{ Pismo }
Drage potnice, cenjeni potniki!
Veseli me, da vam lahko v imenu vseh zaposlenih v
Adrii Airways zaželim dobrodošlico in prijetno počutje
na našem letalu.
V preteklem letu smo z Adrijinimi letali prepeljali 1.163.000 potnikov,
kar potrjuje, da je naše podjetje pomemben letalski prevoznik na trgu
jugovzhodne Evrope. Dodobra smo že vstopili v novo poslovno leto, ki
bo po vseh napovedih prineslo letalski industriji še večje izzive, kot jih
je bila vajena do sedaj. V Adrii se spremenjenim razmeram prilagajamo
in iščemo najrazličnejše poslovne priložnosti. Za vas smo pripravili
določene izboljšave in novosti, ki jih bomo uvedli predvsem v poletnem
voznem redu, ko bo Ljubljana z več kot 170 rednimi tedenskimi poleti
povezana z 18 destinacijami. Kot dobrodošlo
novost lahko omenim tudi ponovne direktne
polete iz Ljubljane v London, s katerimi bomo
pričeli 25. marca. Redni leti iz Prištine v nemški
mesti Frankfurt in Muenchen so se v obdobju
od decembra 2010 do danes že dobro uveljavili,
temu pa od 28. januarja dalje dodajamo dvakrat
tedensko še povezavo med Prištino in italijansko
Verono. Linija bo odlična povezava za vse
potnike, namenjene v severni del Italije. Vabimo
vas, da obiščete naše spletne strani www.adria.
si, kjer boste našli še več koristnih informacij o
Adrijinih letih.
Za poletno sezono smo pripravili za naše
potnike v okviru čarterskih letov tudi pester
izbor počitniških destinacij, predvsem v
Sredozemlju, kamor bodo letela Adrijina letala
v sodelovanju s turističnimi agencijami. Želimo
si, da bi v tem pestrem naboru vsak od vas našel
tudi kaj zase.
Marca bomo v Adrii obeležili še eno obletnico.
Redna letalska povezava med Ljubljano in
Zuerichom praznuje 20-letnico neprekinjenega delovanja. Iz majhne
linije s petimi tedenskimi leti in 11.000 potniki v letu 1992 se je razvila
v eno najuspešnejših Adrijinih linij z 20-imi tedenskimi leti in 74.000
prepeljanimi potniki v letu 2011.
Tokratno številko In-Flighta smo obarvali okolju prijazno. Poleg tem, o
katerih pišemo tokrat – naj povzamem kar enega od naslovov »Z mislijo
na naravo« –, je tudi revija sama bolj »ekološka«, saj je natisnjena na
papirju manjše gramature in je zato lažja. To je naš prispevek k manjši
porabi goriva na Adrijinih letih. Zavedamo se namreč, da ekološko
obnašanje ni le modna muha, ampak mora postati način obnašanja
tako na osebni ravni kot v podjetjih.
Hvala vam za izkazano zaupanje in kmalu spet na svidenje na katerem
izmed naših letal!
Dear Passenger,
On behalf of everyone at Adria Airways, I am delighted
to welcome you on board and to wish you a very pleasant
flight.
LLast year Adria aircraft carried 1,163,000 passengers, confirming our company
as a key airline in the market of Southeast Europe. And we have already
made a good start to the new year, which by all accounts should present
the airline industry with even greater challenges than it has been used to.
At Adria we are adapting to the changed conditions, and are seeking out
a wide variety of commercial opportunities. For you, our passengers, we
have designed specific improvements and new features that will come in
mainly with the summer timetable, when more than 170 scheduled weekly
flights will link Ljubljana to 18 destinations. One
welcome feature I should mention is the reinstatement
of direct flights from Ljubljana to London,
which will start again on 25 March. Scheduled
flights from Priština to two German cities, Frankfurt
and Munich, have been very successful since
starting in December 2010, and from 28 January
we will be adding two services a week between
Priština and the Italian city of Verona. This will be
an ideal service for any travellers heading to the
northern part of Italy. Do check out our website
www.adria.si, which offers details and other useful
information about Adria flights.
For the summer our charter services are gearing
up for a busy season, offering a fine selection of
holiday destinations, mainly around the Mediterranean,
which Adria aircraft will be serving in
cooperation with travel agents. Our wish is that
this selection of destinations will offer something
special for every traveller.

In March, Adria will be celebrating yet another
anniversary. Scheduled flights between Ljubljana
and Zurich will mark 20 years of continuous operation. Starting with a
minor service of five weekly flights and 11,000 passengers in 1992, this
developed into one of the most successful Adria services, with 20 flights a
week and 74,000 passengers carried in 2011.
This issue of our In-Flight Magazine has a particularly environmentally
friendly character. Alongside the topics covered in this issue under the
heading, “With an eye for nature”, the magazine itself is more “ecological”,
since it is printed on paper that weighs less. This is one of our contributions
to reducing fuel consumption on Adria flights. Indeed we are aware
that environmental actions are not just a fad, but must become a course of
action at both the personal and the corporate levels.
Thank you for your confidence in us, and we look forward to seeing you
again on our aircraft!

Zimski vozni red in napoved
poletnega voznega reda
Zimski vozni red Adrie Airways, ki je v veljavi le še do 24. marca 2012, vsakodnevno povezuje Ljubljano
z desetimi destinacijami in tako skrbi za čim boljšo povezanost Slovenije s svetom.
Adria Airways je v skladu s programom prestrukturiranja v zimskem voznem redu optimizirala mrežo
poletov. Iz Ljubljane tako opravlja 163 rednih tedenskih letov na 15 destinacij, večinoma po Evropi: štirikrat
dnevno leti v Frankfurt, trikrat dnevno na Dunaj, v Muenchen in Zuerich, Ljubljano pa povezuje z

na 1.290 letališč v 189 državah.
V poletni sezoni bo Adria Airways s čarterskimi leti, ki jih opravlja v sodelovanju s turističnimi
agencijami, povezovala Ljubljano s številnimi počitniškimi destinacijami, predvsem v Sredozemlju.

Ponovno z Adrio
direktno iz Ljubljane
v London
Obveščamo vas, da bodo začela letala Adrie
Airways s 25. marcem 2012 ponovno leteti v
London. Letala Airbus A-319 bodo iz Ljubljane
letela na londonsko letališče Luton ob sredah,
petkih in sobotah zjutraj ter ob nedeljah v
popoldanskih urah.
Letališče Luton je oddaljeno od Londona 51
km, potnikom pa nudi določene prednosti, kot
so na primer: najhitrejša in najcenejša povezava
z vlakom do centralnega dela Londona (St.
Pancras), največ frekvenc na progi do Londona
– vsakih 10 minut vozijo vlaki 24 ur vse dni v
tednu – in izredna bližina letališča do avtocest
M 1 in M 25.
Adria reintroduces direct
flights to London
We are pleased to announce that on 25
March 2012 Adria Airways will recommence
flights to London. An Adria Airbus A319 will fly
between Ljubljana and London Luton Airport on
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings and on
Sunday afternoons.
Luton Airport is 51 kilometres from London and
offers numerous advantages to passengers: the
fastest and cheapest train connection to central
London (St Pancras), the highest frequency train
service to London (every 10 minutes, with trains
running 24 hours a day, every day of the week)
and the airport's vicinity to the M1 and M25
motorways.

Združenju letalskih prevoznikov Star Alliance se je v decembru 2011 pridružil že tretji afriški prevoznik,
Ethiopian Airlines. Adria Airways mu želi prijetno dobrodošlico.

Združenje letalskih prevoznikov Star Alliance
je skladno s svojo strategijo 13. decembra 2011
uradno potrdilo pričetek članstva že tretjemu prevozniku
z afriškega kontinenta; Ethiopian Airlines
se je tako pridružil prevoznikoma Egyptair in
South African Airways. Uradni podpis je bil slavnostno
obeležen z dogodkom na mednarodnem
letališču Bole v Adis Abebi; udeležili so se ga
predsedniki uprav ostalih članov združenja, med
drugim tudi predsednik uprave Adrie Airways
Klemen Boštjančič, in številni novinarji s celega
sveta. V času dogodka pa je potekalo tudi redno
letno srečanje poslovodstev članic združenja.
S prihodom prevoznika Ethiopian Airlines se
je število razpoložljivih letov na področju Afrike
povečalo na preko 750 dnevnih letov v več kot 110
destinacij v 48 državah. Ethiopian Airlines je svoj
prvi let opravil v letu 1946, in sicer v Kairo. Družba
danes zaposluje preko 6000 ljudi, v svoji floti pa
ima 47 letal in bo prvi afriški prevoznik, ki bo prejel
v operacijo letalo Boeing 787 »Dreamliner«.

{ Adria Airways }
Slavnostni dogodek je bil bogato kulturno obarvan.
Večer so zaznamovali plesni in glasbeni nastopi, ki
so predstavljali kulturne običaje iz različnih predelov
Etiopije. Dogodka pa so se poleg poslovodstev letalskih
družb in novinarjev udeležile tudi predstavnice
kabinskega osebja članic združenja letalskih prevoznikov,
ki so s svojimi uniformami zaznamovale ključne
trenutke za fotografski arhiv. Tudi predstavnica Adrie
Airways, Janja Grdiša, je ponosno predstavljala barve
naše družbe in prejela številne pohvale za videz uniforme.
Adria Airways, ki je postala članica združenja letalskih
prevoznikov Star Alliance v letu 2004, želi prevozniku
Ethiopian Airlines veliko poslovnih uspehov v
sklopu nove velike družine.

