About 11% of the territory of Slovenia is protected under various protective regimes. Protection of areas of exceptional value has been known for centuries and has remained the most commonly used measure in nature conservation practice to date. Owing to their traditional role in the system of integral nature protection, parks are becoming increasingly important for the conservation of biotic and landscape diversity. In 1924, when National park was established in the Triglav Lakes Valley, Slovenia became the fifth country in Europe to have a national park. At present, there are 44 parks in Slovenia: one national park, three regional parks and 40 landscape parks.

From urban geodiversity to geoheritage: the case of Ljubljana (Slovenia). Quaestiones Geographicae 36(3), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 37–50. 7 figs, 1 table. aBsTracT: The city of Ljubljana lies at the intersection of various geomorphological regions that have strongly influ- enced its spatial organization. Prehistoric settlements were built on marshland, a Roman town was built on the first river terrace of the Ljubljanica River, and in the Middle Ages a town was built in a strategic position between the Lju- bljanica River and Castle Hill. The modern city absorbed all usable space between the nearby hills. This paper reviews some relief features in Ljubljana, their influence on the city’s spatial development, and urban geoheritage. The results indicate new possibilities for urban geoheritage tourism in the Slovenian capital and its surroundings.

Fotografi ja: France Stele ACTA TRIGLAVENSIA ZNANSTVENO IZOBRAŽEVALNI CˇASOPIS LETO VI DECEMBER 2018 6 2 3 6 ACTA TRIGLAVENSIA Uvodnik ARHEOLOGIJA VISOKO V GORAH Osrednja tema nove številke znanstveno izobraževalnega časopisa Acta triglavensia je arheologija, ki predstavlja dokaj skrit, vendar pomemben del kulturne in zgodovinske dediščine Triglavskega narodnega parka. Avtor Janez Bizjak, ki je sam ali s prijatelji odkril veliko večino arheoloških najdišč v visokogorju, orje ledino novega področja raziskav. Čeprav arheološke najdbe kažejo navzočnost ljudi v visokogorju že od davnine, ostajajo nerešena številna temeljna vprašanja: kdo so bili ti ljudje, kje so se zadrževali in v katerem času, kako so bivali in, najpomembnejše, kaj jih je vodilo v gore. Naučili smo se poiskati točke, kjer so stala preprosta bivališča, ali pa so si popotniki zgolj poiskali zavetje. Po značilnih predmetih in analizah radioaktivnega oglja lahko določimo, iz katerega časa so osta nki. Mnogo teže pa je ugotoviti, kaj so ljudje počeli v gorah. Losovo okostje s Soriške planine iz tretjega do petega stoletja, ki ga je poškodovalo železno orožje, je sled lova. Dragoceni predmeti, skriti pod kamni, morda pričajo o zaobljubnih darovih silam narave. Začetke planšarskega gospodarstva je mogoče ugotavljati na podlagi kemičnih sledi mlečnih maščob na odlomkih lončenine. Sprašujemo se, kako razbrati sledi prvih rudarjev. Višine in strmine torej niso bile nikoli nepremagljive ovire, pa čeprav so jih prestopali zgolj izkušeni posamezniki ali manjše skupine.

  • The British, Kugy, and Western Slovenia
    182 The British, Kugy, and Western Slovenia Ksenija Rozman Plates 69-72 The Julian Alps, the Sava valley, the surroundings of the lakes at Bled and Bohin;, Lake Cerknica, the city of Ljubljana and the Postojna caves are areas which the British have been visiting for centuries-fust as scientists, later also as travellers and mountaineers, and today mainly as tourists. All these areas are readily accessible by organized motor co'ach tours which start from Bled, Bohinj and Kran;ska gora. This territory, once part of the multi-national Austrian empire, now is the western part of the republic of Slovenia, one of the six constituent republics of Yugoslavia. The highest mountain in Yugoslavia, Triglav (2863m), lies in Slovenia. Dr Julius Kugy once asked France Avein, the Slovenian moun­ taineer, climber and professor of electrical engineering, what part of the Julian Alps he liked the best. Avein decided on the western Julian Alps, but Kugy demurred; 'That's all right, my dear Avein, it's beautiful! But the eastern part has the Triglav. The Triglav is not a mountain, the Triglav is a realm.'l Forests, mountains, mountain flora, meadows, rivers and lakes are all naturally constituent parts of the globe-but so many prominent Britons have wri~ten so much in praise of Slovenia and its people that even the best educated European could hardly fail to take heed and to be flattered. Sir Humphry Davy, and after him Josiah Gilbert and GC Churchill thought that the valley of the Sava river was the most beautiful valley in Europe.

