How To Create A Border For Projector

Forward on the Lower Bohinj Group!

Last weekend I was again walking, this time it's on the top chain around his Rodica, the Lower Bohinj Mountains, at the south-eastern end of the Triglav National Park, the group from the peaks (from west to east) Bird, Šija , Rodica, Črna Prst. originally was planned to conquer the highest mountain in Slovenia, the Triglav (three-head ") itself, but the project had to be abandoned, as I learned two weeks ago in Bled, that this time of year, unfortunately, almost impossible to climb it in a day, for the few hours of daylight, also there is no connection by public transport to the base camps. So I followed the advice of the Park Center and have another tour planned.
went by train it to Bohinska-Bistrica (southwest of Bled) from there to climb to the Črna Prst along the chain to Rodica up to Šija, and I wanted to birds, but by the emergence of no more darkness was possible, and when I Šija already had to start the descent. The

(path) in detail:

the beginning, right from the village beyond, a sad place:


Here rest the brave men who sacrificed their lives for our country ...





After the rise of the cloud cover to the Črna Prst, also von 500 Meter auf ca. 1800 Meter, wobei bereits beim Anstieg in der Ferne das Triglav- Massiv sichtbar war. Das Ganze hat ein wenig länger als geplant gedauert, da hier auf der Nordseite auch bis Mittag noch Reif liegt, und man deswegen auf den freien Flächen zwischendurch recht vorsichtig sein muß.

Endlich am Črna Prst angekommen, folgte ich dann der Bergkette zum Rodica, den Gipfeln und Flanken entlang mit (kleinen) Klettereinlagen, was aufgrund des schmalen Pfades und steil abfallenden Flanken gar nicht so ohne war. Mir ist natürlich klar, daß das für Bergsteiger und Leute, die in den Bergen aufgewachsen sind, nichts besonderes ist, und sogar ein wenig lächerlich klingt, aber bitte to consider that I one hand Castle countries (not really mountains there) and secondly I'm not generally accustomed to rumzuturnen rugged mountains.
seems Moreover, the path to be used at not much, because I am all the way to Rodica no other hikers encountered (unless someone from the mountain rescue service, but must make it so).

Here the Bohinjsko Jezero (Bohinj lake), the West End, in the picture still behind the mountain, with the village Ukanc my ultimate goal was. This lake is actually the largest in Slovenia and is, for comparison, with just over 3 square kilometers of the expansion between Mattsee Keutschach.




Here is a part of the way, if you look very closely, you can see the path.




On Rodica, with 1966 m the highest point on the route, although the Veliki Roskavec ("Big Roskavec") next door so officially 1 meter higher, this is not on the path.

The Triglav (German name: Terglau), with 2864 m the highest mountain in Slovenia and in the center of the park.




lies in that direction (almost exactly south) Trieste, and to the right (southeast), 10 - 15 km away, runs the southern front on the Isonzo (Slovenian Soèa).



That area was part of the region in which 12 of the bloodiest battles of the 1st World War II were fought.


On the right side of the Šija, which for me was the end point of the walk along the chain.




From Šija we went in the direction of the bird ski hotels in the north (on the last photo at right), past the ski lifts of the bird-skiing area, from which I because of the oncoming night with the Cable Car wanted to take the town Ukanc, as had been recommended to me the lady in the Information Center in Bistrica. Unfortunately, however: the cable car did not drive! As I learned later in the resort, It is very likely that is because of the winter season beginning soon, the cable car for inspection out of service. Why are they in the Information Center did not know? No idea. The
was also the last 1,000 meters on foot until I was in Ukanc and then took my home to Ljubljana, where I arrived at 23:30.

Pure walking time: 12.5 hours

hiking in the area of my weekend seat

Wie die meisten meiner geneigten Lesern wissen, fürchteten meine Kollegen der "Instiution" den Einfluß, den ich als Daimyo der Provinzen des mittleren Westens Japans erlangte und verfrachteten mich auf den Posten hier, da sie glaubten, mich durch die geringere Entfernung besser unter Kontrolle zu haben. Wieder einmal haben sie sich getäuscht. Als neuer Herr über die Krain habe ich nicht nur neue Vertraute gefunden, sondern erfreue mich auch an anderen Vorzügen dieser Position. Wie beispielsweise meinem Wochenendsitz in Bled (Veldes).

