  • 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.

  • Slovenia: the European Cycling Gem You’Ve Never Heard Of
    Slovenia: The European Cycling Gem You’ve Never Heard Of Story and photos by Carolyn Bys and Tyler Robertson fter several years of working, living, and, most important,A cycling around Central Europe, we were excited to finally cross into the northern edge of the Balkan Peninsula and into Slovenia. And, when we arrived, we were smitten. Sitting at the geocultural crossroads between Eastern and Western Europe and the Balkans, Slovenia is a land of contrasts. Italian flavored in the west with a distinct Austrian influence in the north while retaining the veneer of its former identity as Yugoslavia make a unique experience. Almost endless miles of gravel roads carried us over high ridges and along deep valleys. Dozens of storybook villages captured our attention throughout the countryside. Castles and churches seemed to sprout from the hilltops like mushrooms after the rain. Not only did Slovenia have these varied cultural influences, the terrain was equally diverse. We could ride the best of Europe — wine country, the Alps, and the Story and photos by Mediterranean — in a cross-country jaunt of roughly 1,000 kilometers. After an all-too-brief visit on our Carolyn Bys and Tyler Robertson trip from Prague, Czech Republic, to Dubrovnik, Croatia, we resolved to 20 Miles return and discover some of the best A H T R I Grad Slovenian bike-touring routes.