In December 2011 Ethiopian Airlines became the third African carrier
to join the Star Alliance. Adria Airways offers Ethiopian a cordial
welcome.
On 13 December 2011 the Star Alliance took a large step forward in
completing its Africa strategy by welcoming Ethiopian Airlines as
the Alliance’s third carrier based on the African continent; Ethiopian
Airlines joins Egyptair and South African Airways. The official signing
was marked by a ceremony at Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport
attended by the CEOs of other Alliance members, among them Mr Klemen
Boštjančič, CEO of Adria Airways, and journalists from all over the
world. The regular annual Star Alliance CEO meeting was also held in
Addis Ababa to coincide with the event.
With the addition of Ethiopian Airlines, the Star Alliance network in
Africa now offers more than 750 daily flights to have 110 destinations in
48 countries. Ethiopian Airlines operated its first flight in 1946 – to Cairo.
Today the company employs more than 6,000 people and operates a fleet
of 47 aircraft. It will be the first African carrier to take delivery of the new
Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The ceremony in Addis Ababa was a rich cultural experience. The
evening featured dance and music performances representing the cultural
traditions of different parts of Ethiopia. As well as airline CEOs and
journalists, participants at the event included representatives of cabin
crew from member airlines, whose presence in uniform helped mark the
key moments for the photographic archives. Adria Airways was represented
by Janja Grdiša, who proudly presented our colours and received
numerous compliments for the appearance of her uniform.
Adria Airways, which became a member of the Star Alliance in 2004,
wishes Ethiopian Airlines every success as a new member of this big family.

Novo mesto 1848–1918
Muzej želi z zgodovinsko razstavo ponazoriti utrip življenja prebivalcev Novega
mesta v drugi polovici 19. stoletja. Oblikovali so šest vsebin: Avstrijsko cesarstvo,
Krka in Novo mesto, Mesto in mestni simboli, Podobe mesta in ljudi, Uprava
in gospodarstvo ter Društveno in družabno življenje. Na ogled sta meščanska
spalnica in salon. Razstavljajo umetnoobrtne izdelke (pohištvo, kipe, zastave,
servirno posodo, spominske predmete itd.) ter slikovno in arhivsko gradivo iz
obravnavanega časa. Glasba iz orkestriona popelje obiskovalce v čas dunajskega
valčka in Radetzkega marša.
Razstavljavci poudarjajo pomen Novega mesta v narodnoprebudnem obdobju
zgodovine Slovencev; o tem govorijo: prva uprizoritev gledališke igre Ta veseli
dan ali Matiček se ženi, prvi ponatis Slave vojvodine Kranjske in prvi narodni dom na
Slovenskem.
Velik del razstave je prilagojen ogledu slepih in slabovidnih oseb. Z galerijo fotografij,
kvizom in računalniško igro želijo približati razstavo tistim, ki jim
je svet digitalnih vsebin bližje in jim omogoča, da se na internetni strani
www.novomesto1848-1918.si na malce igriv način seznanijo z vsebino razstave.
Avtorica razstave je Majda Pungerčar.
Novo mesto, Dolenjska Museum, until 24 February 2013
Novo mesto 1848–1918
This historical exhibition seeks to illustrate life in Novo mesto in the second half of the
19 th century. It comprises six thematic sections: the Austrian Empire, the Krka and
Novo mesto, the town and its symbols, images of the town and people, administration
and economy, and societies and social life. It showcases an urban middle-class
bedroom and drawing room. Exhibits include arts and crafts products (furniture, sculptures,
flags, tableware, commemorative items and so forth)x, as well as pictorial and
archive material from that period. Music from an orchestrion machine will carry visitors
off to the time of Viennese waltzes and the Radetzky March.
The exhibition emphasises the importance of Novo mesto in the period of Slovene
national awakening: the first staging of the play Happy Day or Matiček Gets Married,
the first reprint of The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola, and the construction of the first
narodni dom (national hall) in Slovenia.
Much of the exhibition is adapted for blind and partially sighted visitors. A specially
created website (www.novomesto1848-1918.si) contains a photo gallery, a quiz and
a computer game to appeal to those who are at home in the digital world, providing a
novel way to discover the contents of the exhibition.
The exhibition is curated by Majda Pungerčar.
Velenje, Muzej Velenje
Afriška zbirka Františka Foita
Muzej hrani zelo pomembno zbirko afriške umetnosti, ki jo je k nam prinesel
češki umetnik in kipar František Foit. Na svojih dveh potovanjih po Afriki je Foit
prepotoval celino od severa do juga. Na prvo pot ga je poslala praška univerza
z namenom izdelati antropološke podobe predstavnikov afriških plemen, na
drugo pot po Afriki pa se je zaradi navdušenja nad afriško kulturo odpravil s svojo
ženo leta 1947. S prvotno načrtovanega nekajmesečnega potovanja po Afriki
sta se z ženo zaradi zapletov vrnila šele čez 24 let. V tem času sta živela in delala
med afriškimi plemeni, kjer je Foit proučeval afriško umetnost in jo poustvarjal,
obenem pa zbiral razne predmete. V njegovi zbirki je tako zbranih veliko število
afriških mask, ki so jih ljudstva uporabljala predvsem pri obredih, pa tudi različna
glasbila in predmeti iz vsakdanjega življenja.
Po selitvi v Evropo sta se zakonca Foit preselila v Velenje, njuna zbirka pa je našla
svoje stalno mesto v muzeju na Velenjskem gradu, kjer predstavlja dragoceno
vsebino za vse obiskovalce muzeja in raziskovalce afriške umetnosti.
V letu 2012 bodo v Muzeju Velenje predstavili javnosti tudi zelo redke diapozitive
na steklu, ki jih je za potopisno predavanje posnel Foit na svojem prvem
potovanju leta 1931. Tako bodo lahko obiskovalci videli in občudovali posnetke,
ki so bili dolga leta skriti pred očmi javnosti.
Velenje, Velenje Museum
African Collection of František Foit
The museum houses the remarkable collection of African art brought to Slovenia by
the Czech artist and sculptor František Foit. On his two journeys through Africa, he
traversed the continent from north to south. He was sent on his first trip by the university
in Prague. His mission was to elaborate anthropological images of the members
of African tribes. He set off on his second journey around Africa with his wife in 1947,
inspired by his encounters with African culture. Owing to complications, 24 years would
pass before he and his wife returned from their originally planned trip of a few months.
During this time they lived and worked among African tribes, where Foit studied African
art, reproduced it and at the same time collected a variety of objects. In this way his
collection accumulated a large number of African masks, which the local people used
mainly in rituals, as well as various musical instruments and everyday objects.
After moving back to Europe, the Foits settled in Velenje, and their collection found a
permanent home in the museum at Velenje Castle, where it represents an invaluable
resource for all visitors to the museum and students of African art.
In 2012 Velenje Museum will also be showing the very rare glass slides taken by Foit
on his first trip in 1931 for a travel lecture. In this way visitors will be able to see and
admire photographs that have long been hidden from public view.

Ljubljana, Galerija Jakopič, do 18. marca
Jože Suhadolnik: Album –
»Neue Slowenische Kunst«
Razstava 59 črno-belih fotografij Jožeta Suhadolnika prinaša specifičen vpogled v delovanje
umetniških skupin (Laibach, Irwin, Gledališče Scipion Nasice, Rdeči Pilot, Noordung …), združenih
pod skupnim pojmom »Neue Slowenische Kunst«. Kot je ob razstavi zapisala Marija
Skočir, vodja Galerije Jakopič in kustosinja, razstava ne želi v historičnem smislu reinterpretirati
fenomena NSK kot umetniškega gibanja, temveč ponuditi intimnejši vpogled v dokumentirane
dogodke in izpostaviti fotografu lastno komunikacijo s posameznimi akterji kot individuumi, ki
jih sicer determinirata kolektivna drža in način delovanja.
Razstava in knjiga z naslovom Album se namenoma distancirata od kakršnekoli obravnave
NSK kot umetniškega gibanja, političnega ali ideološkega koncepta, predmeta filozofskih razprav
ali umetnostnozgodovinskih kritik, družbenega pojava, fenomena, kulta. NSK obravnavata
kot motiv.
Album želi intrigirati, ne provocirati. Želi prezentirati, ne komentirati. Želi sporočati, ne ilustrirati.
Kliče k odzivu in se ne želi odzivati. Ponuja doživljanje vizualnega trenutka tukaj in zdaj
– iskanje svetlobe v plemenitosti črnine, barvitosti v črno-belem, intime v javnosti, individualnega
v kolektivnem – skratka tistega, kar drugo brez prvega pravzaprav ne more obstajati.
Naslov Album izvira iz avtorjevega odnosa do fotografij, ki jih desetletje potem, ko je gibanje
prenehal dokumentirati, vidi z distance, osebe na njih pa zdaj brez filtriranja skozi svoj objektiv
– presenetljivo – vidi kot družino. Sicer z nenavadnimi »družinskimi« vrednotami in nekonvencionalnimi
vezmi. Kot krog ljudi, ki si drug drugega niso izbrali, temveč jih je združila nujnost (v tem
primeru predvsem umetniškega) obstoja. Kot skupnost, ki je popolna enota samo kolektivno in je
brez posameznega člana bistveno okrnjena. Suhadolnik sam ni nikoli sledil gibanju kot privrženec
ali ga dokumentiral zato, da bi ga čez desetletja videli kot eneskajevskega somišljenika.

