Thank you for picking up this new The Slovenia guide - a great de- ci-sion to taste and feel Slovenia. Since 2008 we have published tons of guides and online content about Slovenia, however, this is the first time we can proudly write about Slovenia as a new European region of gastronomy. With the influx of English-speaking foreigners into Slo- venia, we decided to write this guide in English to help more people access Slovenia’s countless gastronomic experiences. There is no more unique a place in Europe than Slovenia, sitting at the cross- roads of great European cuisines from the Mediterranean and Karst, Panno- nia and the Alps. This is also the home of the best female chef in the world in 2017, Ana Roš, as well as several other of the top 100 chefs and restaurants in the world, and our unique evaluation The Slovenia Restaurant Awards. Before we began The Slovenia Restaurant Awards, and this subsequent The Slovenia Gastronomy guide, we, along with many others, struggled to find local information in English about good food and the best res- taurants. To do this, we spent a year comparing international systems and talking to chefs, restaurateurs and experts, eventually coming up with a three tiered system, consisting of an expert committee, the Gas- tronomic Academy, and the general public. After all of the voting, the result of our efforts was national and regional winners, finalists and a handful of recommended restaurants. This project could not have been completed without the great support of food experts, enthusiasts and sponsors – Diners Club International, Römerquelle, Winterhalter, Un- derberg, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food, Gostilna Slovenija and Deloitte – and also the media. Another huge thank you must go out to the chefs, our expert committee and, of course, the foodies. We be- lieve that you can use this guide on your culinary adventure of Slovenia. Niko Slavnić MSc 7 European Region of Gastronomy So different. So accessible! Green, active and healthy, Slovenia is the only European country that con- nects the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Karst and the Pannonian Plain. Its exceptionally diverse landscape and nature are tied to a colourful culture and gastronomy. At the very heart of Europe, at the meeting point of the Germanic world to the north, the Romance lands to the west, the Slavic Balkans to the south and Hungary to the east, is where Slovenian gastron- omy evolved through history. Slovenian dishes are made with local ingredi- ents: from produce grown in fields and gardens, to ingredients foraged in meadows and forests, salt harvested from the northernmost Adriatic salt pans, honey made by native bees, and wine that was a common drink around these parts even back in Antiquity, to healthy mineral waters that became the focal point of world-renowned spas centuries ago. Slovenia is a green, healthy and active country. Diverse gastronomy is therefore part of its culture. Slovenians preserve and cultivate it with the utmost respect for the environment and principles of sustainable development. In Slovenia, the grain fields are entwined with wine-growing hills, forests converge with Alpine meadows, where bovine and small cattle graze, luxuriant gardens alongside people’s houses flow into meadow orchards, and ol- ive groves offer vistas of the sea. Slovenian cuisine draws its originality from nature, and its cosmopolitan spirit from the influences of the four corners of Europe. If you wanted to get to know the most distinct dishes and drinks of as many as 24 gastronomic regions of Slovenia, you could sample a new dish or drink every day for 365 days. Culinary diversity is an increasingly decisive reason for paying a tourist visit to Slovenia.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The bio-chemical and physical characteristics of a river are directly affected by water temperature, which therefore affects the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. In this study, long term variations of river water temperatures (RWT) in Kupa River watershed, Croatia were investigated. It is shown that the RWT in the studied river stations in- creased about 0.0232–0.0796ºC per year, which are comparable with long term observations reported for rivers in other regions, indicating an apparent warming trend. RWT rises during the past 20 years have not been constant for different periods of the year, and the contrasts between stations regarding RWT increases vary seasonally. Additionally, multi- layer perceptron neural network models (MLPNN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) models were implemented to simulate daily RWT, using air temperature (Ta), flow discharge (Q) and the day of year (DOY) as predic- tors.

  • Nature Parks in Slovenia
    1 NATURE PARKS PARKS NATURE IN SLOVENIA www.slovenia.info 2 Slovenia is one of Europe’s most diverse states for fl ora and fauna with one of the continent’s best preserved natural environments. Having vast areas of pris- tine countryside constitutes a major advantage for Slov- enian tourism, allowing its development potential to be heavily oriented towards visitor’s desires for peaceful relaxation at close proxim- ity to the natural world. Where natural beauty takes your breath away... For a relatively small area, Slovenia off ers a unique mosaic of biological, geographical and cultural diversity, with dozens of major natural assets and items of signifi cant European cultural heritage. Around 12,6% of Slovenia’s territory is cover by protected natural areas, 36% of the territory is protected under Natura 2000, and almost 15,000 aspects of the country’s nature have been awarded the status “valuable natural feature”. By managing our country’s resources carefully we ensure that nature’s treasures are preserved for future generations, that local population development is planned responsibly, and that all economic development is sustainable. 3 Lake in Velika dolina - Škocjan Caves 02_ Introduction 14_ NOTRANJSKA Regional Park 26_ STRUNJAN Landscape Park 04_ Map NATURE PARKS IN 16_ GORIČKO Landscape Park 28_ LAHINJA Landscape Park SLOVENIA 18_ KOLPA Landscape Park 30_ ŠKOCJANSKI ZATOK Nature 06_ Nature parks in Slovenia Reserve 20_ SEČOVLJE SALINA Landscape 07_ TRIGLAV National Park Park 32_ RADENSKO POLJE Landscape Park* 10_ ŠKOCJAN CAVES Park

  • Rhodeus Amarus)
    MONITORING PROGRAMME FOR BITTERLING (RHODEUS AMARUS) by Jan Dušek with participation from Marko Ćaleta and Zoran Marčić using parts of the text and list of references prepared by Doru Bănăduc Range The range of Rhodeus amarus includes Eurasia with a disjunctive distribution. In Europe, R. amarus inhabits waters from the East of France, from the Alps and Dinarics mountains to the Ural and Caucasus mountains, including the Balkans area. Distribution in Croatia R. amarus is considered to be well distributed, common and present in high abundances in the suitable habitats in the continental biogeographical region (Drava, Sava, Ilova, Kupa, Sutla and Una and their alluvium and tributaries watersheds) (Figures 1 and 2). It often disappears or is not found in samples in some areas and reappears in nearby areas. In other biogeographic regions, it is an introduced invasive species. Consequently, it was considered that a monitoring program was needed for the Continental Biogeographical Region only. Nationally, there has been no permanent or long-term specific monitoring on distribution or population status of R. amarus. In spite of the fact that no exhaustive data about this fish species distribution in Croatian national territory is available, (a relatively common situation in some other European countries also) the present known data (Figure 2) represent reliable data for the proposal of a short medium-term monitoring elements proposal for Croatia. Nevertheless, the knowledge regarding R. Amarus in Croatia is considered to be sufficient when taking the status of the species into consideration. Figure 1: R. amarus presence identified in the last years Figure 2: Distribution of R.
