HIGHLIGHTS of SLOVENIA Walking from Two Centres in the Julian Alps TOUR CODE: 29000 G R A D E : D + A N D C 2 LEADER 2 GRADES JULY - AUGUST 2016 Jun 17 - Jul 01 Jul 01 - Jul 15 Jul 15 - Jul 29 Aug 05 - Aug 19 Two Week Duration HIGHLIGHTS OF SLOVENIA Walking from two centres in the Julian Alps © Ramblers Worldwide Holidays 2015 HOLI DAY INFORMATION TOUR DESCRIPTION This information is in addition to our General Information Booklet, which is enclosed. Slovenia, situated in the heart of Europe and bordered by Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia, has much to offer walkers and nature lovers. Having declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 and after some difficult years during the 1990s, the country has bounced back to become a popular tourist destination. Despite this new found status, the country remains unchanged and unaffected by the huge crowds of tourists such as those that descend on the French and Austrian Alps. The region we will explore is that of the Julian Alps, a beautiful alpine area with stunning scenery and populated by friendly locals. At the Eastern end of the range, the Alps spill over into northern Slovenia and here, in the Julian Alps, some first class hiking can be enjoyed. This new holiday allows every opportunity to see the best that this area has to offer. Our two centres for this holiday are located in the north west, not very far from mountain passes that lead into Italy and Austria. Our first centre is Bohinj, a delightful mountain village in an enviable location; next to the picturesque Lake Bohinj and overlooked by Triglav (2864m), the highest mountain in Slovenia. Our time here will be spent walking in the landscapes around this peak amongst beautiful foothills, deep valleys and gorges, waterfalls and lakes. Our second centre is Kranjska Gora, beautifully situated in the Sava Dolinka Valley. A popular ski resort in winter, this mountain village is ideally placed for all levels of walking and has some fantastic higher level walking in the summer months. There are alpine forests, open meadows and lush green valleys, most of which are accessible by well maintained and signed paths – some even lead to mountain huts. We can take the occasional lunch at a hut and sit back to enjoy the views. © Ramblers Worldwide Holidays 2015 ITINERARY Day: Overnight Daily itinerary: Meals: accommodation: 1: Bohinj Travel to Slovenia and transfer by road to Bohinj.

However safety considerations do govern the sizes of groups in each walking grade; the minimum number of participants for a guided walk at a given grade and the maximum group size will be as indicated in our brochures. On most departures we are able to accommodate most clients’ first choice of walk most of the time, however some flexibility and co-operation may be required. In unusual circumstances where a disproportionately high number of clients wish to walk at one grade, for safety reasons, we may not be able to provide you with your choice of walk each day. Although we will endeavour to accommodate as many clients’ choices as possible, it may be necessary for you to switch between higher and lower grade walks during the holiday. Any decision regarding group sizes and the participants in the day’s walking programme rests with our tour leader(s). HOLIDAY GRADE & WALKING PROGRAMME This holiday is graded D+ & C. A good head for heights is essential for walking in this area. This is mountainous country with some classic mountain tracks. Each evening, the leader will discuss the programme for the following day with you. Should you not wish to join the party, please let the leader know. © Ramblers Worldwide Holidays 2015 Please note: There will be some free time – details will be confirmed locally by your tour leader. An example of some of the walks we may include in our programme (dependant on weather conditions and the ability of the group) are as follows: Bohinj D+ grade walks ~ Cliffs of Krma. A great walk with very impressive views and interesting rock formations. The first part of the walk is fairly strenuous (steep climb to Zlata Voda) but most of the rest is on good easy paths (except a short very steep scree slope) to the top of Mrežce. Ascent/Descent 600m; 7 miles; 4 hours ~ Rudnica Circuit “Valleys and Villages”. A pleasant and easy walk through rural scenery with good views all the way between Brod and Stara Fužina Ascent/Descent 200m; 10.5 miles; 6 hours Bohinj C grade walks ~ Visevnik & Cliffs of Krma. A high level mountain walk through spectacular scenery including the Triglav group. Generally above the forest the going is fairly rough and rocky with some easy scrambling and moderate exposure in places. Views are stunning! There are two opportunities to take short cuts. Ascent/Descent 900m; 7 miles; 5.5 hours ~ Vogel. A short but tough walk which may take some clients by surprise (exposed passage, scree slope). Stunning views but needs clear weather (no point in doing if low cloud base). Ascent/Descent 950m; 6 miles; 6 ¾ hours Kranjska Gora D+ grade walks ~ Srednji Vrh and Martuljuk Falls. A great walk with wonderful panoramic views of the Spik massif across the valley. There is the option to extend the Martuljuk falls and the idyllic meadows at Brunarica pri Ingotu. Ascent/Descent 500m; 12 miles; 6 ½ hours ~ Slap Pericnik and Triglav North Wall. A wonderful walk into the heart of the Triglav massif. Plenty of interest along the way: the delightful mint green Bistrica river, the splendid waterfall at Peričnik, the impressive overhangs of the “galerije” path and the colossal North Wall of Triglav. Ascent 550m/Descent 250m; 12 miles; 7 ½ hours Kranjska Gora C grade walks ~ Three Countries. A lower level walk thorugh forest, villages, meadows and a Karawanken viewpoint into Austria. Visit the 3 countries Tromeja Peace Memorial. Ascent/Descent 1000m ; 10.5 miles; 5 ½ hours © Ramblers Worldwide Holidays 2015 ~Čiprnik. A short walk making use of the local chairlift. Easy walking along a forested ridge and mild scrambling to an excellent viewpoint on Čiprnik. This is followed by a challenging descent to the Planica valley. Ascent 300m/Descent 1000m ; 8 miles; 5 hours PERSONAL EXPENDITURE Travel costs in conjunction with the programme of walks may vary depending on the size of our party and weather conditions, please allow approximately £50-£60 per person per week. Any local excursions taken will be at additional cost. Please note that the estimation of local costs relating to this holiday is based on currency exchange rates valid in September 2015.

