Due to its geographical position at the crossroads of the Germanic, Mediterranean, and South Slavic worlds, Ljubljana has always been at the confluence of differ- ent cultures. Throughout its history, it has been home to sensitive individuals able to assimilate different in- fluences and create works of art reflecting their time. Apart from that, it was poets and writers that have, in the eyes of the nation, historically replaced the politi- cal elite.

It is therefore no wonder that Ljubljana's central , where you will embark on this circular walk, is dominated by a monument to a poet, France Prešeren. Your walk will take you on a journey from the 16th cen- tury, when Primož Trubar published the first book ever written in Slovenian, to the end of the 20th century and the death of the writer Lojze Kovačič.

You will be able to see both the existing buildings that were once home to Slovenian authors and the sites of those long gone. You can choose between two routes, Duration 2 hours Blue and Orange.
