Fly Fishing in Slovenia FLY FISHING IN SLOVENIA www.slovenia.info #ifeelsLOVEnia Ljubljana beloved The Alps protected by Goldhorn Embraced by forests Karst stone with a soft heart Feel Slovenia! Welcome to the only country in the world that bears love in a Love its name. An old folk tale says love has a special power here. In Slovenia, beatiful Story things are right next to each other and you can experience them in a single day. Slovenians, conquerors of the world Slovenian Istria, salty love Waters and their healing touch Cheers, love Love water, love diversity! One is lively and rhythmic, the other is strong and decisive on its way to the des- tination, while the third is dreamy and mysterious. The rivers of Slovenia are to- gether with its tributaries as diverse and colorful as the regions where they flow. Slovenia is the only country in Europe which joins on small and easily accessible distances the Alps, the Mediterranean, The Carst and the Pannonia plains. Folk heritage says that Slovene rivers are sisters competing among themselves in finding their way to the sea. Some rush down the Alps to the Adriatic Sea, oth- ers flow every so magnificently to the Danube Region and Black Sea. Third group carves the underground beauty of Carstic caves filling up mysterious intermittent lake on the way while fourth take all their time flowing ever so slowly across the plains. They differ greatly in their character but their essence is the same, wherev- er they are headed Slovene rivers burst with life! Cristal clear Slovene waters surrounded by surprising green vegetation are home to almost hundred fish species. Among them autochthonous species deserve spe- cial attention. While fishing has long tradition, flyfishing is its crown and long respected way of fishing in Slovenia. The land of waters with 28 000 km of water- courses and 1300 lakes larger then 1ha, on 20 273 km2, offers flyfishing among the Alpine mountain tops or surrounded by Carstic phenomena. You will always be both close to the sea and wine hills not far away from the towns or hospitable villages, but feeling that the rhythm of everyday city frenzy is far away. Those who practice catch release fishing, enable the fish which is returned to the water unharmed to swim twice. Of course you can take the fish with you and enjoy its taste as well. If this is the case we recommend following the culinary tradition of Slovenia which goes: the fish need to swim three times, first in the water, then in oil and lastly in the wine. When you return from SLOVENIA. a perfect flyfishing day on one of surprising Slovene water courses, enjoy some of the tasteful fish dishes and other specialties of Slovene cuisine and toast to life Green. Active. Healthy. with excellent Slovene wines. Get to know Slovenia. Discover its particularities. Wherever you head, the water will be surrounding you, full of life. The life that can be hooked to the right fly! |1 RIVERS AND LAKES OF SLOVENIA MADARSKA (MAGYARORSZÁG) GRAZ, LEIBNITZ/Lipnica FELDBACH/Vrbna Bukovniko Murska jezero WOLFSBERG, entilj Gornja Radgona Sobota AVSTRIJA KLAGENFURT/Celovec Ledava LENTHY/Lenti è a v n Lenart ic (ÖSTERREICH) a Mu v Sl.goricah Trojiko ra jezero Dravograd D Lendava A U S T R I A rava P esn ic Maribor a Gajevsko Mea VILLACH/Beljak Rue jezero Slovenj Ljutomer TARVISIO/Trbi M Gradec is KLAGENFURT/Celovec l S in ÈAKOVEC ava Èrna ja Kranjska Gora Do Èrno jezero linka Jesenice VÖLKERMARKT/ na Korokem TARVISIO/Trbi Velikovec Ptuj Ormo R a d Slovenska o v Zg.

The latter has several native and indigenous fish species, which naturally adds to the diversity of fish populations.

  • The Experimental Watersheds in Slovenia
    THE EXPERIMENTAL WATERSHEDS IN SLOVENIA Mojca Šraj, Simon Rusjan, Sašo Petan, Matjaž Mikoš, Andrej Vidmar, Mitja Brilly University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Jamova 2, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia [email protected] Abstract Experimental watersheds are critical to the advancement of hydrological science. By setting up three experimental watersheds, Slovenia also obtained its grounds for further development of the science and discipline. In the Dragonja experimental watershed the studies are focused on the afforestation of the watershed in a mediterranean climate, on the Reka river the water balance in a partly karstic area is examined, and on the case of the Glinščica stream the implications of the urban environment are studied. We have obtained valuable experience and tested new measuring equipment in all three experimental watersheds. Keywords: experimental watershed, measurements, hydrology, afforestation, karstic area, urban area, Slovenia. 1 INTRODUCTION The experimental watersheds of the Dragonja, Reka and Gradaščica with Glinščica rivers are nowdays critical to the advancement of hydrological science, not only in Slovenia, but also on international level. Those watersheds have been equiped with modern measuring equipment for precise measurements of precipitation, intercepted precipitation, discharges, erosion and water quality. Thus contemporary experimental base was established used for scientific research and at the same time provided support to the teaching and studying process. The Dragonja river basin is situated on the border between Slovenia and Croatia. Due to political and social circumstances and poorly managed agriculture in the past, the catchment area has been depopulated in the past decades, leaving the forests to develop in the abandoned agricultural fields.