Ljubljana, Jakopič Gallery, until 18 March
Jože Suhadolnik: Album - Neue Slowenische Kunst
This exhibition of 59 black and white photographs by Jože Suhadolnik offers a singular insight into the
working of the artistic groups (Laibach, Irwin, Sisters of Scipio Nasica Theatre, Red Pilot, Noordung
and more) united under the common label Neue Slowenische Kunst. Jakopič Gallery director and
exhibition curator Marija Skočir explains that the exhibition does not set out to reinterpret the NSK
phenomenon as an artistic movement in the historical sense, but rather to offer a more intimate insight
into documented events and showcase the photographer’s own communication with the people
involved as individuals who are otherwise determined by a collective stance and method of operation.
The exhibition and book project Album intentionally distances itself from any kind of treatment of
NSK as an artistic movement, a political or ideological concept, a subject of philosophical discussion
or art history criticism, a social phenomenon or cult. It deals with NSK as a motif.
Album seeks to intrigue, not to provoke. It seeks to prevent, not to comment. It seeks to communicate,
not to illustrate. It calls for a response but does not wish to respond. It offers an experience
of a visual moment here and now – seeking light in the nobility of black, colour in black-and-white,
intimacy in public, the individual in the collective – in short, combinations where one cannot exist
without the other.
The title Album derives from Suhadolnik’s relationship with the photographs, which now, a decade
after he stopped documenting the movement, he sees from a distance, and he sees the people in
them now, through his lens and without any filtering – surprisingly – as a family. One, that is, with unusual
“family” values and unconventional ties. Like a circle of people that did not choose each other,
but were brought together by existential necessity (in this case mainly artistic). Like a community that
is a complete unit only collectively and is seriously compromised when an individual member is missing.
Suhadolnik himself never followed the movement as someone involved in it, and neither did he
document it so that decades later he could be seen as a NSK adherent.

Predstavitev knjige
Nejc Trošt:
Chase for Space
Nejc Trošt spada med tiste ljudi, ki živijo izven okvirja. Ljubezen do letalstva
je povezal z oblikovanjem, se spogledal z vesoljsko arhitekturo, poskušal
abstraktno vedo spremeniti v realnost in decembra 2011 izdal knjigo Chase for
Space. Trošt meni, da je arhitektura transdisciplinarna znanstvena veda. »Današnje
vesoljske postaje so konglomerat strojev, ki znanstvenikom omogočajo
bivanje in raziskovanje v izjemno skromnih razmerah. Turistom, ki bodo potovali
na bodoče vesoljske hotele, moramo ponuditi bolj ekstrovertiran ambient,
pomemben je pogled navzven, na Zemljo in zvezde. Kreiranje za bodoče vesoljske
turiste, civiliste v breztežnosti, bo postavilo neka nova pravila oblikovanja
prostora. Še bolj bodo pomembni psihologija, ergonomika, svetloba, fizična
aktivnost in ne nazadnje vonj, sluh in otip materialov. Arhitekt bo moral vse te
faktorje združiti v smiselno celoto. To je naša naloga tudi na zemlji,« so njegove
besede.
Knjiga Chase for Space govori o fenomenu vesoljskih komercialnih poletov in
njegovih vplivih na arhitekturo. Navdih zanjo je dobil, ko je spoznal sodobna
pionirja vesoljskih poletov, Burta Rutana in Sira Richarda Bransona, ki ga je
lani poleti povabil na otvoritev spaceporta v Novi Mehiki. Profesor Peter Gabrijelčič,
dekan Fakultete za arhitekturo in njegov mentor, ga je označil za inženirja,
filozofa in norca, ki hodi izven okvirov.
Zato nič nenavadnega, da nosi njegova diplomska naloga naslov Idejni projekt
za potniški terminal – kozmodrom na letališču Edvarda Rusjana v Mariboru. Kozmodrom
in letalski center, ki ga je zasnoval, bi po njegovem spravila mariborsko
letališče na svetovni zemljevid. To ne bi bil samo kozmodrom, ampak predvsem
promocijski center vesoljskih in letalskih tehnologij ter stičišče idej različnih
strok. Letalstvo je postalo neke vrste rutina, avtobus današnje dobe in
vesoljski podvigi bi ponovno privabili množice na letališča.
Book presentation
Nejc Trošt: Chase for space
Nejc Trošt is one of those people who live outside the box. He has combined a
love of flying with design, flirted with outer space architecture, and attempted to
turn abstract science into reality. In December 2011 he published the book Chase
for Space. Trošt believes that architecture is a trans-disciplinary science. “Today’s
space stations are a conglomerate of machinery that enables scientists to live
and research in extremely difficult conditions,” he writes. “Tourists travelling to
future space hotels will need to be offered a more extroverted setting, and it is
important to have an outward view, of the Earth and the stars. Creating for future
space tourists, who will be weightless civilians, will establish certain new rules for
designing spaces. Even more importance will be given to psychology, ergonomics,
light, physical activity and also of course the smell, sound and touch of materials.
The architect will have to merge all these factors into a logical whole. This is also
our task on Earth.”
Chase for Space talks about the phenomenon of commercial space flights and
their influence on architecture. He gained his inspiration for this when he met the
modern-day pioneers of space flight, Burt Rutan and Sir Richard Branson, who invited
him last year to the opening of Spaceport America in New Mexico. Professor
Peter Gabrijelčič, dean of the Faculty of Architecture and his mentor, calls him an
engineer, a philosopher and a madman who takes the road less travelled.
It is no surprise, then, to learn that his degree thesis bears the title Conceptual
design for a passenger terminal and cosmodrome at Edvard Rusjan Airport
in Maribor. The cosmodrome and flight centre that he designed would, in his
opinion, put Maribor Airport on the world map. This would not merely be a cosmodrome
but, primarily, a promotion centre for space and aviation technology and
a meeting point for ideas from various professions. Aviation has become a kind
of routine affair, the bus of the modern age, and space exploits would once again
draw crowds to airports.

Muzej sodobne umetnosti Metelkova
Več kot petnajst let potem, ko je Moderna galerija dobila v uporabo eno izmed stavb v nekdanji vojašnici na
Metelkovi, so končno odprli Muzej sodobne umetnosti Metelkova, novo enoto Moderne galerije. V MSUM-u je
našla stalni dom zbirka sodobne umetnosti (nacionalna in mednarodna zbirka Arteast 2000+) s pripadajočim
razstavnim programom. Na lokaciji na Metelkovi so tudi nekateri skupni strokovni oddelki razširjene institucije:
dokumentacija, knjižnica in restavratorska delavnica. Novi muzej so odprli z dvema razstavama: Sedanjost in prisotnost
– izbor del iz zbirke Arteast 2000+ in nacionalne zbirke Moderne galerije – ter Muzej afektov v okviru projekta
Internacionala*; slednji združuje dela štirih pomembnih evropskih muzejev: Moderne galerije Ljubljana, Museu
d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) iz Barcelone, Van Abbemuseum iz Eindhovna in Museum van Hedendaagse
Kunst iz Antwerpna (M HKA).
Poleg otvoritvenih razstav so v MSUM-u na ogled tudi posebni projekti, med njimi Povezave. Te so bile koncipirane
in oblikovane v sodelovanju z umetnico Apolonijo Šušteršič in vključujejo tudi knjigarno Depo (v sodelovanju
s študenti arhitekture). V pritličju so tudi: e-flux video rental (EVR) – donacija umetnikov Antona Vidokleja in
Juliete Aranda –, ki je bil zasnovan kot video arhiv, prostor za projekcije in brezplačna izposojevalnica videov, na
vhodnih vratih pa risba mednarodno uveljavljenega romunskega umetnika Dana Perjovschija Leta 1990 smo govorili
o svobodi, zdaj govorimo o denarju, 2011, ki analizira pojav borbe za preživetje v umetnosti.
Ljubljana
Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova
More than 15 years after the Moderna Galerija, Slovenia's national museum of modern art, was granted the use of
one of the buildings of the former army barracks on Metelkova, a new unit of the museum, called the Museum of Contemporary
Art Metelkova (MSUM), has finally opened its doors. The museum's contemporary art collection (comprising
the national collection and the international Arteast 2000+ collection) and related exhibition programme have found a
permanent home in the MSUM. Some of the shared technical departments of the enlarged institution (the documentation
department, the library and the restoration workshop) are also based at the Metelkova site: The new museum
opened with two exhibitions: The Present and Presence, a selection of works from the Arteast 2000+ collection and the
Moderna Galerija's national collection, and Museum of Affects, which is part of L'Internationale*, a project that brings
together works from four major European museums – the Moderna Galerija in Ljubljana, the Museu d'Art Contemporani
de Barcelona (MACBA) in Barcelona, the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen
(M HKA) in Antwerp.
In addition to these inaugural exhibitions, a number of special projects are on view at the MSUM: Connections, conceived
and designed in collaboration with the artist Apolonija Šušteršič and incorporating the Depo bookshop (in collaboration
with architecture students). On the ground floor of the museum there is also an installation entitled e-flux
video rental (EVR), donated by the artists Anton Vidokle and Julieta Aranda and originally conceived as a video archive,
a screening room and a free video rental service. The entrance to the museum features a drawing by the internationally
acclaimed Romanian artist Dan Perjovschi entitled In 1990 we talked about freedom, now we talk about money (2011),
a work that analyses the phenomenon of the struggle for survival in art.

Tabor Hall, 24 February at 8 pm.
2CELLOS
Cellists Luka Šulić (Slovenia) and Stjepan Hauser (Croatia) are acclaimed musicians
who have been playing the cello since childhood. Maribor will certainly enjoy
an unforgettable evening in the company of this sensational string duo, which
also retains a hint of local flavour.
Large Hall of SNG Maribor, 24 March at 7.30 pm.
Zagreb Philharmonic and Ivo Pogorelić
The Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra boasts a 140-year tradition and is one of the
most important cultural ambassadors for Croatia. The Russian conductor Dmitrij
Kitajenko has followed his win at the Karajan Competition in Berlin with brilliant
performances and has conducted several prestigious orchestras. The great pianist
Ivo Pogorelić is now a synonym for the music of Chopin.

