Geologisch befindet sich das Bacher Gebirge am südwestlichen Rand des steirischen Beckens und nahe einer tektonisch sehr aktiven Zone der Europäischen Alpen: das Periadri- atische Lineament. Etwa 10 km nordwestlich des Bacher Gebirges verlässt die Drau das Miozän-Pliozäne Klagenfurter Becken und verändert ihre Fliessrichtung von Ost nach Süd, der Lavanttal/Labot-Störung folgend. Am Nordwesteck der Antiform des Bacher Gebirges wird die Drau wieder in eine Ost-Richtung abgelenkt, anstatt dem tektonischen und geomorphologischen Lineament der Lavanttal-Störung weiter nach SE zu folgen. Ab diesem Knick fliesst die Drau parallel zur Längsachse durch den Dom nach Osten. Ge- omorphologische und sedimentologische Hinweise zeigen, dass das Flusstales der Drau im zentralen Bereich des Gebirges um 1 km nach Norden an seine heutige Position verlagert worden ist.

  • Book of Abstracts
    2017 3rd Regional Symposium on Landslides in the Adriatic-Balkan Region, Ljubljana Symposium programme Book of Abstracts 2017 3rd Regional Symposium on Landslides in the Adriatic-Balkan Region, Ljubljana 11 - 13 October 2017 Ljubljana, Slovenia Symposium sponzors Acknowledgments The Organizing committee is deeply appreciative of the sponsorships generously provided by the following companies: Dear participants of the 3rd ReSyLAB 2017, Regional Symposiums on Landslides in the Adriatic-Balkan Region are important meetings of engineers, professionals and researchers in the region. The aim of reducing the risk of landslides is extremely important, and remains a both a decisive directive and challenge in the future. The 3rd ReSyLAB will take place this time in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. You will be visiting a Central European country where landslides threaten more than one-third of the Slovenian territory, which means some 20 percent of the population is vulnerable. Following the ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships 2015–2025 for the Global Promotion of Understanding and Reducing Landslide Disaster Risk and the 2017 Ljubljana Declaration on Landslide Risk Reduc- tion, the symposium will explore possible ways of enhancing cooperation between the landslide science community and the diverse range of stakeholders both in the Adriatic-Balkan Region and around the world. Over the next few days we hope you will enjoy the numerous opportunities for social and profes- sional interaction with new experts and familiar colleagues and friends. Please take this sympo- sium as an opportunity to visit the photo exhibition of selected images from the WLF4 Landslide Photo Contest and take advantage of our technical program.

Slovenia is a story of love, a love of being active in nature, which is almost second nature to Slovenians.

Thenew guidebook will show you the most beauti- ful hiking trails around Slovenia and tips on how to prepare for hiking, what to experience and taste, where to spend the night, and how to treat yourself after a long day of hiking. Save the dates of the biggest hiking celebrations in Slovenia – the Slovenia Hiking Festivals. Indeed, Slovenians walk always and everywhere. We are proud to celebrate 120 years of the Alpine Associati- on of Slovenia, the biggest volunteer organisation in Slovenia, responsible for maintaining mountain trails. Themountaineering culture and excitement about the beauty of Slovenia’s nature connects all generations, all Slovenian tourist farms and wine cellars. Experience this joy and connection between people in motion. This is the beginning of themighty Alpine mountain chain, where the mysterious Dinaric Alps reach their heights, and where karst caves dominate the subterranean world. There arerolling, wine-pro- ducing hills wherever you look, the Pannonian Plain spreads out like a carpet, and one can always sense the aroma of the salty Adriatic Sea.

Minerals and their chemical composition were identified in order to verify the variability of mineral assemblages in marbles from different localities in Slovenia. The analysis showed that marbles from Košenjak are the most mineralogically diverse, followed by Pohorje and finally Strojna marbles. Common rock-forming minerals calcite and dolomite are more abundant in Pohorje marbles where calcite contains higher levels of magnesium but no strontium and iron as compared with Strojna and Košenjak marbles. Accessory minerals like quartz, mica, titanite, apatite, rutile, zircon, chlorite group minerals, kaolinite and iron oxides/hydroxides were found in marbles from all localities.

  • GREEN ADVENTURES Green Stories Guide/ 9 Slovenia Green Destinations
    GREEN GREEN ADVENTURES Green Stories Guide/ 9 Slovenia Green destinations www.slovenia.info #ifeelsLOVEnia THE GREEN STORY OF SLOVENIA Slovenia is a country with green stories. It is surrounded by greenery wherever you look – towards the Alpine peaks, the green forests, the Adriatic Sea, the mysterious Karst, the vineyards, or Pannonian Plain. All of these different landscapes are connected through the bond of green love. This is Slovenia’s love for nature and the care it takes to conserve it, the love for green towns and the pride that it takes in its culture. In Slovenia we breathe fresh air and enjoy therapeutic water. In some places, the forests have remained untouched for thousands of years. More than a third of Guide through Slovenia is protected by the conservation program Natura 2000. green adventures We have green hearts.

  • Tectonic Interpretation of the Metamorphic Field

Rocks from three different regions are considered: (i) the rocks of the southernmost Koralpe to the north, (ii) the rocks of the Plankogel Unit between the Plankogel detachment and the Drava valley and (iii) the rocks between the Possruck range and the southern Pohorje mountains. In the Koralpe, pelitic rocks record a formation pressure around 15 – 18 kbar, as reported in the literature. For the Plankogel Unit, we derive pres- sures between 7.1 ± 1.95 kbar and 11.5 ± 3.42 kbar at 650 °C and recognize only a single Eoalpine metamorphic event.
