Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, wurden Wässer aus tiefen Brunnen und Quellen im Gebiet Rovte und Wässer aus Thermalbrunnen und subthermalen Quellen im Gebiet Cerkno/Kranj analysiert. Die hydrochemischen Analysen wurden mit Spektrophotometrie, Ionenchromatographie und Atomabsorptionsspektrometrie und die Isotopen-Analysen (δ2H und δ18O) mit dem automatischen Analysegerät Picarro L2130-i vorgenommen. Die Brunnen Z (Zavčan), R (Rodofov Mlin) und B (Bizjakov Mlin) durchteufen Schichten von Gips in einer Tiefe von mehreren hundert Metern. Daher zeigen die 2- Wasserproben der Brunnen Z und R hohe SO4 -Konzentrationen und molare Mg2+/Ca2+-Verhältnisse kleiner als 1. Die Wasserproben von den oberflächennahen 2- - - Quellen zeigen sehr geringe SO4 -, aber im Gegensatz dazu hohe NO3 - and Cl - Konzentrationen. Diese sind eindeutig durch anthropogene Einflüsse beeinflusst. Die Isotope (δ2H and δ18O) der Brunnen Z und R befinden sich im gleichen Bereich. Dies läßt darauf schließen, dass die Wässer von Z und R dem gleichen Aquifersystem entstammen. Berechnungen der Saturationsindizes mit PHREEQC zeigen, dass die meisten Proben der Brunnen mit Calcit übersättigt und meistens 2- mit Dolomit untersättigt sind. Außerdem zeigt das Diagramm pH vs. SO 4 - Konzentration eine negative Korrelation. Dies und die präferentielle Abfuhr von Mg2+ aufgrund der molaren Mg2+/Ca2+-Verhältnisse kleiner als 1, deutet auf eine derzeit ablaufende Dedolomitisierung hin. Hydrochemische Analysen der Wässer von den Thermalbrunnen und subthermalen Quellen zeigten, dass eine Tiefenzirkulationsmuster in NW- Slowenien existiert. Vermutlich werden die Bohrlöcher durch das tiefe Aquifersystem (nämlich die grau geschichteten Dolomite in der Oberen Trias, Norian) gespeist. VII Abstract (English) The purposees of this master thesis are on the one hand to assess if dedolomitisation is still an ongoing process in the underground of the Rovte area (W Slovenia) and on the other hand to characterise the hydrochemistry of thermal wells and subthermal springs in NW-Slovenia. To achieve these purposes, waters from deep wells and springs in the Rovte area and waters from thermal wells and subthermal springs in the Cerkno/Kranj area were analysed. Hydrochemical analysis was done by spectrophotometry, ion chromatography and atom absorption spectrometry. Isotope analysis (δ2H and δ18O) was done with the automated Picarro L2130-i analyser. The wells Z (Zavčan), R (Rodofov Mlin) and B (Bizjakov Mlin) penetrate gypsum strata at a depth of several hundred meters. Thus, samples from wells Z and R 2- 2+ 2+ show high SO4 concentrations and molar-Mg /Ca -ratios lower than 1. In 2- - contrast, water samples from surface springs show very low SO4 but high NO3 and Cl- concentrations. These samples are clearly impacted anthropogenically. The isotopes (δ2H and δ18O) of the wells Z and R are in the same range suggesting that the waters from Z and R derive from the same aquifer system. The Calculation of saturation indices with PHREEQC shows that most samples from the wells were supersaturated with respect to calcite and mostly undersaturated with respect to dolomite. Furthermore, the diagram of pH vs. 2- SO4 concentration from Z and R show a negative correlation. This and the preferential removal of Mg2+, as suggested by the molar-Mg2+/Ca2+-ratios lower than 1, indicates that dedolomitisation might still be occurring. The hydrochemical analysis of the waters from thermal wells and subthermal springs revealed that a deep flow pattern exists in NW-Slovenia. The boreholes probably drain the deep aquifer system (namely the Upper Triassic Norian stage grey stratified dolomite).

From urban geodiversity to geoheritage: the case of Ljubljana (Slovenia). Quaestiones Geographicae 36(3), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 37–50. 7 figs, 1 table. aBsTracT: The city of Ljubljana lies at the intersection of various geomorphological regions that have strongly influ- enced its spatial organization. Prehistoric settlements were built on marshland, a Roman town was built on the first river terrace of the Ljubljanica River, and in the Middle Ages a town was built in a strategic position between the Lju- bljanica River and Castle Hill. The modern city absorbed all usable space between the nearby hills. This paper reviews some relief features in Ljubljana, their influence on the city’s spatial development, and urban geoheritage. The results indicate new possibilities for urban geoheritage tourism in the Slovenian capital and its surroundings. Key words: geoheritage, geomorphology, urbanization, spatial growth, Ljubljana Corresponding author: Jure Tičar, [email protected] Introduction connecting the diversity of geomorphological and geological elements with their interpretation During the 1990s, geologists and geomorphol- and recreation (Necheş 2016).

  • 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.

  • A Slovak Perspective on the Lattimer Massacre
    31 A Slovak Perspective on the Lattimer Massacre M. Mark Stolarik University of Ottawa As Michael Novak noted in the "Introduction" to his Guns of Lattimer: The True Story of a Massacre and a Trial, August 189 7- March, 1898, one of the greatest labor slaughters in American history "has been strangely neglected in history books."' Perhaps that is why the American film and television industry has also ignored it.2 And yet, as George Turner pointed out over a decade ago, there are plenty of sources on this tragic episode in Ameri- can labor history, including those produced by immigrants.3 I will look at the reaction of one immigrant group that was victimized at Lattimer-the Slovaks- in order to add to our knowledge of the reaction of various ethnic groups to this tragedy. The Slovaks were recent immigrants to the United States. They had been coming from their ancient homeland in the Kingdom of Hungary only since the 1870's in search of work in America's industrial heartland. The largest number found employment as unskilled laborers in the anthracite and bituminous coal fields of eastern and western Pennsylvania, in the steel mills of the Pitts- 1.

When I checked the recent CD ROM on "American History and Life" under the heading "Lattimer Massacre," in our university library, I found only eight titles related to this subject: Michael Novak's book, a review of the book, three articles on the massacre commissioned by Novak and published in the annual Slovakia, 1977, an article by Harold Aurand on "Early Mine Workers' Organizations in the Anthracite Region," Penn- sylvania History, 58 (No.4, 1991), and an article in PennsylvaniaFolklore.

Healthy. www.slovenia.info #ifeelsLOVEnia www.hiking-biking-slovenia.com |1 THE LOVE OF WALKING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS The green heart of Europe is home to active peop- le. Slovenia is a story of love, a love of being active in nature, which is almost second nature to Slovenians. In every large town or village, you can enjoy a view of green hills or Alpine peaks, and almost every Slove- nian loves to put on their hiking boots and yell out a hurrah in the embrace of the mountains. Thenew guidebook will show you the most beauti- ful hiking trails around Slovenia and tips on how to prepare for hiking, what to experience and taste, where to spend the night, and how to treat yourself after a long day of hiking. Save the dates of the biggest hiking celebrations in Slovenia – the Slovenia Hiking Festivals. Indeed, Slovenians walk always and everywhere. 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. Experience this joy and connection between people in motion. 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. There arerolling, wine-pro- ducing hills wherever you look, the Pannonian Plain spreads out like a carpet, and one can always sense the aroma of the salty Adriatic Sea.