Warhol: Naslovi
Od 11. februarja do 13. maja
MMK je iz mednarodnih zbirk prvič
zbral vseh osemdeset del Andyja
Warhola, na katera so vplivali sodobni
tabloidi in druga sredstva
množičnega obveščanja. Slike, risbe,
grafike, fotografije, kipi in videi
osvetljujejo umetnikovo nepozabno
obravnavo ambivalentnega značaja
in senzacionalizma sodobnih medijev.
Warhol, eden najpomembnejših
umetnikov dvajsetega stoletja, je
zlasti v šestdesetih letih prejšnjega
stoletja usmeril pozornost na vsakdanje
subjekte popularne kulture ter
zbiral odrezke in fotografije iz dnevnih
časopisov, filmskih prospektov
in reklamnih letakov. Ukvarjanje s
tiskanimi mediji ima osrednje mesto
v njegovem umetniškem ustvarjanju
in se v tej razstavi prvič izčrpno
predstavlja ter primerno vrednoti.
Njegovo zanimanje je bilo usmerjeno
ne le k neskončno ponovljivim
mehanizmom sredstev množičnega
obveščanja, ampak tudi k samim poročilom
s svojimi kričeče oblikovanimi
naslovi, katerih cilj je oblikovanje
javnega mnenja.
Manchester, Manchester Art Gallery
Stalna zbirka
Galerija je najbolj znana po izjemni
zbirki britanskih slik iz devetnajstega
stoletja. Zastopana je večina največjih
umetnikov, vključno z velikimi
predrafaeliti (Dante Gabriel Rossetti,
John Everett Millais in William Holman
Hunt). Največja mojstrovina
Forda Madoxa Browna Work (Delo),
ki je navadno razstavljena v Predrafaelitski
galeriji, je splošno priznana
za glavno ikono viktorijanske dobe.
V galeriji so razstavljene tudi znane
slike Edwarda Coleya Burne-Jonesa
in Johna Williama Waterhousa ter
slike zgodovinskih, literarnih in sodobnih
subjektov Frederica Lorda
Leightona in Williama Powella Fritha.
München, Neue Pinakothek
Georg Stubbs
Do 6. maja
Angleški slikar živali George Stubbs
(1724–1806) je najvidnejši predstavnik
tako imenovane »športne
umetnosti«, ki je dosegla svoj vrhunec
v osemnajstem stoletju zaradi
naraščajočega navdušenja nad konjerejo,
dirkami in lovom, s katerimi
se je ukvarjal premožni višji razred.
Njegovo delo obsega zlasti portrete
čistokrvnih konjev in njihovih jahačev
ter portrete psov in lovske prizore. S
tenkočutno uravnoteženimi in včasih
drznimi kompozicijami je razvil klasičen
slog z uporabo subjektov, ki jih je
v celoti črpal iz sodobnega življenja.
V anglosaksonskem svetu je George
Stubbs dolgo veljal za enega
največjih umetnikov svojega časa
in skupaj z Williamom Hogarthom
ter Thomasom Gainsboroughom za
najpomembnejšega umetnika osemnajstega
stoletja. Neue Pinakothek,
ki ima prvovrstno zbirko angleških
slikarjev iz osemnajstega in devetnajstega
stoletja ter se ponaša z edino
sliko Georga Stubbsa v Nemčiji,
je pripravila njegovo prvo razstavo v
celinski Evropi.
Zürich, Kunsthaus Zürich
Yüksel Arslan »Artures«
Do 9. aprila
Do nedavnega je bil turški umetnik
Yüksel Arslan (rojen leta 1933, živi
in dela v Parizu) širši javnosti skoraj
neznan. Leta 1962 je zapustil domovino
in se preselil v Pariz; v svojem
stanovanju ustvarja na vizualnem
področju s pomočjo sprejemanja
kulturne, sociološke, filozofske in
umetnostne literature. Razstava v
züriški Kunsthalle prvič predstavlja
izbor več kot 200 del, ki so nastajala
od leta 1959 naprej zunaj Turčije,
osredotočena pa je na tako imenovane
»Artures«, dela na papirju, ustvarjena
z unikatno tehniko s posebnimi
barvami. Tematsko prežema njegovo
delo soočenje z odnosom med mislijo
in misticizmom, med mitom,
znanostjo in vizualnimi umetnostmi
ter filozofskimi, literarnimi in glasbenimi
tokovi.
Dunaj, MUMOK
Claes Oldenburg; Šestdeseta
Do 2. septembra
Claes Oldenburg (rojen leta 1929
v Stockholmu na Švedskem) ni le
eden največjih umetnikov pop arta,
umetnosti performansa in instalacijske
umetnosti, ampak ima skupaj s
Coosje van Bruggen s svojimi monumentalnimi
spomeniki v številnih večjih
mestih po svetu tudi močan vpliv
na umetnost na javnih prostorih.
S humornim in globokim prikazom
vsakdanjih predmetov je eden najpomembnejših
in najbolj priljubljenih
umetnikov od konca petdesetih let
prejšnjega stoletja naprej. V središču
njegovega dela so tudi industrijsko
izdelani predmeti – predmeti za
vsakdanjo rabo, ki se v vedno novi
preobrazbi medija in oblike prelevijo
v prenašalca kulture ter simbol domišljije,
želja in obsedenosti sodobnega
sveta.
MUMOK je s tem organiziral največjo
razstavo Oldenburgovih inovativnih
in simbolnih zgodnjih del iz šestdesetih
let prejšnjega stoletja.
Istanbul, Muzej Dogançay
Muzej Dogançay, prvi muzej moderne
umetnosti v Turčiji, je uradno
odprl svoja vrata javnosti leta 2004.
Postavljen je v zgodovinsko petnadstropno
zgradbo, staro 150 let, v
središču živahnega okrožja Beyoğlu
v Istanbulu in ponuja splošen pregled
majhnega dela bogatega opusa
Burhana Dogançayja, enega vodilnih
turških umetnikov. Ta mini retrospektiva
pokriva pet desetletij Dogançayjevega
umetniškega razvoja.
Začenja se z zgodnjimi figurativnimi
slikami in zaključuje s stenskimi deli
ter fotografijami. V eni sobi muzeja
je razstavljeno delo njegovega očeta,
Adila Dogançaya.
Dogançay je v zgodnjih petdesetih
letih prejšnjega stoletja preživel večji
del študentskih let v Parizu, kjer je
hkrati študiral umetnost na akademiji
de la Grande Chaumiere ter pravo
in ekonomijo na Univerzi v Parizu.
Burhan Dogançay je znan predvsem
po svojem delu, ki ga je navdahnila
prevzetost nad mestnimi stenami.
Humlebæk, Louisiana, Muzej

Andreas Gursky
Do 13. maja
Z vizualno dovršenostjo predstavljajo
dela nemškega fotografa Andreasa
Gurskyja, ki so osredotočena na
obširno, fascinantno moč podobe,
sodoben predlog, kaj bi lepota lahko
bila. Fotografije Andreasa Gurskyja
so odgovor umetnosti na »ekstremne
športe«. Njegova dela so plod
neskončno veliko ur prizadevanj,
kako preplesti na stotine fotografij,
narejenih z najsodobnejšo opremo,
pogosto s skrajnih položajev, v eno
podobo.
Razstavljenih je okoli 40 velikih
fotografij in številna manjša dela, ki
jih je ustvaril svetovno znani fotograf
Andreas Gursky (rojen leta 1955
v Leipzigu, živi v Düsseldorfu). Več
kakor dvajset let že dela s fotografijami
velikega formata, ki ustrezajo
velikim, skladnim podobam slik in
prepričujejo gledalce, da se s tehnično
dovršeno fotografijo približujejo
realnosti.
Razstava prikazuje celotno delo
Gurskyja do najnovejših fotografij,
ki jih je predstavil jeseni v umetniški
galeriji Gagosian Gallery v New
Yorku, in omogoča gledalcu sledenje
preobrazbam in preobrazbenim možnostim
podob v obdobju več kakor
dveh desetletij.

