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.

Reiserute Day 1 ARRIVE IN BLED Arrive at your stunningly located 4-star hotel overlooking Lake Bled, its romantic island and mountains beyond. Time for a refreshing dip, sauna or massage before sampling chef Andrej Rovan's gastronomic cuisine - we promise that dining here for the next 2 nights will be a real treat! (Staying at Hotel Triglav, Half Board) Day 2 LAKE BLED CIRCULAR CYCLE Your circular warm-up ride takes you ﬁrst along the shore of Lake Bled and then through a series of sleepy Slovenian hamlets and on to 12th century Kamen Castle. Explore its Gothic and Renaissance keeps, and climb the preserved Roman tower - great views from the top. Picnic at the peaceful Zavrsnica Reservoir then cross the white-water Sava Dolinka River back towards Bled. We strongly recommend the short uphill detour to its castle - the oldest in Slovenia - with towers, ramparts, moat and viewing terrace. (Staying at Hotel Triglav, Half Board) Day 3 LAKE BLED TO TARVISIO After breakfast, we take you (25 mins) to Mojstrana, a gateway village to the Triglav National Park. You can almost reach out and touch the jagged limestone pinnacles of the Julian Alps on the one side, and the contrasting rolling hills of the Karawanken mountains on the other, as you start your cycle west through the valley.

Calibrating a Semi-Distributed Hydrological Model on Fella River Basin (Italian Alps)

Calibrating a semi-distributed hydrological model on Fella river basin (Italian Alps) Veronica Zoratti1, Elisa Arnone1, Giuseppe Formetta2, Silvia Bosa1, and Marco Petti1 1Università degli Studi di Udine, Udine, Italy 2Università degli Studi di Trento, Trento, Italy The Northeastern Italy and the therein Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) region are frequently hit by heavy and prolonged precipitations, which cause frequent debris flow and diffused shallow landslides. In this study we focus on a mountain sub-basin of the Fella river watershed, the Uque at Ugovizza, located in the northeastern Julian Alps of the FVG, where a disruptive rainfall-triggered debris flow occurred in 2003. The work aims at pursuing two main targets: (i) implementing a rainfall-runoff and hydro- morphodynamical framework for the analysis of debris flow initiated by intense heavy precipitation; ii) exploiting, for the first time, the flexibility of the GEOframe-NewAge semi- distributed hydrological model simulating high temporal resolution simulations (5-minutes) rainfall- runoff events. The GEOframe-NewAge is an open-source component-based modeling framework, which simulates the entire hydrological cycle of the study area, including the snow melting, the soil water storage and the runoff production and routing in the river network; the model is suitable for the rainfall-runoff event scale simulations in Alpine environment with scarce measurements. Specifically, we describe the results of the calibration and validation procedures applied to four selected intense events occurred in the period 2009-2019.

Dolo-Slovo Rocks! Geology Field Trip July 19-30, 2022 | $4,980
Dolo-Slovo Rocks! Geology Field Trip July 19-30, 2022 | $4,980 Twelve amazing days! The trip visits three of the most remarkable regions of Northeastern Italy and Slovenia; the Julian Alps, Lake Bled, and the Postojna Caves of Slovenia, the Trieste/Carso (Karst) area, and the enchanting Dolomite Mountains. The trip begins and ends in Venice. Julian Alps - The Julian Alps are renowned for their scenic beauty, Slovenian culture, and gastronomic specialties. We will also visit the World Heritage Site at the unforgettable Postojna caves in Slovenia. Trieste & Carso Area - Trieste has the beauty of the azure Adriatic Sea. In this corner of Italy is the classical beauty of the Mediterranean landscape, tempered by the first hints of the Slavonic worlds, as well as the Alps, which provide an almost magical backdrop to the area. The long-standing Austrian-Hungarian presence can still be felt in the air here, and has left many traces in the landscape, in the cuisine, and in the local customs. The Carso is in fact one cultural and geographical entity, even though it now belongs to two different countries. It is a region known far and wide for its geological features—so important that they even gave their name to a whole series of geological phenomena (defined precisely as “karstic”). Dolomite Mountains - The Dolomites capture the imagination for their stunning peaks seemingly coming out of the dark green of spruce forests. The name “Dolomites”, almost speaks for itself as a synonym for “magical mountains”, with remarkable geology, charming towns, and delectable fresh local food and wine, handpicked by out fabulous local guide Massimiliano Calligola.