    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Urša Tekavec Cerkniško jezero skozi čas Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2010 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Urša Tekavec Mentor: doc. dr. Pavel Gantar Cerkniško jezero skozi čas Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2010 ZAHVALA Najlepša hvala mami in očetu, ki sta mi omogočila študij in mi ves čas stala ob strani. Mitja in Svit, hvala vama za vzpodbudo, podporo in potrpežljivost. Iskrena zahvala gre tudi mentorju doc. dr. Pavlu Gantarju za strokovne nasvete in usmeritve. Zahvaljujem se vsem, ki ste mi pomagali in me podpirali, tako v času študija kot pri nastajanju diplomske naloge. Cerkniško jezero skozi čas Presihajoče Cerkniško jezero nedvomno sodi med zelo zanimive kraške pojave, saj že od nekdaj vzbuja pozornost številnih obiskovalcev in raziskovalcev. Ker brez vpliva ljudi ni ne ogrožanja, ne varovanja narave, je v nalogi osrednja pozornost namenjena sociologiji, in sicer odnosu družbe do te znamenitosti, ki se je skozi zgodovinska časovna obdobja spreminjal. Pri obravnavi človekovega odnosa do narave ločimo tri osnovne faze: pred- moderno, moderno in post- moderno. Danes je precej aktualno vprašanje o podobah in zaznavah narave značilnih za klasično moderno. Na območju Cerkniškega jezera je bilo skozi zgodovino narejenih veliko vodnogospodarskih posegov v naravo, saj so ljudje želeli čimbolj obvladati naravo. Prelomnico v odnosu do te znamenitosti sprva predstavljajo ideje in zahteve ljudi, ki se nanašajo na varovanje narave in zavarovanje tega naravnega območja. Leta 2002 je bil na območju Cerkniškega jezera in njegove okolice ustanovljen Notranjski regijski park. Ključne besede: Cerkniško jezero, vodnogospodarski posegi, varovanje narave, Notranjski regijski park. Lake Cerknica through time The intermittent Lake Cerknica is undoubtedly one of the most interesting karst phenomena that has always attracted the interest of many visitors and researchers.

At the same time, a growing appreciation of regional issues has raised interest in regional differences in each of these countries. This volume of the “Portrait of the Regions” series responds to this need and follows on in a tradition which has seen four volumes devoted to the current Member States, a fifth to Hungary, a sixth volume dedicated to the Czech Republic and Poland, a seventh to the Slovak Republic and the most recent volume covering the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Examining the 12 statistical regions of Slovenia, this ninth volume in the series has an almost identical structure to Volume 8, itself very similar to earlier publications.

    1 NATURE PARKS PARKS NATURE IN SLOVENIA www.slovenia.info 2 Slovenia is one of Europe’s most diverse states for fl ora and fauna with one of the continent’s best preserved natural environments. Having vast areas of pris- tine countryside constitutes a major advantage for Slov- enian tourism, allowing its development potential to be heavily oriented towards visitor’s desires for peaceful relaxation at close proxim- ity to the natural world. Where natural beauty takes your breath away... For a relatively small area, Slovenia off ers a unique mosaic of biological, geographical and cultural diversity, with dozens of major natural assets and items of signifi cant European cultural heritage. Around 12,6% of Slovenia’s territory is cover by protected natural areas, 36% of the territory is protected under Natura 2000, and almost 15,000 aspects of the country’s nature have been awarded the status “valuable natural feature”. By managing our country’s resources carefully we ensure that nature’s treasures are preserved for future generations, that local population development is planned responsibly, and that all economic development is sustainable. 3 Lake in Velika dolina - Škocjan Caves 02_ Introduction 14_ NOTRANJSKA Regional Park 26_ STRUNJAN Landscape Park 04_ Map NATURE PARKS IN 16_ GORIČKO Landscape Park 28_ LAHINJA Landscape Park SLOVENIA 18_ KOLPA Landscape Park 30_ ŠKOCJANSKI ZATOK Nature 06_ Nature parks in Slovenia Reserve 20_ SEČOVLJE SALINA Landscape 07_ TRIGLAV National Park Park 32_ RADENSKO POLJE Landscape Park* 10_ ŠKOCJAN CAVES Park
