Diapozitiv 1 SLOVENIA Slovenia, basic information • In 1991 Slovenia became independent by winning a ten-day war. • Since then it has been a democratic republic. • We are also a member of the UN, EU, NATO and Schengen area. Facts • Slovenia lies in Central Europe. It covers about 20 000 km2. • It is surrounded by Austria in the North, Hungary in the Northeast, Croatia in the East & South and Italy in the West. • There are around two million inhabitants. Facts • The Slovenian coast line is about 46km long. • That means that every Slovenian gets around 20cm of space on the beach. Take a look at the picture to see what it looks like. Animals and forests • 58% of our land is covered by forests, which makes us the third most forest covered country in Europe. Animals and forests • There we can find many animals: badgers, brown bears, deer etc. Animals and forests • In the forests around Kočevje you can even see a lynx, a very dangerous and a bit exotic animal. Animals and forests • Believe it or not, we have hunters, too. • And there are many, many, many scouts in Slovenia. We think that they are the most dangerous animals. Mountains • The highest mountain in Slovenia is the Triglav, 2864m. • Triglav means Three-Headed (see the shape of the mountain). • On top of it there is Aljaž Tower. Mountains • There are many animals, like chamois, capras, eagles, marmots etc. Mountains • If you like mountains, go and climb the Triglav north wall which is still a chalenge for mountaineers. • If you are looking for adventures, cycling is the right answer. • And if you just want to enjoy nature, go hiking. Lakes • Lake Bled, a glacial lake, is very popular with tourists. • It is surrounded by mountains and forests. There is a medieval castle on top of the hill on the northern side of the lake. • The island in the middle of the lake is the only natural island in Slovenia. • Lake Bled is well known among rowers as it offers good conditions for rowing. Lakes • The Triglav Lakes Valley, a rocky hanging valley in the Julian Alps, is also called the Seven Lakes Valley, although there are ten lakes in it. Lakes • Lake Bohinj is the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. • It lies near Bohinjska Bistrica in the north-west of Slovenia, inside the Triglav National Park. Rivers • Many rivers cross the land of Slovenia the longest of which is the Sava. • Some other Slovene rivers are the Krka, the Kolpa etc. Rivers • Mountain rivers are perfect for white water rafting, canyoning and other river sports. Rivers • The Soca, the second longest river in Slovenia, glides through mountain ranges and valleys of the Triglav National Park in the northwest of Slovenia and in the norhtern part of Italy. • From its upper section it river gushes wildly toward its end at Tolmin. • The crystal clear mountain river abounds in marble trout, and grayling attracting fly fishers from the whole world. Sports • We love sports. • In Planica there is a sky jumping hill. Until 2011 it was the biggest in the world. • Planica is sometimes called "the mother of all jumping hills."

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. Key words: geoheritage, geomorphology, urbanization, spatial growth, Ljubljana Corresponding author: Jure Tičar, [email protected] Introduction connecting the diversity of geomorphological and geological elements with their interpretation During the 1990s, geologists and geomorphol- and recreation (Necheş 2016).

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.

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.

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.