Warhol: Headlines
From 11 February to 13 May
For the first time, the MMK is bringing
together from international collections
all of the eighty Andy Warhol
works influenced by contemporary
tabloids and other mass media. The
objects shown – paintings, drawings,
prints, photographs, sculptures, and
videos – shed light on the artist’s
memorable treatment of the ambivalent
character and sensationalism
of contemporary media. During the
1960s in particular, Warhol – one
of the most important artists of the
twentieth century – directed his
attention towards trivial subjects
from popular culture, collecting clippings
as well as press photos from
daily newspapers, film booklets, and
handbills. His preoccupation with
the printed media occupied a prominent
place in his artistic production
and is now for the first time being
comprehensively examined and appropriately
appreciated through this
exhibition. His interest was directed
not only towards the endlessly reproducible
mechanisms of the mass
media, but also the opinion-shaping
news reports themselves, with their
luridly formulated headlines.
Manchester, Manchester Art Gallery
Permanent Collection
The gallery is best known for its outstanding
collection of 19th-century
British paintings. Most major artists
are represented, including the great
Pre-Raphaelites Dante Gabriel Rossetti,
John Everett Millais and William
Holman Hunt. Ford Madox Brown's
masterpiece Work, usually on display
in the Pre-Raphaelite Gallery, is
widely acknowledged to be a key icon
of the Victorian age.
The gallery also contains popular
paintings by Edward Burne-Jones and
John William Waterhouse, and paintings
of historical, literary and contemporary
subjects by Frederic, Lord
Leighton and William Powell Frith.
Munich, Neue Pinakothek
Georg Stubbs
Until 6 May
The English animal painter George
Stubbs (1724-1806) is the most
prominent representative of 'sporting
art', a genre that reached its peak
in the 18 th century as a result of
the growing enthusiasm for horsebreeding,
racing and hunting, as an
occupation for the prosperous upper
classes. His ouevre largely consists
of portraits of thoroughbred horses
and their riders, portraits of dogs and
hunting scenes. With his subtly balanced
and sometimes bold compositions,
Stubbs developed a classical
style using subjects derived entirely
from contemporary life.
In the Anglo-Saxon world, George
Stubbs has long been regarded as
one of the greatest artists of his time
and, alongside William Hogarth and
Thomas Gainsborough, as the most
important artist of the 18 th century.
The Neue Pinakothek, which has a
first-rate collection of English painting
from the 18 th and 19 th centuries and
boasts the only painting by George
Stubbs in Germany, is staging the first
exhibition dedicated to this artist to
be held on the Continent.
Zurich, Kunsthalle Zürich
Yüksel Arslan "Artures"
Until 9 April
Until recently, Turkish artist Yüksel
Arslan (born 1933, lives and works in
Paris) remained almost unknown to
the broader public. He left his homeland
in 1962 and went to live in Paris,
where he has worked ever since
on a visual oeuvre by and through
the reception of cultural, sociological,
philosophical and artistic literature
in his apartment. The exhibition at
Kunsthalle Zürich presents, for the
first time outside Turkey, a selection
of over 200 works created since
1959 and focuses on the so called
Artures, works on paper using a
unique technique with special paints.
Thematically, the work is permeated
by a confrontation with the relationship
between thought and mysticism,
between myth, science, and visual
arts, and philosophical, literary and
musical currents.
Vienna, mumok
Claes Oldenburg; The Sixties
Until 2 September
Claes Oldenburg (* 1929, Stockholm,
Sweden) has not only been a major
artist in the pop art, performance art
and installation art movements but,
in partnership with Coosje van Bruggen,
also a strong influence on art in
public spaces with his monumental
Large Scale Projects in numerous
major cities worldwide. With his
humorous and profound depictions
of everyday objects he is one of the
most important and admired artists
since the late 1950s. One central
point of reference in Oldenburg’s
oeuvre is the industrially produced
object – the object as a commodity
which, in ever-new metamorphoses
of media and form, becomes a conveyor
of culture and a symbol of the
imagination, desires, and obsessions
of the modern world.
Organized by the mumok, this is
the largest show ever of Oldenburg’s
groundbreaking and emblematic
early work from the 1960s.
Istanbul, The Dogançay Museum
The Dogançay Museum, Turkey’s
first modern art museum, officially
opened its doors to the public in
2004. It is housed in a historic
150-year-old five-storey building
located in the heart of the bustling
Beyoğlu district of Istanbul and provides
a general overview of a small
portion of the prolific oeuvre of Burhan
Dogançay, one of Turkey’s leading
artists. This mini-retrospective
spans five decades of Dogançay’s
artistic evolution starting with his
early figurative paintings up to his
wall-inspired works as well as photographs.
One room of the museum
showcases the work of his father,
Adil Dogançay.
During the early 1950s Dogançay
spent a significant part of his student
years in Paris studying art at the
Académie de la Grande Chaumière
while simultaneously pursuing his
studies in law and economics at the
University of Paris. Burhan Dogançay
is primarily known for a body of work
that grew out of his fascination with
urban walls.
Humlebæk, Louisiana Museum of
Modern Art
Andreas Gursky
Until 13 May
With their visual mastery, the works
of the German photographer Andreas
Gursky insist on the vast, fascinating
power of the image and stand as
a modern proposal for what beauty
may be. Andreas Gursky’s photographs
are art's answer to 'extreme
sports'. His works grow out of hours
of effort interweaving hundreds of
pictures taken with the most sophisticated
equipment, often from extreme
positions, into one image.
The exhibition shows around 40
giant photographs and a number
of smaller works created by the
world-famous photographer Andreas
Gursky (b. 1955 in Leipzig and living
in Düsseldorf). For more than twenty
years he has worked with largeformat
photography that matches the
large, composed pictures of painting
and seduces viewers into believing
that, with the technically perfect photo,
they have come close to reality.
The exhibition spans the whole of
Gursky’s oeuvre up to the very latest
photographs presented this autumn
at the Gagosian Gallery in New
York – and thus gives the viewer the
opportunity to follow the transformations
and transformative power of
the images over the course of more
than two decades.

Kaj nam pripoveduje vidra
Besedilo: Meta Krese Fotografije: Jaka Adamič
( 28 )
Na Lutri, Inštitutu za ohranjanje naravne dediščine,
kjer biologinja Marjana Hönigsfeld
Adamič dela kot raziskovalka (pravzaprav
ga je tudi ustanovila), delajo ta hip na projektu LIFE Živa
voda ‒ od biodiverzitete do pipe. Strašansko zanimiva
tema, a kaj ko naša sogovornica že leta in leta spremlja
življenje vidre pri nas. Tako je v pogovoru nehote prevladala
skrivnostna žival, ki jo večina med nami pozna zgolj
po risbah in fotografijah. Mogoče pa vendarle nismo zelo
grešili: Kar je dobro za vidro, je dobro za človeka, namreč
meni Marjana Hönigsfeld Adamič.
Felicita Kalinšek je v Slovenski kuharici za postne dni svetovala kvašeno
vidro. Ali to pomeni, da je bilo v drugi polovici 19. stoletja, ko je
kuharica prvič izšla, veliko vider ali pa se je avtorica zgolj bala, da njena
kuharica ne bo dovolj zanimiva, če ne bo poskrbela za mesne požrtije
tudi ob postnih dneh
Knjiga Kalinškove je res stara zadeva, moram pa reči, da je Cankarjeva založba
pri njeni dvajseti jubilejni izdaji leta 1985 še vedno ohranila recepte
za pripravo vidre, divjega petelina in še za marsikatero v naravi ogroženo
žival. Vidra je tako kot vse živali, ki so prihajale iz vode, veljala za postno
jed, ki si jo je privoščila predvsem duhovščina. Vider je bilo takrat več, še
vedno pa jih ni bilo veliko.
Vidra živi samotarsko in več, kot jih prenese določeno okolje, jih ne
more biti. Vsaka vidra potrebuje 15 do 20 dolžinskih kilometrov vodotoka
za pokrivanje svojih življenjskih potreb. Ampak nekoč so bile vode še dokaj
naravne – ne govorimo o onesnaženju, ampak o ekomorfološkem stanju
– in niso bile regulirane. Vidra je imela dovolj možnosti, da se je skrila,
naredila brlog za mladiče … Ni je bilo lahko ujeti, tako da lov ni bil množičen.
Manjkajočo je nadomestila nova in populacija se je obnavljala, dokler
so jih lovili s pastmi. Ko pa je postalo orožje bolj sofisticirano, so izginile.
Čista voda postaja strateška dobrina, vidra pa je njena prerokinja, pravite
na vašem inštitutu, ki nosi njeno znanstveno ime Lutra. Kateri nauk
razširja vidra, česa nas uči
Kaj nam pripoveduje vidra je večkrat tudi naslov naših delavnic. Vidra je
ambasadorka ohranjenih vodnih ekosistemov; predstavnica ima prijeten
videz in prijetno podobo; je karizmatična vrsta, zato lahko z njo pritegnemo
tudi otroke. Prijazna je, ima okrogel obrazek in majhna ušesa,
tako kot medvedki. Ampak vedno opozarjam, da je to lepotica, ki ima
tudi svojo zversko naravo. To je zver v pravem pomenu, torej plenilec
in na vrhu prehranskega spleta. Na vsak način pa je to živalska vrsta, ki
nam pripoveduje zgodbo o ohranjenih vodah ali pa o neohranjenih, če
je tam ni.
Torej ni izginila zaradi onesnaženih voda
Ne, zaradi lova. To velja tudi za nekatere druge živali, zlasti za plenilce.
Tudi risa so iztrebili z lovom.
Po drugi svetovni vojni, v času velike industrializacije, ko se je tudi
kmetijstvo intenziviralo, pa se je okolje tako poslabšalo, da si ni več
uspela opomoči. Leta 1973 so se lovci odločili, da jo zavarujejo; od leta
1976 pa se je sploh ne sme več loviti. Po letu 2000 se je populacija že toliko
popravila, da se vrača v nekdanje habitate.
Kje jo najdemo danes v Sloveniji
Mislim, da je še vedno najmočnejša populacija na severovzhodu, torej na
Goričkem, sploh v Prekmurju, v zadnjem času pa se vrača tudi drugam.
Tudi na Cerkniškem polju je.

