Slovenia – 5 Nights the Karst - Culture and Landscape Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] Slovenia – 5 nights The Karst - culture and landscape https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/slovenia/slovenia-5-nights/ Route Summary At a glance 5 nights (4 days walking) - missing Vipava. Add extra nights in Ljubljana or Trieste, and in Tomaj for extra walking, Lipizzaner horses and cave visit. How much walking? Full days: 11-16km per day, 3¾ - 5hrs walking Using shortening options: 11-16km per day, 3½-5 hrs (using lifts) (two days shortened) Max. Grade: page 1/9 The “Kras”, or Karst, in the west of this tiny country, is an area of woodlands, meadows and unspoilt villages with an ever-present backdrop of mountains. Its extraordinary geological phenomena include vast cave systems and rivers that vanish into cliffs and, en route to your first day’s walk, a disappearing lake. The rock is mother also to some fine vineyards producing the unique Teran wine, a ferocious red to be drunk as accompaniment to the local prosciutto (“Prsut”). After a first night in the pretty Slovenian capital Ljubljana, you stay in farms that produce their own wine, hams and honey, and grow all manner of fruit. You end your holiday in the lively Italian seaport of Trieste and, with extra nights, can visit the original Lipizzaner stud (small supplement) or part of the extraordinary Skocjan cave system, both on foot or by mountain bike (this way you can potentially see both!). Route Highlights ● Green Europe at its most beguiling ● Stay on working farms and eat delicious produce ● Prsut (prosciutto) and Teran wine ● Supper at Cejkotova Domacija (subject to availability – see below) ● The hilltop settlements of Stanjel and Tabor ● Predjama Castle ● The disappearing lake and rivers ● Optional visits to the Skocjan Caves or the Lipizzaner horses ● Trieste and Ljubljana and the Hapsburg legacy We Recommend Extra nights in Tomaj for walk to the Skocan caves or Lippizaner stud, or hire mountain bikes to see either or both, or just to have a relaxing day exploring other parts of the region (include lunch at pretty Pliskovica). Good bikes and maps provided, and Sasha, our local bike provider, would be happy to take you on a guided ride too (supplement) to take in some good places to eat...! When you're Stanjel, if you're a group of 4 or more staying Fri/Sat/Sun, don't miss the chance of a meal at Cejkotova Domacija, a legendary restaurant with all home produce - we can arrange this for you. VENICE: This route can be efficiently combined with a trip to Venice at the start (see "How to get there"). Grading Full days: 11-16km per day, 3¾ - 5hrs walking Using shortening options: 11-16km per day, 3½-5 hrs (using lifts) (two days shortened) page 2/9 Well-marked paths, no steep sections. Highest point on route: 750m. Easy-medium: Average cumulative uphill stretches (CUSs) 431m (225m-670m) per day. GPX file available for handheld GPS or smartphone App for complete route (except Tomaj optional walks). Important note: Times given for each day are walking times for an “average” walker and exclude stops. “CUSs” stands for “Cumulative Uphill Stretches” and measures the aggregated ascents in each day, expressed in metres of climb. See “Walk Grading” for more information. When to go The best months to walk: April, May, June, September, October Other possible months: July, August Late spring, with its profusion of wild flowers and butterflies, is an ideal time to walk through this gentle Slovenian countryside. July and August can be quite warm, but as September arrives, so the countryside is bathed in autumnal light and whilst the days become shorter, walkers can enjoy the fruits (and drink) of the Slovenian harvest in the evenings. Please note: date ranges shown are for a 'normal' year. While Covid-19 restrictions remain, please contact us to discuss your plans and availability.

  • City of Punta Gorda
    Burnt Store Isles Perimeter Channel Dredge Project The City of Punta Gorda contractor, Brance Diversified, has begun the maintenance dredging of the perimeter channel in the Burnt Store Isles subdivision (work will occur seven days a week as weather and equipment operation permit). The dredge is adjacent to Palermo Drive and will progress north along the perimeter channel to the completion point at Terin Court.

The spoil will be discharged directly into the canal system as required by the State/Federal permits. The first spoil location will be the southernmost basin between Monaco Drive and Palermo Drive which will be blocked by turbidity screens. Homeowners in this basin will need to contact Joost Derijk (952-999-3122), Chris Hays (727-580-2481), or Seth Mayhall (337-793- 6740) to schedule their exit and reentry from the work area.

  • The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia Regions
    DEPAUW SUMMER 2015 Explore Italy REGIONS AND CITIES OF NORTHEASTERN ITALY The Authentic Italy Northeastern Italy is composed of two regions, Veneto and Friuli Venezia-Giulia. At the geographical heart of Europe, the area has played host to many different peoples and cultures, including the Celts, Romans, Huns, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks, Venetians, French, and Hapsburgs, before becoming regions of Italy. The result is an area rich in diverse architecture and art, and one with world-class cuisine and wine. The two regions are home to no less than eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The New York Times recently called Friuli “Italy’s Secret Garden,” and the region has only lately been discovered by non- The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Europeans. Giulia Regions “Friuli is the great undiscovered region of Italy: It has beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, stunning undiscovered alps in Carnia, idyllic scenery in the winegrowing district known as Collio, vibrant and handsome cities such as Udine and mysterious Trieste, historical centers such as Aquileia and Cividale del Friuli, wonderful food and wine, great coffee, good cultural facilities, and above all some of the warmest, most welcoming people you will ever meet.” Slovenia & Croatia A town of ancient origins on the coast of the Istrian peninsula, 25 km from Italy, Piran was voluntarily absorbed into the Venetian empire in 1283 when Croatian pirates were continually threatening the Dalmatian coast. Many Venetian artists visited and worked in Piran, including the famed Piranese violinist Giuseppe Tartini (born in Piran) and the Venetian master painter Tintoretto, one of whose paintings can be seen in the local museum.