  • Slovenian Alps
    SLOVENIAN ALPS Mangart, Photo by Bor Rojnik Slovenian Alps are truly remarkable, easily discovered by road as well as by trails suitable for hikers and cyclists. Marvellous panoramas, blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests are surely never to be forgotten and are one of the most fascinating tourist spots in Slovenia. The high summits of the Julian Alps, the Karavanken chain and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, open up amazing panoramas of the surrounding territory. It is hardly to find such a blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests, elsewhere in the world within easy reach. The Julian Alps are a mountain range of the great Alps that stretches from northeastern Italy to Slovenia. They cover an estimated 4400 km², of which 1542 km² lies in Slovenia, and rise to 2,864 m at Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia. The entire mountain range constitutes about 150 mountains and is divided into two sections - the Western Julian Alps and the Eastern Julian Alps. 1 The Triglav National Park, boasting a number of peculiarities, is the largest and the earliest protected natural heritage site in the country. It is located in the north-west of Slovenia, more precisely in the Julian Alps. The park was named after the highest mountain of Slovenia, the Triglav, which is located nearly at the center of the park. It is the only National Park in Slovenia and among the earliest European parks. Pokljuka, is the southernmost highland marsh in Europe and a natural habitat of sphagnum moss. Near Kranjska Gora you can find nature reserve, the Zelenci, whom lakes provide Sava Dolinka with its source.

  • JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK 2The Julian Alps
    1 JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK www.slovenia.info 2The Julian Alps The Julian Alps are the southeast- ernmost part of the Alpine arc and at the same time the mountain range that marks the border between Slo- venia and Italy. They are usually divided into the East- ern and Western Julian Alps. The East- ern Julian Alps, which make up approx- imately three-quarters of the range and cover an area of 1,542 km2, lie entirely on the Slovenian side of the border and are the largest and highest Alpine range in Slovenia. The highest peak is Triglav (2,864 metres), but there are more than 150 other peaks over 2,000 metres high. The emerald river Soča rises on one side of the Julian Alps, in the Primorska re- gion; the two headwaters of the river Sava – the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka – rise on the other side, in the Gorenjska region. The Julian Alps – the kingdom of Zlatorog According to an ancient legend a white chamois with golden horns lived in the mountains. The people of the area named him Zlatorog, or “Goldhorn”. He guarded the treasures of nature. One day a greedy hunter set off into the mountains and, ignoring the warnings, tracked down Zlatorog and shot him. Blood ran from his wounds Chamois The Triglav rose and fell to the ground. Where it landed, a miraculous plant, the Triglav rose, sprang up. Zlatorog ate the flowers of this plant and its magical healing powers made him invulnerable. At the same time, however, he was saddened by the greed of human beings.

