Od Ljubotena do Koraba. i. Dr. Jože Pretnar: Planinsko-smučarska odprava v Južno Srbijo. Njen postanek in pomen. V poletju 1933 so me vodila moja planinska romanja preko planin Južne Srbije: čez Perister in Galičico na Korab, pa preko Šar Planine in Čakora na Kotor. Izpolnil se mi je s tem mladostni sen, da si ogledam deželo kraljeviča Marka. Vtisi, ki so jih na- pravili name ti divni planinski kraji s svojimi prirodnimi, zgodo- vinskimi in narodnimi zanimivostmi in lepotami, so mi ostali ne- pozabni; pustili so za seboj hrepenenje, da se še in še vrnem v objem teh gora. Pri pogledu na prostrane planjave in zložno pada- joče gole strmine, od temena najvišjih vrhov do podnožja, so mi, že takrat rodile prepričanje, da imamo ne samo v državi, temveč tudi Planinski Vestnlk, 1J3J, št. 7 177 v evropskih gorovjih malo planin, ki bi nudile tako odlične pogoje za planinsko smučanje. Takrat sem se poslovil od Koraba z obljubo: »Kmalu na svidenje — v zimi!« Ob priliki lanskega kongresa Zveze planinskih društev kralje- vine Jugoslavije, ki se je vršil v Beogradu, je v razgovoru z neka- terimi tovariši padla odločitev, da se v okviru Zveze in pod pokro- viteljstvom ministrstva za telesno vzgojo naroda priredi v zimi ali zgodnji pomladi skupinska planinsko-smučarska tura po grebenih in vrhovih cd Ljubotena preko Šar Planine, Popove Šapke, Aleksan- drovega Visa in Šutmana ob Rudoki in Vraca-Planini na gorsko gmoto Koraba.

  • Sustainable Hydropower
    Sustainable Hydropower Skadar Lake, Montenegro. © Wi in the Dinaric Arc UPDATE L Issue 4 / May 2013 d Wonder 2013 S of e urope Mi L an r adi S ic S / WW f Fresh water This newsletter provides information on the latest developments of the Dinaric Arc Sustainable Hydropower Initiative (DASHI) as well as further news on freshwater and hydropower in the region. DASHI, launched by WWF in 2011, aims to reduce the adverse impacts of hydropower development in the Western Balkans and to promote good practices in the region. The Initiative focuses on the protection of the region’s most precious freshwater ecosystems, in particular Ramsar wetlands such as Livanjsko Polje and Hutovo Blato in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lake Skadar shared by Albania and Montenegro. HYDROPOWER NEWS FROM THE REGION WWF reveals the undiscovered world of Dinarides Through the Dinaric Arc Parks project (www.discoverdinarides.com) WWF urges the region and the world to discover the “undiscovered world of Dinarides.” The largest canyon in the world after the canyon of the Colorado River; the oldest and largest rainforest in Europe; meadows with more orchid species than there are in the whole UK; the largest and longest gorge in Europe ... all this is hiding in the Dinaric Arc region! Inspired by all these amazing facts, the creative agency Leo Burnett in Croatia designed a media campaign to promote the brand “Parks Dinarides” which can be seen from April in numerous newspapers, internet portals and on many TV stations throughout the region. www.discoverdinarides.com Energy Strategy for the “The current energy strategy for the Balkans is not in line with European Western Balkans environmental standards” (Jelko Kacin, EP MP) In February, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament (AFET) held a public debate on the energy strategy of the European Energy Community for the countries of the western Balkans, chaired by MP Jelko Kacin.

  • Bistra, Korab, Desat - National Park Mavrovo .: Macedonia Clasp of the World
    Bistra, Korab, Desat - National Park Mavrovo .: macedonia clasp of the world :. LAND: BISTRA, KORAB & DEŠAT MOUNTAIN - MAVROVO NATIONAL PARK The National Park Bistra Mountain Korab Mountain Dešat Mountain The National Park Mavrovo encompasses the most beautiful parts of western Macedonia, the mountains Bistra, Korab, South Šar Massifs, Dešat, the river Radika, Mavrovo Lake and the villages Mavrovi Anovi, Mavrovo, Leunovo, Nikiforovo, Gali•nik, Rostuše, Gari, Jan•e, Treson•e, Bituše and Lazaropole, with total area of 73,088 hectares. In order to preserve the natural wealth of the region, it has been designated as a National Park with the Law passed on March 3rd 1952, on account of "the historical and scientific significance of the forests and wooded areas around Mavrovsko plain, the specific landscape and the natural beauty of the region, the diverse flora and fauna and ethnological characteristics". In this area nature has created numerous beauties of different character. The relief, the climatic conditions, the hydrological and vegetative features, enhanced by human creativity, all contribute to making this region a particularly special place where the gifts of the nature and the resourcefulness of humans can be admired. The National Park Mavrovo encompasses numerous rivers, which present a real jewel in the crown of beauty for the mountain landscape, with their wild rapids, water-falls and incredible transparency: always full with clear and cold water, the springs never get muddy. One of the most impressive parts of the park are the striking gorges of the river Radika. The most dramatic is the Baric gorge. The horizon in front of the observer completely closes leaving open only the blue sky and the steep ascending rocks, in some places 1,500 m high.

  • Real-Time Flood Forecasting and Warning System Sava River Basin
    Development of Real-Time Flood Forecasting and Warning System for the Sava River Basin Klaas-Jan van Heeringen1, Hanneke Schuurmans2, Mihailo Anđelić3, Victor Simončić4, Imra Hodzic5, Sabina Hadziahmetovic5 ABSTRACT: Disastrous floods in May 2014 in Sava River basin resulted in 79 casualties and substantial economic damage in Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Serbia. Assessments of the total damage in the area range up to 3.8 billion Euros. Distressing is the fact that besides flooding the Balkan region recently suffered from severe droughts as well. In order to be more resilient to flood and drought events, data and model output sharing is key. Better information will lead to better decisions. The Flood Forecasting and Warning System (Sava-FFWS) in which five countries jointly work together is at the forefront of transboundary cooperation. The FFWS, which is based on the well-known Delft-FEWS software, lends ample data and information enabling ultimately the decision makers to make right management decisions and implement operational measures to prevent and mitigate severe flood and drought situations on the basis of reliable forecasts of flows and discharges with a long lead time. The paper outlines key components of the Sava-FFWS illustrated with concrete application examples. Key words: real-time flood forecasting, Delft-FEWS, Sava river basin, Sava HIS, hydrological models, hydraulic models, numerical weather prediction, water levels, discharges, precipitation, temperature, snow, GIS data, dissemination Razvoj sistema za prognozu i upozorenje na velike vode u realnom vremenu za sliv reke Save APSTRAKT: Katastrofalne majske poplave iz 2014. godine u slivu reke Save pogodile su delove Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske i Srbije i ostavile iza sebe pustoš: 79 osoba je izgubilo život a ogromna materijalna šteta je procenjena na preko 3.8 milijardi evra.