Letztes Wochenende fuhr ich daher nach Bled, nahe der österreichischen Border in order to pay one of my best possessions a visit and a little hiking in the area.
Bled itself is very small and a tourist destination, but has also a well known specialty Kremna Rezina or more simply: Kremšnita (cream-sections), which I have tried the original recipe in the café of the hotel park. Then it was up to the Bled Castle, which sits on a promontory overlooking the lake.



The Castle in the model





On one side of the lake is a small island with a St. Mary's Church




From the castle I walked away then over the hills surrounding the lake, circled the lake or in part, at his side. Since, fortunately, in the afternoon the weather was a little better, it was all in all a nice trip, and I am glad that such a wonderful place is one of my dominion. Pure walking time: 8 hours

The old Laibach

Today we talk a little about the beautiful city of Ljubljana and from the oldest and most important part: The castle of Ljubljana.
first time officially mentioned in 1144 as a seat of Spanheimer, the hill was where the castle stands, however, since 1000 BC (or longer) used as a settlement. In 1335 it came under Hapsburg rule, which they in danger because of the Turkish 15th Century fortified strong (according to sources, the original castle was demolished Spanheimer practical and built a completely new look). In the 17th and 18 Century this was used primarily as Militässpital and Arsenal until es nach der Franzosenzeit in ein Gefängnis umgewandelt wurde. Es begann auch langsam zu verfallen, da man sich nicht mehr allzu sehr um den Erhalt kümmerte. 1905 kaufte die Stadt Laibach das Schloß und verwendete es nach dem 2. Weltkrieg als Wohnstätten für Bürger der Stadt (angeblich aber für sehr arme Leute, die Lebensbedingungen sollen wirklich absolut sub-standard gewesen sein). In den 60ern wurde die Totalrenovierung beschlossen, welche an die 30 Jahre dauerte, wodurch das Schloß heutzutage aber ein bebliebtes Touristenziel und Ort für kulturelle Veranstaltungen ist. Noch zu erwähnen wäre, daß der Eintritt frei ist, nur für den Gang auf den Aussichtsturm (1848 an Stelle des Wehrturms errichtet) muß man ein wenig zahlen.

Enclosed is the castle hill of the old city proper, which consists largely of houses built in the style of recession, as the city was taken in 1895 by an earthquake, which were causing particular course in the old town very much damage. Therefore had to be rebuilt large parts, while those of the Secession style a nice counterpoint to the Baroque houses remaining is (incidentally, the same happened already in 1511, but at that time the city was rebuilt in Renaissance style new).

The fountain of the three rivers of Carniola (unofficially, according to his architect: Robba fountain) in front of City Hall with the Cathedral of St. Nicholas im Hintergrund des zweiten Bildes. Der Brunnen zeigt (vergleichbar zum Erzherzog Johann Brunnen in Graz) die drei großen Flüsse der Krain: Laibach, Sawe und Gurk (Ljubljanica, Sava, Krka). Allerdings handelt es sich hierbei nur um ein Replikat, der Originalbrunnen steht inzwischen im Nationalmuseum.






Über die "Drei Brücken" gelangt man zum Hauptplatz im NW, den Prešeren-Platz, benannt nach dem berühmten deutsch-slowenischen Dichter France Prešeren, welcher heute als Nationaldichter Sloweniens gilt. Ebenso steht am Platz die frühbarocke Franziskanerkirche Mariä Verkündigung (ein besseres Bild wird nachgeliefert).




danaben More or less the same, is the main building of the University of Ljubljana, which was long the only university in Slovenia was and is today with over 60,000 students, one of the largest in Europe. It was founded after the First World War in 1919 (though there have been several previous academies in the city) and took over the old seat of the Parliament of Carniola as the main building (the historic use is still Krainer eagles can be seen above the portal).