( 29 )
Ali jo lahko naključni sprehajalci opazimo
Ponavadi je tako, da je tisti, ki jo ciljno čaka, ne dočaka. Vsa opazovanja
so naključna. Prideš in je slučajno tam.
Najbrž pa vseeno ni pošteno, da bi se z vami, ki ste ustanoviteljica inštituta
za ohranjanje naravne dediščine, pogovarjali samo o vidri Gotovo
delate še kaj drugega …
Naše delovanje smo razširili na vidrin življenjski prostor, torej na
vode. Tu pa je dela več kot dovolj. Ukvarjamo se z okoljskimi poročili,
vendar ostajamo bolj ali manj pri vodah. Pri ciljnih živalih pa postaja v
zadnjem času zanimiv bober, ki je tudi že pred stoletji izginil iz zahodne
in osrednje Evrope. Na Hrvaškem so v letih od 1996 do 1998 ponovno
naselili evrazijske bobre v Posavini (Sava, Drava) in v zadnjih letih
prodira ta vodna žival proti nam. Prišel je po Savi in zavil takoj levo v
Krko. Zdaj pa je že na Muri in Dravi, kjer že lahko opazimo oglodana in
podrta drevesa.
Svoje pripadnosti Muri ne skrivate. Pri izkazovanju naklonjenosti do
Save ste včasih precej ostri tudi do strokovne javnosti.
Še vedno imam v omari zelen Murin plašč, ki sem ga nosila pred več kot
20 leti v akciji za ohranjanje Mure, ko so začeli govoriti o elektrarnah na
tej reki. Potem je ta ideja potihnila in zdaj je ponovno aktualna. Zdaj pa
tudi strokovno sodelujemo pri presoji, kje naj bi stale, če sploh bi. Mislim,
da lahko prav tu naredimo največ. Dravske elektrarne so začele na
pravem mestu. Skupaj z drugimi organizacijami smo zbrali bazo podatkov,
iz katere lahko marsikaj presodijo. Zagovarjamo stališče, naj gradijo
elektrarne tam, kjer je Mura že večinoma regulirana in ni več v naravni
rečni strugi. Le če uspejo znotraj gradnje elektrarne narediti boljše okoljsko
stanje, kot je, naj mogoče zgradijo kakšno hidroelektrarno.
In Sava
Nihče se ne zmeni za Savo, čeprav je naša osrednja vodna žila; več kot polovica
Slovenije spada v porečje Save. Hidroelektrarne gradijo brez vsakih
ribjih, kaj šele drugih stez. Že zdaj je katastrofa, a narejen je tudi plan, po katerem
naj bi bilo na srednjem odseku Save še devet hidroelektrarn. Po naročilu
Holdinga Slovenske elektrarne smo delali v skupini za inventarizacijo in
naši rezultati govorijo, da je Sava naravovarstveno izredno pomembna. Zavarovanim
vrstam, ki tam živijo, ne smemo poslabšati življenjskih razmer. Z
gradnjo elektrarn pa bi habitate vsekakor poslabšali ali celo uničili. Ampak
ko gre za velike posege, prevlada tako imenovani nacionalni interes.
Pri Muri je interes za ohranjanje star in pravzaprav tradicionalen. Za
Savo še nisem slišala, da bi kdo rekel o njej v tem smislu kaj dobrega. Nekako
ni pripadnosti tej reki.
Dijaki murskosoboške Ekonomske srednje šole so opravili anketo med
prebivalci Prekmurja o tem, katera je prepoznavna žival v Prekmurju.
Večina ljudi je postavila vidro pred štorkljo. Je to »krivda« vašega inštituta
in vašega Aqualutra centra
Verjetno. Vidra je bila daleč na prvem mestu …
Evropska komisija je leta 2004 odobrila financiranje štiriletnega projekta
LIFE - NATURA z naslovom Ohranjanje populacije vidre na Goričkem, ki
ga je zasnoval naš inštitut, prijavila pa osrednja gorička občina, Gornji
Petrovci. S projektom smo končali, ostal pa je center Aqualutra.
Projekt smo razdelili na dva večja sklopa: v prvem so bile akcije, direktno
namenjene izboljševanju vidrinega življenjskega okolja, v drugem pa
izobraževalne in ozaveščevalne akcije, skratka delo z ljudmi.
Vidra je torej izgovor …
Vidra je povezovalka. Vse se začne in konča pri njej. No, vsaj pri nas.

What does the
otter tell us
Text: Meta Krese Photography: Jaka Adamič
The staff of the Lutra Institute for the Conservation
of Natural Heritage, where the biologist Marjana
Hönigsfeld Adamič works as a researcher (she is
actually also the institute’s founder), are currently
working on a LIFE project called Live water – from
biodiversity to the tap. An extremely interesting
topic, but given that our interviewee has spent
years following the life of the otter in Slovenia, the
conversation is inevitably dominated by this mysterious
creature which the majority of us only know from
drawings and photographs. This is not necessarily a
bad thing: What is good for the otter is good for human
beings, believes Marjana Hönigsfeld Adamič.
Clean water is becoming a strategic advantage, and the otter is its
prophet – according to the Lutra Institute, which bears the animal’s
scientific name (Lutra lutra). What message does the otter have for us
What does it teach us
“What does the otter tell us” is actually a frequent title of our workshops.
The otter is the ambassador of preserved aquatic ecosystems. A representative
with an attractive appearance and a friendly image; it is a charismatic
species, which means we can also use it to attract the interest of children.
It is a friendly animal with its little round face and small ears like those of
a teddy bear. I always warn people, however, that this beautiful creature
also has a wild nature. It is a carnivore in the true sense of the word, meaning
that it is a predator and that it is at the top of the food web. Be that as
it may, the otter is an animal that tells us the story of preserved waters –
or of unpreserved waters, if there are no otters around.
Felicita Kalinšek, the author of the famous cookery book Slovenska kuharica,
recommended marinated otter as a suitable Lenten dish. Does
this mean that in the second half of the 19 th century, when this cookery
book first appeared, there were many more otters, or was she simply
afraid that her book would not be sufficiently interesting if she did not
provide some meaty treats even for days of abstinence
Felicita Kalinšek’s cookery book is very old, although it must be said that
the publisher Cankarjeva Založba retained the recipes for otter, capercaillie
and many other endangered species for the jubilee twentieth edition of the
book in 1985. Like all animals that come from water, the otter was considered
a suitable dish for fast days, eaten above all by members of the clergy.

There were more otters than today, although their number was still not
great. The otter lives territorialy, so there cannot be more of them than a
given environment can support. One otter needs 15–20 kilometres of watercourse
to meet its survival needs. In the late 19th century Slovenia’s waters
were still fairly natural – we are not talking about pollution but about the
ecomorphological state – and they were not regulated. The otter had sufficient
opportunities to hide, to build a holt for its cubs, and so on. Otters
were not easy to catch, so hunting remained on a small scale. If an otter disappeared
from the habitat it was replaced by a new one and the population
renewed itself, at least while otter hunting was limited to trapping. When
firearms became more sophisticated, the otters disappeared.
So they did not disappear as a result of water pollution
No, it was because of hunting. This also applies to certain other animals,
particularly predators. Hunting also caused the lynx to become
extinct.
After the Second World War, a time of great industrialisation which
also saw the intensification of farming, the environment deteriorated
so badly that the otter population was no longer able to recover. In 1973
hunters decided to protect the otter, and there has been a total ban on
otter hunting since 1976. Since 2000 the population has recovered to
such an extent that the otter is now returning to its former habitats.
Where are otters found today in Slovenia
I believe that the strongest population is still in the north-east, in the
Goričko area and in the Prekmurje region in general, while recently the otter
has also been returning elsewhere. It is also found on Cerkniško Polje.
Can we see otters when out walking in the countryside
Most often if you deliberately set out to see them you will be disappointed.
Sightings are a matter of chance. Sometimes you arrive somewhere
and an otter just happens to be there.
It is probably not fair of me to ask you only about otters, given that you
are the founder of an institute dedicated to the conservation of natural
heritage. I am sure you are involved in lots of other things…
We have expanded our work to include the otter’s habitat, in other
words water. There is more than enough work here. We deal with environmental
reports but continue to focus more or less on the water environment.
Among our target animals, the beaver has recently begun to
interest us. This is another animal that disappeared from western and
central Europe centuries ago. Eurasian beavers were reintroduced to the
Sava river basin region (Sava, Drava) in Croatia between 1996 and 1998
and in recent years they have been penetrating into Slovenia. Beavers
came up the Sava and immediately turned left into the Krka. Now they
can be found along the Mura and the Drava, where we are already observing
trees that have been gnawed and felled by beavers.
I still have in my wardrobe the green Mura cape that I wore more than 20
years ago during the campaign to conserve the Mura, when power stations
on the Mura were being discussed. That idea later petered out, but now
it is topical again. Now we are among the experts involved in deciding
where such power stations should be sited if they decide to built them. I
believe that this is where we can achieve the most. The Company Dravske
elektrarne Maribor began in the right end of the stick. In collaboration with
other organisations, we compiled a database which facilitates the decisionmaking
process in many regards. Our position is that power stations
should be built where the Mura is already largely regulated. This is not a
natural riverbed. If they succeed in improving the state of the environment
as part of building a power station, then perhaps they should also build
some hydroelectric plants.
And the Sava
Nobody cares about the Sava, even though it is our principal water artery;
more than half of Slovenia belongs to the Sava river basin. Hydroelectric
dams are built without fish passes, let alone passages for other
animals. Even now it is a catastrophe, yet a plan has been drawn up to
build a further nine hydroelectric plants on the middle section of the
Sava. We were commissioned by Ljubljana-based power company HSE
to take part in an inventory group, and our results show that the Sava is
extremely important from the point of view of nature conservation. We
must not worsen the living conditions of the protected species that live
there. There is no question that building power stations would damage
or even destroy habitats. And yet whenever major developments are involved,
the so-called national interest prevails.
In the case of the Mura, interest in conservation is long-established
and actually traditional. I have yet to hear anyone saying anything positive
in this sense about the Sava. Somehow this river does not enjoy the
same support.
The students of the Secondary School of Economics in Murska Sobota
recently conducted a survey among the inhabitants of Prekmurje to find
out what animal was identified most closely with the region. The majority
placed the otter ahead of the stork. Is this the fault of your institute
and the Aqualutra centre you have set up
Probably. The otter was a clear winner...
In 2004 the European Commission approved funding for a four-year
LIFE-NATURA project called Conservation of the otter population in Goričko
which was designed by our institute and submitted by the municipality
of Gornji Petrovci, the main municipality in the Goričko area. The
project is now finished, but the Aqualutra centre is still there.
We divided the project into two major sections. The first included
campaigns directly aimed at improving the otter’s habitat, while the second
consisted of educational and informative activities, in other words
working with people.
( 31 )
You make no secret of your fondness for the Mura. In showing your support
for the Sava you are sometimes quite critical of other members of
the expert community.
So the otter is just an excuse...
The otter is what links it altogether. Everything begins and ends with
the otter. At least for us it does.

