Od Ljubotena do Koraba. i. Dr. Jože Pretnar: Planinsko-smučarska odprava v Južno Srbijo. Njen postanek in pomen. V poletju 1933 so me vodila moja planinska romanja preko planin Južne Srbije: čez Perister in Galičico na Korab, pa preko Šar Planine in Čakora na Kotor. Izpolnil se mi je s tem mladostni sen, da si ogledam deželo kraljeviča Marka. Vtisi, ki so jih na- pravili name ti divni planinski kraji s svojimi prirodnimi, zgodo- vinskimi in narodnimi zanimivostmi in lepotami, so mi ostali ne- pozabni; pustili so za seboj hrepenenje, da se še in še vrnem v objem teh gora. Pri pogledu na prostrane planjave in zložno pada- joče gole strmine, od temena najvišjih vrhov do podnožja, so mi, že takrat rodile prepričanje, da imamo ne samo v državi, temveč tudi Planinski Vestnlk, 1J3J, št. 7 177 v evropskih gorovjih malo planin, ki bi nudile tako odlične pogoje za planinsko smučanje. Takrat sem se poslovil od Koraba z obljubo: »Kmalu na svidenje — v zimi!« Ob priliki lanskega kongresa Zveze planinskih društev kralje- vine Jugoslavije, ki se je vršil v Beogradu, je v razgovoru z neka- terimi tovariši padla odločitev, da se v okviru Zveze in pod pokro- viteljstvom ministrstva za telesno vzgojo naroda priredi v zimi ali zgodnji pomladi skupinska planinsko-smučarska tura po grebenih in vrhovih cd Ljubotena preko Šar Planine, Popove Šapke, Aleksan- drovega Visa in Šutmana ob Rudoki in Vraca-Planini na gorsko gmoto Koraba.

  • Slovenia Have Been Remarkable
    Mrak/Rojec/Silva-Jáur lovenia’s achievements over the past several years Slovenia have been remarkable. Thirteen years after Public Disclosure Authorized independence from the former Socialist Federative egui Republic of Yugoslavia, the country is among the most advanced of all the transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe and a leading candidate for accession to the European Union Sin May 2004. Remarkably, however, very little has been published Slovenia documenting this historic transition. Fr om Y In the only book of its kind, the contributors—many of them the architects of Slovenia’s current transformation—analyze the country’s three-fold ugoslavia to the Eur transition from a socialist to a market economy, from a regionally based to a national economy, and from being a part of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia to being an independent state and a member of the European Union (EU). With chapters from Slovenia’s president, a former vice prime minister, Public Disclosure Authorized the current and previous ministers of finance, the minister of European affairs, the current and former governors of the Bank of Slovenia, as well as from leading development scholars in Slovenia and abroad, this unique opean Union collection synthesizes Slovenia’s recent socioeconomic and political history and assesses the challenges ahead. Contributors discuss the Slovenian style of socioeconomic transformation, analyze Slovenia’s quest for EU membership, and place Slovenia’s transition within the context of the broader transition process taking place in Central and Eastern Europe. Of interest to development practitioners and to students and scholars of the region, Slovenia: From Yugoslavia to the European Union is a From Yugoslavia comprehensive and illuminating study of one country’s path to political and economic independence.

In order to preserve the natural wealth of the region, it has been designated as a National Park with the Law passed on March 3rd 1952, on account of "the historical and scientific significance of the forests and wooded areas around Mavrovsko plain, the specific landscape and the natural beauty of the region, the diverse flora and fauna and ethnological characteristics". In this area nature has created numerous beauties of different character. The relief, the climatic conditions, the hydrological and vegetative features, enhanced by human creativity, all contribute to making this region a particularly special place where the gifts of the nature and the resourcefulness of humans can be admired. The National Park Mavrovo encompasses numerous rivers, which present a real jewel in the crown of beauty for the mountain landscape, with their wild rapids, water-falls and incredible transparency: always full with clear and cold water, the springs never get muddy. One of the most impressive parts of the park are the striking gorges of the river Radika. The most dramatic is the Baric gorge. The horizon in front of the observer completely closes leaving open only the blue sky and the steep ascending rocks, in some places 1,500 m high.
