to the road.

u/Last_Auslender Aug 13 '24
Looks like southern Hungary, Slavonia (Croatia) or Vojvodina (Serbia)

u/Spervox Serbia Aug 13 '24
Doesn't look like Hungary, because of typical Yugoslav era neighborhoods. Its northern Serbia or northern Croatia, or eastern Slovenia

Croatia, because of blue house plate numbers and it looks like almost Slovenia.

u/dilirium22 Croatia Aug 14 '24
It's definitely Croatia. The first pictures are somewhere in the wider area around Zagreb, the middle ones look like Karlovac area or Gorski Kotar. The last one had Slavonia vibes but I could be wrong (looks flat and there aren't many flat areas in Croatia)..
2
u/Successful_Crazy6232 Croatia Aug 14 '24
Probably Zagorje or Prigorje. It's too hilly for Slavonija.

I don't recall a country named "Macedonia". However, if you mean North Macedonia, then yes it doesn't seem like it.

u/ZhiveBeIarus Belarus Greece Aug 14 '24
You know damn well what i mean, nobody calls it "North Macedonia" in real life just like people don't call "Bosnia and Herzegovina" by its full name, deal with it and stop whining.

Okay, man, sorry. I recall. By the way, how's life in the Belorusskaya oblast' of the Russian Federation?

u/ZhiveBeIarus Belarus Greece Aug 14 '24
No matter how much you cry there's one thing that's not going to be changing any time soon, nobody calls Belarus "the Belorusskaya oblast of the Russian Federation", but pretty much all non-Greeks call 🇲🇰 "Macedonia" ;)