Bil je prijeten julijski večer, sedeli smo okrog velike mize v petsto let
stari hiši na Steeping Stone Farm prav tam nekje na sredi Anglije
blizu Leicestera, prebavljali večerjo in premlevali avtomobilsko dirko
starodobnikov, ki jo je The Vintage Sports – Car Club (VSCC) minulo nedeljo
organiziral v bližnjem Mallory Parku. Beseda je tekla okrog dirkalnikov,
voznikov in seveda obveznih tračev, povezanih z njimi, dokler ni gospa Harvey
prerezala niti pogovora. Morda je celo s pestjo udarila po mizi, karkoli že,
v trenutku je že držala vajeti v svojih rokah: »Vintage gor ali dol, v Angliji
premoremo tudi še kaj drugega kot avtomobile in vsak dan bolj natlačene
avtomobilske ceste.« Kot gost sem iz vljudnosti pokazal zanimanje za novo
iztočnico, kar je povsem zadoščalo. »Vožnja po kanalih je neprimerno bolj
sproščujoča, navdihujoča in sploh romantična,« je odločno pribila gospa Harvey.

Čez dva dni sem na Steeping Stone Farm prejel pismo na
svoje ime. V njem je bil kratek pozdrav in izrezek iz časopisa
Leicester Mercury s člankom o Foxtonskih zapornicah
(Foxton Locks). Kratek prispevek, podprt z romantično
ilustracijo v črnem tušu, je bil dovolj, da sva s Stephenom kakšen dan
kasneje nekaj milj oddaljene zapornice zares obiskala. Za vožnjo sva
porabila morda dobre pol ure. Nasploh poteka dandanes potovanje tako
hitro, da mu ne gre več pripisati večje vrednosti. Kar je nekoč trajalo
tedne in mesece in leta, danes bolj ali manj izmerimo v urah. Izhodišče
potovanja nam je domače in ga imamo navadno že čez glavo, cilj potovanja
bolj ali manj površno spoznamo, tisti tisoči kilometrov, ki ločijo
obe točki, nas ne zanimajo. A je takole shemo sploh moč resno poimenovati
potovanje Slikovite zapornice se nahajajo sredi polj, tako da jih
opaziš, ko si se že zaletel vanje. Če se jim približaš, kot je treba, torej po
kanalu, deluje stvar bolj prepričljivo, in če si jih kot popotnik prisiljen
uporabiti, je vse skupaj že na nivoju pravega potovanja. Deset vodnih
zapornic, zgrajenih okrog leta 1812, premaguje višinsko razliko kakih
štirideset metrov. Pred izgradnjo zapornic so plovila spravljali s spodnje
na zgornjo raven in obratno po tračnicah na brežini med spodnjim in
zgornjim bazenom, kar pa je bilo precej bolj zamudno. Zapornice so
široke le dobra dva metra, zato so primerne le za dviganje in spuščanje
ozkih čolnov – »narrow boats«, ki pa tako ali tako kraljujejo po kanalih
širom britanskega otočja. Proces dviganja ali spuščanja je svoj čas trajal
kakšno uro in v zlatih časih kanalskega transporta je morala biti tam
prava gneča. Dandanes je postopek krajši, čakalne dobe pa znajo biti zlasti
v poletnih, počitniških mesecih kar zajetne in birt v pubu ob vznožju
zapornic si veselo mane roke.
V času, ko so zgradili foxtonske zapornice, je bil transport po vodnih
poteh v Britaniji na vrhuncu. Z njim so zelo pospešili pretok vsakovr-

in večinoma klavrnih cestnih povezav. Kapitalizem je bil od nekdaj
naklonjen vsem novitetam, ki so obetale večanje dobička, in ta motor
deluje brez prestanka še danes, pravzaprav divja s tako naglico, da ga
očitno lahko ustavi samo vseobča kataklizma. Silni napredek je v deželi
zasnoval »železno cesto« in tako, kot je nekoč odklenkalo konjskim
vpregam, je kasneje odklenkalo tudi vodnim kanalom. Še kasneje so
z »železno cesto« pometle avtomobilske ceste in dandanes se po njih
širom otočja valijo neskončne reke pločevine. Slovita londonska obvoznica
M 25 je zagotovo ena najprometnejših cest na svetu.
Dobri stari Jerome Klapka Jerome je posadil svoje tri može, da o psu niti
ne govorimo v čoln na Temzi, dogodivščine pa ne bi bile nič manj sijajne,
če bi jih namestil v kak »narrow boat« in jih poslal po kanalih. Danes je
tovrstno potovanje predmet zabave. Precej priljubljene zabave, zato je
okrog kanalov vedno živahno. Če dobičkov ne kuje blagovni transport,
jih pobira turistična industrija. Kanali preživljajo številne gostilne,
prenočišča, hotelčke, izposojevalce ladjic, vzdrževalce plovil, mehanike
in kleparje … So pa tudi ljudje, ki na teh plovilih preživljajo velik del svojega
življenja ali pa jih imajo za bolj ali manj premične počitniške hišice.

It was a pleasant July evening, as we sat around the big table
in the five hundred-year-old house at Stepping Stone Farm, just
about in the centre of England, close to Leicester. We were relaxing
after dinner, ruminating on the vintage car race organised
the previous Sunday by the Vintage Sports-Car Club (VSCC) in nearby
Mallory Park. The talk was of the racing cars, the drivers and of course
the obligatory gossip associated with them, until Mrs. Harvey cut off
the conversation. It might even have been her fist banging on the table,
but whatever it was, she quickly took up the reins: “Vintage or not, in
England we’ve got a bit more than just cars and roads choked up more
and more every day.” As a guest, out of politeness I showed an interest
in this new fount of information, and that’s all she needed. “Travelling
by canal is incomparably more relaxing, inspiring and generally more
romantic,” tub-thumped Mrs. Harvey decisively.
Two days later a letter addressed to me arrived at Stepping Stone
Farm. It contained a brief greeting plus a cutting from the Leicester
Mercury with an article on Foxton Locks. The brief article, embellished
with a romantic black ink illustration, was enough to send Stephen and
me off a day or so later on a visit a few miles away to the locks. It took
perhaps just over half an hour to get there. But nowadays travelling is
always such a matter of speed that it has lost much of its value. What
used to take weeks and months and years is now measured more or less
in hours. The starting point for a journey is familiar and we’ve usually
had as much as we want of it, we know the destination more or less
superficially, and those thousands of kilometres separating them don’t
interest us. Can this set-up really be called travelling The picturesque
Nowadays this kind of travel
is pursued for fun.

locks are in the middle of a field, so you notice them once you’re already
upon them. If you approach them in the proper way, via the canal, they
are a little more convincing, and if as a traveller you need to use them,
now you’re starting to do some real travelling. There are ten locks that
serve to overcome the elevation difference of some 40 metres, and they
were built around 1812. Before the locks were constructed, vessels were
hauled from the lower to the upper level and back by a winch system on
the slope between the lower and upper pools, but this was very timeconsuming.
The locks are only a bit over 2 metres wide, so they are only
suited to raising and lowering what are called narrow boats, barges that
have in one way or another reigned over the canals across the British
Isles. This process of raising or lowering took around an hour, and in
the golden age of canal transport things could get quite crowded. These
days the procedure is shorter, but waiting times, especially in the summer
holiday months, can be lengthy, and the landlord in the pub at the
bottom of the locks gleefully rubs his hands together.
At the time the Foxton Locks were built, transport by waterways
in Britain was at its apex. The canals greatly boosted the flow of all
manner of goods around the country, which had previously depended
chiefly on horse carts and the rather indifferent roads. Since the earliest
times, capitalism has favoured any novelty that promised higher
profits, and this engine is still going tirelessly today, in fact it is racing
ahead with such speed that clearly only some general cataclysm can
stop it. An unstoppable advance came to the country in the form of the
“iron road”, and just as the horse carts once stopped clanking along, the
waterways also went quiet. Later on, roads for cars swept away the “iron
road”, and nowadays endless rivers of metal flow across Britain. The
famous M25 London orbital motorway is certainly one of the busiest
roads in the world.
Good old Jerome K. Jerome set his Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing
of the Dog) in a rowing boat on the Thames, but the events would
be no less enthralling if they were placed on a narrow boat and sent off
on the canals. Nowadays this kind of travel is pursued for fun. In fact
very popular fun, so it’s always lively around the canals. And if goods
transporters aren’t making a profit here, the tourist industry is. The canals
are home to numerous pubs, B & Bs, small hotels, boat renters, boat
maintenance shops, mechanics and fitters. And there are also people
who spend a large part of their lives on these boats, or in fact use them
as more or less movable holiday homes. Narrow, long and enchanting,
whether or not they actually head off down the waterway.

Pogorja, ki so se že davno rojevala kot
gube v starikavem obrazu matere
Zemlje, še preden je Triglav dobil
ime, so v vznožju svojih strmih sten ustvarila
zadnje in prvo zatočišče – jezero kristalno
čistih voda – samo zato, da se v dnevih,
nočeh in jutrih časa spogledujejo sama s sabo
v svetlem odsevu vodnega ogledala. Naravne
sile so v milijonih let izrezbarile presežek
lepote, ki ni enakomerno posejana; a v tisto
dolino, napojeno z vodami visokih snegov, se
je ugnezdila in navkljub najbolj vztrajnemu
škodljivcu še vedno preprosto – je.