  • Impact of the Mean Daily Air Temperature Calculation on the Rainfall-Runoff Modelling
    water Article Impact of the Mean Daily Air Temperature Calculation on the Rainfall-Runoff Modelling Nejc Bezak * , Lazar Cerovi´cand Mojca Šraj Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia; [email protected] (L.C.); [email protected] (M.Š.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +386-1-4254-052 Received: 12 October 2020; Accepted: 12 November 2020; Published: 13 November 2020 Abstract: Conceptual rainfall-runoff models besides precipitation and discharge data generally require estimates of the mean daily air temperature as input data. For the estimation of the mean daily air temperature, there are different methods available. The paper presents an evaluation of the impact of the mean daily air temperature calculation on the rainfall-runoff modelling results. Additionally, other measured variables and rating curve uncertainty were assessed. Differences in the mean daily air temperature values were evaluated for the 33 meteorological stations in Slovenia and additional investigations were conducted for four selected meso-scale catchments located in different climates. The results of the application of four equations for the mean air temperature calculation yielded the mean absolute error values between 0.56–0.80 ◦C. However, the results of rainfall-runoff modelling showed that these differences had an almost negligible impact on the model results. Differences in the mean simulated discharge values were no larger than 1%, while differences in the maximum discharge values were a bit larger, but did not exceed 5%. A somewhat larger impact on the model results was observed when precipitation and water level measurements’ uncertainty was included.

    POVRATNE DOBE VELIKIH IN MALIH PRETOKOV ZA MERILNA MESTA DRŽAVNEGA HIDROLOŠKEGA MONITORINGA POVRŠINSKIH VODA Sektor za analize in prognoze površinskih voda Urad za hidrologijo in stanje okolje November 2013 Agencija Republike Slovenije za okolje POVRATNE DOBE VELIKIH IN MALIH PRETOKOV Ve čina hidroloških procesov v naravi se zgodi naklju čno, zato je uporaba verjetnostne teorije in matemati čne statistike v hidrologiji neizogibna za reševanje hidroloških problemov in za boljši opis hidroloških procesov. Verjetnost nastopa dolo čenega pojava predstavlja eno izmed najpomembnejših analiz hidroloških podatkov, kjer na podlagi predhodnih dogajanj napovedujemo dogodke v prihodnosti. Vsak napovedan dogodek (pretok) pa ima dolo čeno verjetnost nastopa. Zaradi enostavnosti in lažjega razumevanja v praksi verjetnost nastopa prikazujemo z njeno recipro čno vrednostjo, to je povratno dobo dogodka. Povratna doba je ocena časovnega intervala med dogodki. Pretok s povratno dobo 10 let je koli činska ocena pretoka, ki se v povpre čju pojavi enkrat na 10 let. Pomembno je poudariti, da je pojav dogodka slu čajen, saj se v kronološkem smislu dogodki ne pojavljajo vsakih 10 let, ampak pri čakujemo, da se bo dogodek pojavil 10- krat v 100 letih, ali v povpre čju vsakih 10 let. Povratne dobe smo izra čunali za najve čje letne pretoke (letne visokovodne konice – Qvk) in najmanjše male letne srednje dnevne pretoke (Qnp). Izra čun je narejen za lokacije merilnih mest državnega hidrološkega monitoringa površinskih voda z nizom podatkov vsaj 10 let (slika 1, preglednica 1). V izra čunih so upoštevana razpoložljiva obdobja podatkov do vklju čno leta 2010. Za ra čunanje povratnih dob smo uporabili Pearson III in Log Pearson III porazdelitveni funkciji, ki sta v hidrološki praksi najpogosteje uporabljeni metodi.

  • Crayfish of the Upper Soca and Upper Sava Rivers, Slovenia
    Bull. Fr. Pêche Piscic. (1997)347:721-729 — 721 — CRAYFISH OF THE UPPER SOCA AND UPPER SAVA RIVERS, SLOVENIA. Y. MACHINO 13 rue Montorge, 38000 Grenoble, France. Reçu le 04 juillet 1997 Received 04 July, 1997 Accepté le 29 août 1997 Accepted 29 August, 1997 ABSTRACT Crayfish biogeography of northwestern Slovenia was studied in the Upper Soca River (Mediterranean drainage) and the Sava Dolinka River (Danubian drainage). The Mediterranean drainage has white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) and the Danubian drainage has stone crayfish (A. torrentium). Morphological data of these A. pallipes suggest that the Slovenian white-clawed crayfish belong to the Austropotamobius pallipes italicus complex. The biogeographic and morphological data support the present general knowledge that in Slovenia the white-clawed crayfish belongs to a Po-Adriatic fauna and the stone crayfish to a Danubian fauna. A third species, the noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), was found in Danubian waters, but its biogeographic meaning may not be significant because the species is present in, and has been introduced into, waters of both the Mediterranean and Danubian drainages. The noble crayfish from a Slovenian lake, Blejsko jezero, has certain morphological characteristics that require additional investigations before its taxonomic position can be clarified. The stone crayfish of the Sava Dolinka now survives in only a few sites, relics of a former wider distribution destroyed by human activities. On the other hand, the white-clawed crayfish of the Soca is still distributed widely. But it is timely to consider their protection because the Soca region is now under major tourist development pressure. Key-words : Austropotamobius pallipes, Austropotamobius torrentium, Astacus astacus, biogeography, taxonomy, protection, Slovenia.
