Geologisch befindet sich das Bacher Gebirge am südwestlichen Rand des steirischen Beckens und nahe einer tektonisch sehr aktiven Zone der Europäischen Alpen: das Periadri- atische Lineament. Etwa 10 km nordwestlich des Bacher Gebirges verlässt die Drau das Miozän-Pliozäne Klagenfurter Becken und verändert ihre Fliessrichtung von Ost nach Süd, der Lavanttal/Labot-Störung folgend. Am Nordwesteck der Antiform des Bacher Gebirges wird die Drau wieder in eine Ost-Richtung abgelenkt, anstatt dem tektonischen und geomorphologischen Lineament der Lavanttal-Störung weiter nach SE zu folgen. Ab diesem Knick fliesst die Drau parallel zur Längsachse durch den Dom nach Osten. Ge- omorphologische und sedimentologische Hinweise zeigen, dass das Flusstales der Drau im zentralen Bereich des Gebirges um 1 km nach Norden an seine heutige Position verlagert worden ist.

  • 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.

  • The Geomorphosites in Lombardy
    Il Quaternario Italian Journal of Quaternary Sciences 18(1), 2005 - Volume Speciale, 39-61 THE GEOMORPHOSITES IN LOMBARDY Luisa Pellegrini, Paolo Boni, Pierluigi Vercesi, Alberto Carton, Lamberto Laureti & Francesco Zucca with contribution of Stefania De Vita Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Pavia, Via Ferrata 1, 27100 Pavia – e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: L. Pellegrini et al., The Geomorphosites in Lombardy. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2005). Lombardy is a region of Northern Italy with a territory whose structure includes, from the physical-geographical point of view, a very important portion of the Alps and the adjacent Po plain with a little part of the Northern Apennines. This situation is due to the complexity of the landscape with its great diversity of historical and human aspects, frequently studied and described, but also the same physical elements which are, owing to their interest, worthy of conservation as part of the cultural heritage. As in many other Italian regions and provinces, also in Lombardy the exigence of describing and making available sites and peculiari- ties of the landscape arose, together with the suggestion of specific naturalistic tours, by means of relative guidebooks, monographs and so on. The Authors of the present work (as a part of the national research programme on ‘Geosites and Italian Landscape’) made a census of geomorphosites in Lombardy in order to their improvement, conservation and availability, both on the tourist and the scientific level. From the operating point of view, because of the high heterogeneity of the Lombard physical landscapes, it has been necessary to dif- ferentiate three main areas: Alps, Po plain and Apennines.

  • The Freedom of Borderless Skiing Without Stress
    Winter in the mountains The freedom of borderless skiing without stress 140 km of slopes for safe and peaceful skiing Would you like to combine skiing with the thrill of battling against the wind on a sled pulled by a team of dogs? The mushing school in Tarvisio will welcome you with open arms. Do you dream of making an entrance on the dazzling stage where the great skiing champions show what they can do? Then Ravascletto-Zoncolan will be right up your street. Would you like to plunge into a world overflowing with snow activities especially designed for young people? If you choose Piancavallo you’ll be glad you came. Or do you maybe prefer a carriage ride? Sauris is your ideal location, even to take your first steps on the snow and experience the Albergo Diffuso hotel. Wherever your fancy lies, Friuli Venezia Giulia can offer a destination to grant your wishes, offering an all-round holiday with much more than simply skiing. Friuli Venezia Giulia means totally safe skiing without overcrowding in the five regional ski areas with about 140 kilometres of slopes. An enormous range of choices with something for everyone, no matter how well you can ski, and with guaranteed snow thanks to artificial snow-making. Another 100 kilometres of cross-country ski circuits through magical scenery provide even more variety. You can ski in Italy and Austria with a single ski pass, and have the same charming experience between Italy and Slovenia as well, thanks to the cross-border link between the Friulian ski area of Sella Nevea and the Slovenian ski area of Bovec: across Mount Canin the passion for snow is really borderless! With the FVG Card, the pass-partout to discover the region, even good value for money is guaranteed: card holders can use the ski-lifts to the Lussari Sanctuary and to Mount Canin free of charge, they can go walking on the snow in the Tarvisio area, in Carnia and in Piancavallo using the characteristic “ciaspe” (snowshoes) and obtain a discount when buying the multi-day ski pass.