Finally impressive symbol of the old town, I present the Dragon Bridge.
Planned after the earthquake and called the Jubilee Bridge in memory of the 40-year reign of the Emperor Franz Joseph I year (1888), designed by an architect Dalmatian (apparently a student of Otto Wagner) and 1900/1901 built by the famous Austrian engineer Josef Melan. The actual name was dropped after the opening, and just more of the "Dragon Bridge" spoken since the four corners are adorned each with a statue of a dragon (the symbol of the city). Apparently some people will call it "bridge-law", as the statues of those "dragon house," recalls.





What is most striking about the Old Town Ljubljana, is that it is kept very much in the Austrian style, one has to believe any problem, it would be in Graz and Salzburg.


interesting (and funny) facts / opinions about Slovenia:

The area around Ljubljana (and thus the city itself) was Charlemagne's Frankish Empire as part of the border region of Carinthia Mark. The first mention of the city (as a settlement) dates back to 1144, then in the name Luwigana, although recently a document estimated emerged in 1120, was uncovered, which already refers to the area. At present, investigations are still operated in this regard. In 1220 replaced by Laibach (the official name from 1278 after the victory of Rudolf von Habsburg on Ottokar II of Bohemia and closing of the Carniola) the municipal law and accompanied the coinage, the right to mint coins. The rule of the Habsburgs began the development of the town which, in a great reputation as a center of art in the 15th Centuries accumulated. Newly constructed in Renaissance style after an earthquake in 1511, with a large new city wall, began in the 16th Century to manifest the first time a Slovenian national consciousness, which is reflected in the publication of the first books (including Bible translation) in Slovenian. At the end of the 17th Century, large parts of the city in Stile des Barocks um- beziehungsweise neu gebaut, wobei besonders der Italiener Francesco Robba bleibenden Eindruck bis heute hinterließ.
In der Franzosenzeit als Hauptstadt der illyrischen Provinzen, später Teil des Königreichs Illyrien (Kronland des Kaiserreichs Österreich) festigte es um 1850 seine, schon im 18. Jahrhundert vorhandene Wichtigkeit als Transitpunkt durch den Anschluß an das neue Eisenbahnnetz, in diesem Fall an die "Südbahn", die wichtige Verbindung Wien-Triest.
Nicht unerwähnt bleiben soll auch der Umstand, daß Laibach 1821 Veranstaltungsort des Laibacher Kongreßes als Teil des "Konzerts der Großmächte" der Heiligen Allianz und deren Kongreßsystem war, um Streitigkeiten and problems in Europe peacefully. This period also saw the introduction of Slovenian as an official language was.
After the great earthquake of 1895 (which called for no fatalities) had parts of the city to be rebuilt, which was done primarily by Austrian and Bohemian architect in the style of the Vienna Secession, furthermore saw Laibach a big push to modernize, especially concerning its urban infrastructure.
Although the Isonzo front in the battles, the first World War I was relatively close, the city was only indirectly and as it were remotely affected by the war. As part of the SHS-state Laibach has finally become the administrative, political and cultural center of Slovenia und der Slowenen und besonders der Architekt Jože Pleènik drückte der Stadt seinen Stempel auf (so sind die modernen Dreibrücken ebenso sein Werk). Im 2. Weltkrieg als "Lubiana" italienisch besetzt, wurde es danach Hauptstadt der slowenischen Teilrepublik der sozialistischen föderativen Republik Jugoslawien, und 1991 der Republik Slowenien.

Das Stadtwappen Laibachs stellt einen linksgwandten Drachen, sitzend auf dem höchsten Turm der Burg Laibach auf rotem Hintergrund dar, wobei der Drache im Laufe der Zeit das hervorstechende Symbol für die Stadt wurde. Der Legende zufolge soll es sich bei dem Drachen um jenes Monster handeln, welches Jason bei der Rückreise der Argonauten (über Donau, Save und dem Fluß Laibach killed) near the present city. The more likely explanation is that the dragon of the legend of St. George was taken, who is the patron saint of the chapel. Another explanation is that it was coincidence, perhaps, come by the fact that he was pure decoration on the arms and was in the baroque part of that until the 18-19. Century as a dominant symbol and element emerged. As an interesting final detail would be to remark that the fact the arms of Ljubljana and Klagenfurt are very similar.
