  • 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.

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.

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.

  • Russell Kapryn.Pdf
    Russell Kapryn Professor Kirsch, Professor Ramirez 19 July 2017, Slovenia Travelogue I will begin by stating that I am quite grateful and thankful for the Presidential Award for study abroad. This award was graciously started and championed by California State University, San Bernardino President Tomás Morales for all students who wish to participate in study abroad programs. Considering that this is 13th country I have been to in Europe, what I have gained in perspective from studying abroad in Slovenia is that Europe is culturally and geographically very diverse and that Slovenia certainly exemplifies this belief. Let us see why. When I arrived in Slovenia by bus from Vienna, I immediately noticed the immense natural beauty that this country has to offer. Trees, greenery, hills and mountains can be seen all around. Upon arriving in Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia I could not help but observe just how peaceful and relaxing the city centre is. Unlike most cities I have been to in the past, people are not scrambling around to get from Point A to Point B. Ljubljana is a city that you can take a leisurely stroll through where you can enjoy the city´s many shops and attractions. One such attraction of great historical interest that I have been to is Ljubljana Castle. This structure, which is perched high on a hill top and originally began as a fortress, was initially built in the 11th century. To get to it, one must either climb through trees to get to the top or take a tram. Upon entering the castle grounds, one gets a strong sense of the great history of the region.

And at that mo- ment, everything emerged that had waited right until the end: the best of everything! Enough to create another world. All this was brought together by the last, the most important element: a handful of love. This love had a special power. It connected the sea with mountains, forests with waters, fields with vine- yards, the specialties of the underground with the light of the sky, so the beauties touch each other in Slovenia. With this closeness, they changed the initial infatuation into a lasting green love; with their existence, they encouraged an active search for the good; with the experiences they enable, they boosted a healthy heart rate.