  • Vzdrževanje Dravinje Na Območju Natura 2000 – Primera Izvedbe Vzdrževalnih Del Pri Majšperku in Pri Studenicah
    R. KUZMIČ - 156 - AKTUALNI PROJEKTI S PODROČJA S. KALIGARIČ UPRAVLJANJA Z VODAMI IN UREJENJE VODA Robertina KUZMIČ* Simona KALIGARIČ** VZDRŽEVANJE DRAVINJE NA OBMOČJU NATURA 2000 – PRIMERA IZVEDBE VZDRŽEVALNIH DEL PRI MAJŠPERKU IN PRI STUDENICAH UVOD Pri izvajanju vzdrževalnih del se tudi na Dravinji srečujemo z dokaj kompleksno problematiko, ki po eni strani izhaja iz zahtev varstva narave, na drugi strani pa iz zahtev pri zagotavljanju ustrezne poplavne in erozijske varnosti. Osrednji del Dravinje je z Uredbo o posebnih varstvenih območjih (območjih Natura 2000 (6)), opredeljen kot območja Natura 2000, SPA in 2 pSCI (slika 1). Z Uredbo so opredeljeni so varstveni cilji iz katerih izhajajo varstvene usmeritve. S temi se posege in dejavnosti usmerja tako, da se zagotovi ohranjanje ali izboljšanje stanja vrst in habitatnih tipov območja. To pa lahko narekuje tudi prilagojeno rabo naravnih dobrin in upravljanja voda. V prispevku predstavljamo območji Natura 2000 in primera sanacijskih del, ki smo jih izvedli na Dravinji v letih 2005 in 2006 in pri katerih smo skušali slediti varstvenim ciljem oziroma specifičnim varstvenim usmeritvam, ki izhajajo iz naravovarstvenega statusa območja. Obravnavamo sanacijo erodiranih odsekov na dveh lokacijah, in sicer zajede pri Studenicah in sanacijo dveh zajed v bližini Majšperka. Na obeh obravnavanih lokacijah teče Dravinja po močno vijugasti in zaraščeni strugi. Zaradi izredno meljasto peščene sestave tal so konkavne brežine tu bolj ali manj erozijsko poškodovane. Starejša, dotrajana drevesa padajo v strugo, kar dodatno zapira strugo in pretočni profil. Zaradi sestave tal in delnega zmanjševanja pretočnosti struge prihaja v konkavnih odsekih do večjih poškodb brežin, v konveksah pa do odlaganja zemeljskega materiala, ter posledično s tem do nastajanja sipin.

  • Slovenian Alps
    SLOVENIAN ALPS Mangart, Photo by Bor Rojnik Slovenian Alps are truly remarkable, easily discovered by road as well as by trails suitable for hikers and cyclists. Marvellous panoramas, blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests are surely never to be forgotten and are one of the most fascinating tourist spots in Slovenia. The high summits of the Julian Alps, the Karavanken chain and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, open up amazing panoramas of the surrounding territory. It is hardly to find such a blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests, elsewhere in the world within easy reach. The Julian Alps are a mountain range of the great Alps that stretches from northeastern Italy to Slovenia. They cover an estimated 4400 km², of which 1542 km² lies in Slovenia, and rise to 2,864 m at Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia. The entire mountain range constitutes about 150 mountains and is divided into two sections - the Western Julian Alps and the Eastern Julian Alps. 1 The Triglav National Park, boasting a number of peculiarities, is the largest and the earliest protected natural heritage site in the country. It is located in the north-west of Slovenia, more precisely in the Julian Alps. The park was named after the highest mountain of Slovenia, the Triglav, which is located nearly at the center of the park. It is the only National Park in Slovenia and among the earliest European parks. Pokljuka, is the southernmost highland marsh in Europe and a natural habitat of sphagnum moss. Near Kranjska Gora you can find nature reserve, the Zelenci, whom lakes provide Sava Dolinka with its source.
