Exploring Slovenia's Julian Alps and Beyond
Exploring Slovenia’s Julian Alps and Beyond Two Treks and Balkan Culture in an Undiscovered Corner of the Alps August 30, 2021 – September 13, 2021 – Trip #2167 Triglav National Park Overview Join us for a wonderful fifteen-day trip to the undiscovered hiking and scenic paradise of Slovenia. We will pass medieval castles, churches, and traditional mountain villages as we walk through valleys, across mountain pastures, and traverse mountain ridges with towering peaks all around us. This trip combines two rugged short treks (one carrying all our gear and staying in mountain huts, and the other staying in hotels with luggage transport), an exciting ascent to Slovenia’s highest peak, and visits to the most scenic and interesting regions of this small, but incredibly beautiful country. A few words about Slovenia itself: it is a small country located in southern central Europe at the intersection of major trade routes and of the Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages and cultures. Historically part of many empires including Rome, Austro-Hungarian, Venice, and France, it is currently a prosperous, democratic European country of two million persons. Over 50% of its landmass remains forested. It is exceptionally bio-diverse for its size particularly as pertains to endemic cave species. Slovenia’s Place in Europe Trip Difficulty This trip is rated strenuous #6. Trip Rating System. Excluding breaks we will hike from five to seven hours per day, between 6 and 14 miles, with an average elevation gain of about 2500 feet. The terrain is rugged and steep in places, and requires agility. There will be sections on narrow trails with exposure (steep drop-offs).

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.

HIKING in SLOVENIA Green
HIKING IN SLOVENIA Green. Active. Healthy. www.slovenia.info #ifeelsLOVEnia www.hiking-biking-slovenia.com |1 THE LOVE OF WALKING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS The green heart of Europe is home to active peop- le. Slovenia is a story of love, a love of being active in nature, which is almost second nature to Slovenians. In every large town or village, you can enjoy a view of green hills or Alpine peaks, and almost every Slove- nian loves to put on their hiking boots and yell out a hurrah in the embrace of the mountains. 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.

Communitarian Institutions in Trenta Valley
Communitarian Institutions in Trenta Valley Peter Simonič INTRODUCTION The emergence, maintenance and disintegration of various collective, cooperative, communitarian management practices are examined in this article. I trace this stream inside different institutions (Douglas 1986). Households, neighbourhoods, villages, agrarian communities (commons), cooperatives, and tourist associations will be presented as persistent materialisation of the communitarian principle in the Trenta valley in the Slovenian Julian Alps. Persistence suggests that there was no clear historical break from a closed and collective to a rational and individualised society as sociology revealed (Tönnies, 2001 [1887]; Durkheim 1984 [1893]). Instead, everything is latent and total (Mauss 1966 [1925]; Graeber 2004) and most of it is (substantively, contextu- ally) rational (Malinowski 1992 [1922]; Boas 1940). Socio-economic 31 Anthropological perspectives of solidarity and reciprocity_FINAL.indd 31 14.1.2019 12:55:28 and socio-environmental relation should rather be classified due to kin- ship and spatial distance of the people involved (Polanyi 2001 [1944], 1957; Sahlins 1972; Ingold 1993; Narotzky 2007) and their morality (Scott 1976; Widlok 2017). Continuous communitarian institutions in Trenta could also mean that small Alpine valley holds some special features for the maintenance of indirect democracy and far-reaching distribution of resources and incomes, i.e. biophysical conditions and demography (comp. Netting 1981; Viazzo 2015). Trenta fair – a local market and religious holiday, will serve as “a ritual window”, a symbolic code of transition in this Alpine com- munity in the 20th Century. ENVIRONMENT – ECONOMY - DEMOGRAPHY Trenta is a long and narrow Alpine valley in the Slovenian Julian Alps. It stretches for about 20-25 kilometres from the southwest to the northeast, and covers about 8 to 10 square kilometres.

Balkan Rivers Tour - Event # 2: Soča River (Si), April 18-19
Balkan Rivers Tour - Event # 2: Soča River (Si), April 18-19 River Soča is Slovenia’s most famous river and a hotspot for the global flyfishing community. It surfaces as an impressive karst spring in the Trenta Valley, inside Triglav National Park in the Julian Alps. After 137 km, it discharges into the Adriatic Sea in Italy. Along the river, climatic conditions change from harsh alpine to submediterranean, creating a picturesque region of high biodiversity. The highly diverse valley is characterized by deep narrow gorges as well as wide alluvial gravel plains. It is one of the very few places where genetically pure marble trouts (Salmo marmoratus) can be found. Soča © Irena Kavčič Učja © Irena Kavčič While five big as well as many small hydroelectric power plants are already operating on the river, many more are planned in the upper Soča Basin, particularly on the Učja River, one of the most intact tributaries of Soča.

Internationales Symposion INTERPRAEVENT 2004 – RIVA / TRIENT THE STOŽE LANDSLIDE AND PREDELICA TORRENT DEBRIS FLOW Consequences and Response to the Disaster STOŽE RUTSCHUNG UND PREDELICA MURGANG Konsequenzen und Katastrophenmanagement Aleš Horvat1 SUMMARY Autumn 2000 was extremely wet in Slovenia. A number of severe disasters occurred in November 2000. The event that caused the most significant damage was the landslide Stoze that provoked the torrent Predelica debris flow. As the triggering area was very steep, the landslide immediately changed into a debris flow. The debris flow destroyed the part of the village Log pod Mangrtom, two small hydropower stations and two bridges on the state road to Italy (Bovec- Predel - Tarvisio). The important tourist road towards Mangart Col was cut off and destroyed in the length of ca 1km. There was great damage coused to electricity supplies and telephone connections. The local economy, such as tourism and farming, suffered great losses. The disaster in Log pod Mangartom was a severe test for the Slovene Civil Protection forces, which until then had not yet confronted a similar phenomenon of such vast dimensions. Protection, rescue and relief activities in the affected area were conducted by the municipial civil protection unit with the support of the regional and national civil protection units. The conditions below the landslide area were gradually returning to normal. The article focuses on lessons learnt from intervention measures taken by the Slovene Civil Protection forces in extremely difficult (geographical, technical, social, psychological,..) conditions. Key words: Natural disasters, Landslides, Debris flow, Intervention, Civil Protection, Crisis Management, Public relations ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Das Novembergewitter 2000 führte an mehreren Standorten Sloweniens zahlreiche Zerstörungen herbei.
