Product Description:
Tucked between the foothills of the Alps, the coast of the Adriatic Sea, and the beginning of the Panonian plains to the East, Slovenia is a beautiful land in Central Europe. Slovenia emerged fairly recently with a resilient culture and rich arts scene that has caused tourism to flourish. In Flavors of Slovenia, Hippocrene presents perhaps the only comprehensive guide to the country's cuisine. Ranging from such perennial favorites as Friko (hearty Potato Pancake), zlinkrofi (Meat Dumplings), Bakala (Dried Salt Cod Pate) and Kostanjeva Juha (Chestnut Soup) to more unusual preparations like Crni Rizoto (Black Risotto with Squid, ink included) and Mezerli (Baked Encrusted Pig or Veal Lung-a version of Haggis), Slovenian fare is both hearty and wholesome. Tales such legendary locals as the `sunshine salesman' and a Slovenian Robin Hood along with ghosts and fairytale castles also bring the culture alive in this unique volume. |

Product Description:
To mountain walkers, Slovenia is best known for the Julian Alps, but it has a lot more than that to offer, and the Slovene High Level Route crosses some of the most varied and interesting landscapes to be found anywhere in Europe. From Maribor, close by the Austrian border in the north-east, to Ankaran on the Adriatic coast in the south-west, the route covers 500km of outstanding mountain and upland walking: the vast forested plateau of Pohorje; the sheer limestone peaks of the Julian and Kamnik-Savinja Alps with their via ferrata protected routes; the traditional alpine pastures and flower-strewn ridges of the Karavanke; and the forested hills and olive groves of the limestone karst country that stretch towards the coast. Available for the first time to English-speaking walkers, the route is described in a series of 3 - 6 day treks of all levels of difficulty, which can be completed as single sections or linked in a number of ways for longer holidays. |

Click Here | Product Description:
This book contains around over 60 walks which bring the best of the Julian Alps to the English-speaking walker. The walks are organized around five bases - Kranjska Gora, Bovec, Kobarid, Bled and Bohinj - all of which have a range of accommodation and public transport facilities. There is something here for everyone - from easy valley walks and rougher forest trails to high-mountain protected routes, some of which require Alpine mountaineering experience. Several possibilities for multi-day walks are included. The Julian Alps are situated in the small independent republic of Slovenia, at the south-eastern end of the Alpine chain. Their highest peak, Triglav, at 2864m, may be smaller than some of the better-known western giants, but what the mountains lack in stature they make up for in interest and accessibility. The dramatic limestone peaks drop steeply through forests to flower meadows, and will give you a feast for the eyes no matter which direction you turn. |
