Attractive Danube Project Final conference Postojna, Slovenia, 28th–29th May 2019 Everyone is trying to attract people to come and live in their region, investors to start up their businesses there, tourists to come and visit, ideally all year round and not only during the main tourist season. But, where does the limit lie? More people, more traffic, more waste, higher requirements for a better transport infrastructure, investments and local accommodation arrangements. What effect do all these issues have on the wellbeing of the local population? How do we regulate them? Where do we make the compromise?

  • An Underworld Tailored to Tourists: a Dragon, a Photo-Model, and a Bioindicator
    Ivo Lučić. An underworld tailored to tourists: A dragon, a photo-model, and a bioindicator. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 83, no. 2, p. 57-65. DOI:10.4311/2018SS0106 AN UNDERWORLD TAILORED TO TOURISTS: A DRAGON, A PHOTO-MODEL, AND A BIOINDICATOR Ivo Lučić Abstract The history of studies of a subterranean tailed amphibian, known as the olm or proteus (Proteus anguinus), is a colorful indicator of the changing view of the world beneath our feet. Throughout history, the underground has been presented as other worldly inhabited by life not of this world. At first, caves were the habitat of ghosts and spirtits, and then as a symbol for hell with all its attributes. The olm, in light of this prominant worldview, is discussed here, in which its status changed from that of a mythical dragon, to a photo-model, to a biological indicator of environmental health. The mix of these roles, with which the modern notion of this animal is presented, is mostly generated by the experience of tour- guides in Postojna Cave in Slovenia. For a long time, Postojna was the only place that the wider public recognized as a home for proteus. This clearly shows the need to analyze the popular media constructions of environment. INTRODUCTION The first recognized cave-adapted animal, the olm, was described by Viennese zoologist J. N. Laurenti and named Proteus anguinus in 1768. Media interest in the olm has intensified in recent years. In mid-2016, it became one of the most frequent cave-related topics in the public media.

It is particularly famous for its unique double-track railway. Eight heavy metals – aluminium (Al), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), strontium (Sr), and zinc (Zn) – were determined in dust deposits by ICP-MS in order to assess sources of deposited particles on the cave walls. The samples were collected along the main passage in the cave, at different horizontal and vertical levels, in order to test horizontal homogeneity and study vertical distribution of the particles. It seems that the railway is an important anthropogenic source of particles, reflected in increased concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Zn, as well as of Fe and Mn in dust deposits at individual sampling sites. The maximum concentrations of Cu (217 µg g-1), Pb (4,940 µg g-1), and Zn (1,060 µg g-1) considerably exceeded their natural abundance and were explained by anthropogenic impact.

  • Mean Residence Time of Drip Water in Postojna Cave, Slovenia
    MEAN RESIDENCE TIME OF DRIP WATER IN POSTOJNA CAVE, SLOVENIA Magda Mandić1, Andrej Mihevc2, Albrecht Leis3, Sonja Lojen4, Ines Krajcar Bronić5 1Physics Department, University of Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia; [email protected] 2Karst Research Institute, Postojna, Slovenia; [email protected] 3Joanneum Research Institute, Graz, Austria; [email protected] 4Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia; [email protected] 5Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] Abstract. Postojna Cave (Slovenia) is one of the most famous karst caves in South Eastern Europe. Drip water is one of the factors that determines cave interior. During 2010 and 2011 monitoring of drip water in Postojna Cave was performed at 9 locations within the Cave. Drip rate was measured and the isotopic composition (18O) of drip water was determined. Rain water was collected at Zalog pri Postojni and its 18O composition determined. Variations in 18O of drip water range from -8 to -10 ‰. The mean residence time was estimated based on the assumption of complete mixing, and for different drip sites it varies between 7 months and several years. Key words: Postojna Cave, isotopic composition, drip water, MRT INTRODUCTION Postojna Cave (Slovenia) is famous karst cave in South Eastern Europe. Comprehensive investigation of percolation water drip rate and its chemical composition has been undertaken with the aim to monitor recent geochemical and stable isotope characteristics (Mandić, 2013). The interest in measurement of drip rates is to improve our knowledge of seepage dynamics in karst terrains (Genty and Deflandre, 1998). The rate at which water infiltrates into the cave is related to effective rainfall (water excess), the caprock lithology, structural and tectonic settings, and storage in the epikarst (Sondag et al., 2003).