Sveti kraji slovanskega poganstva in eden izmed njegovih
grobov. Svetost ali temu podoben občutek so imeli tudi tisti
pred Slovani, ki so zašli na konec sveta. Ta konec sveta napaja
veličasten slap Savica, ki je naše prednike gotovo spravil na kolena,
vratove upognil in iz sklonjenih glav izvabljal glasove, iz katerih se
je kasneje izvila molitev. Prišli so do konca sveta. Naprej se ni le dalo,
bilo je celo prepovedano. V stenah in na visokih belih vrhovih so prej
bivala božanstva, ki so se jih vsaj bali, če jih že niso spoštovali. Zgoraj
so še dolgo v naš čas prebivali duhovi. Pri vsej lepoti, ki so jo našli
utrujeni popotniki, ni niti najmanj nenavadno, da so se že zdavnaj
naselili na rodovitne lehe zemlje. Bivanje človeka je v tisočletjih
zahtevalo opazovanje in pretanjen posluh za naravo, da sta lahko v
sožitju dočakala današnje čase oba: prelepa narava in človek. Napake,
ki jih je storil, so bile kaznovane, ne od božanstev, narava je od nekdaj
poskrbela, da zločini proti njej ne utonejo v pozabo jezerskih voda,
ki same pišejo svojo zgodovino. Skale, ki so jih oblikovale vode, pa
sporočajo kamnite zgodbe večnosti. Jezera, poležena v tihe doline
visokih planin, ter ledeniki in snegovi napajajo po zemeljskih žilah
veliko planjavo vode, ki v tihih urah pomirja pozornega opazovalca
in mu skozi megličast pogled prinaša tolažbo in upanje. Razrvan,
od nenehnega hrupa načet sodobnik se z lahkoto spusti v tolmune,
ki ga mimogrede očistijo, zgladijo, obrusijo, in samopodoba je nato
nekaj časa lepša. Prostor in njegovi skriti kotički (in iskanje le-teh
je pravi užitek) delujejo po vseh zakonih svetišč in za vstop vanje je
potrebne vsaj malo pobožnosti, če že ne ponižnosti. Biti ponižen
pred večnostno igro vseh menjav, ki jih premoreta tema in svetloba,
pa ni neprijetnost, je korak naprej, naprej, gor, v višave, proti soncu,
med zvezde. Jezero in odsevi v njem pa so v vseh letnih in dnevnih
časih neponovljivi v enem človeškem življenju, ponovitve so mogoče
le v večnosti. Sodobnež, ki zaide v ta sakralni objekt narave, se lahko
potem, ko spozna strani neba in pot sonca onkraj visokih gora,
potaplja v hladne vode, prepojene z vzorci iz zemljine mladosti. Ni več
strahu pred vrhovi, bogovi ne živijo več tam, in z vztrajnim, krepkim
korakom jih lahko temeljito prepoten doseže slehernik. Kakšni so cilji
premagovanja strmin, pa je zelo osebna zadeva pohodnika. Hoditi,
Je mir, je tišina, je odmevov
tisoč, ki iz enega zvoka naredijo
simfonijo.
hoditi, preizkušati voljo in telo, dosegati cilje z lastno silo. Na strmih
poteh med gozdovi, najprej bukovimi pa vse do orjaških smrek visoko
gori, ki so vsega spoštovanja vredni organizmi. Mravljišča, orjaška, le
še tam visoko, visoko, čim dalj stran od škodljivca. Je mir, je tišina, je
odmevov tisoč, ki iz enega zvoka naredijo simfonijo. Zakaj riniti gor,
gor Se soočati s samim sabo ter si odkrito in brez zamere do kogarkoli
priznati majhnost. Sunki narave so tako siloviti, da je lahko lastna
neznatnost tolažilna, pred masivi lahko molimo ali kriče preklinjamo.
Tihi lazi in planine vračajo večglasen odmev. Rastline se spreminjajo,
lepe rože, znane s fotografij, dišeči travniki, mrzle noči, sneg sredi
poletja pa vedno drugače modro nebo, ki je kot orjaško filmsko
platno, na njem pa so glavni igralci oblaki, ki so včasih tako šaljivi, da
opazovalca silijo v smeh. Vse to lahko stori popotnik tudi zato, da se
vročega poletnega dne potem potopi v jezero – in telo bo vriskalo od

ugodja. Smučišče gosti smučarje pozno v pomlad. Na smučeh se lahko
teče kjerkoli, prav tako kolesari, če pa to človek počne v skoraj deviški
pokrajini, se užitek poveča, saj od obilice dobrega zraka diha bolj zares
in različna čutila se bolj odprejo. Ribiči hvalijo določene predela voda
kot ribiški raj. Veslači različnih plovil se ob tabornih ognjih hvalijo s
svojimi drznimi podvigi. Alpinisti in turni smučarji tiho in neopazno
izginjajo v stenah. Nabiralci gob, zelišč in plodov se lahko plazijo med
grmi. Videl sem razigrane angleške lovce na metulje, kako so uživali in
se čudili našim veščam. Ne vem, če se to sme. Stik z naravo se išče (ni
nujno, da se ga najde) v naravi – in tukaj okoli je je na pretek.

Bohinj –
Light and Water
of Millennia
Text: Zlatko Zajc Photography: Janez Bogataj
The mountain ranges that were born long ago as wrinkles
on the ancient face of Mother Earth, even before Triglav got its
name, created the last and first haven at the feet of their steep
walls – a lake of crystal-clear water – just so that in the days, nights and
mornings of time they could gaze at themselves in the bright reflection
of the watery mirror. Over millions of years, natural forces carved out a
surplus of beauty, which is not evenly distributed; but it came to nestle
here in this valley, fed by water from high snows, and despite the most
persistent force of harm it still simply – is.
Sacred places of Slovene paganism, and one of its graves. A sense
of the sacred or a similar feeling was experienced by those before the
Slavs who had come to the end of the world. This end of the world is fed
by the majestic Savica waterfall, which undoubtedly inspired our forebears
to fall on their knees, bow their heads and conjure up voices from
which later evolved prayers. They had come to the end of the world. It
was not just impossible to go further, it was even forbidden. The rock
faces and high white peaks were surely inhabited by deities, which they
at least feared, if they did not respect them. Up above, long into our
times, dwelt spirits. Amidst all the beauty found by the tired wayfarers,
it is not in the least bit surprising that long ago they settled the fertile
plots of land. Over the millennia, human existence has demanded observation
and a finely tuned sense of nature, in order for coexistence
to allow the survival to the present day of both: nature in its beauty
and humankind. The mistakes made by humans were punished, but
not by the gods, for since the earliest times nature has made sure that
crimes against her do not drown in the oblivion of the lake’s waters,
which write their own history. Meanwhile the rock faces, which have
been shaped by water, tell the stony story of eternity. Lakes nestling in
tranquil valleys between high mountains, and glaciers and snow, feed
through the veins of the earth a great plain of water, which in silent
hours calms the watchful observer and through the foggy view brings
him solace and hope. The shattered victim of the modern age, plagued
by constant noise, slips easily into pools that cleanse him, smoothe and
burnish him, and for a while after this his self-image is finer. This space
and its hidden nooks (and seeking them out is a treat in itself) function

y all the laws of a holy place, and in order to enter you need at least a
little reverence, if not humility. And being humble towards the eternal
play of changes provided by darkness and light is no great imposition, it
is a step forward, onward, upward, to the heights, toward the sun, to the
stars. Throughout the seasons and daytime the lake and its reflections
are unique for one human life, and repetitions are only possible in eternity.
The modern person wandering into this sacred structure of nature
may, once he knows the points of the compass and the path of the sun
beyond the high mountains, plunge into the cool waters that are shot
through with patterns from the Earth’s youth. There is no longer a fear
of the peaks, the gods no longer live there, and with persevering, strong
steps, anyone can sweat their way up. As to the particular goals of conquering
the heights, that is the very personal affair of the hiker. Hiking,
hiking, testing one’s will and body, achieving objectives through one’s
own strength. Up the steep trails among the forests, first through beech
and then all the way to gigantic spruces higher up, organisms worthy
of our utmost respect. Anthills, gigantic ones, just high, high up there,
as far away as possible from harmful forces. There is peace, silence and
thousands of echoes making a symphony out of one voice. Why press
upwards, upwards To come face to face with oneself and to admit,
openly and without offence to anyone, one’s smallness.

There is peace, silence and
thousands of echoes making a
symphony out of one voice.
The convulsions of nature are so powerful that our own insignificance
can be a consolation, and before the massifs we can pray or bow down
as we cry out. Quiet clearings and mountain pastures return manyvoiced
echoes. The plants change, beautiful flowers we know from photographs,
fragrant meadows, cold nights, snow in the middle of summer
and the ever-different blue sky, which is like a giant film screen, its leading
characters the clouds, which are at times so playful they force the
observer into laughter. The wayfarer might also do all this so on a hot
summer’s day he can plunge into the lake – and his body will shudder
with delight. The skiing ground hosts skiers late into the spring. Crosscountry
skiers can get anywhere, as can cyclists, and if you do this in
a virtually virgin landscape, the pleasure increases, since you take in
more serious breaths of the abundant good air, and various senses in
you are opened up more. Anglers praise certain parts of the water as
a fisherman’s paradise. Rowers of various craft boast of their bold exploits
around the campfire. Climbers and ski tourers vanish quietly and
unobserved into the rock faces. People out picking mushrooms, herbs
and fruits can crawl about in the bushes. I saw some overjoyed English
butterfly hunters admiring and marvelling at our moths. I’m not sure if
that’s allowed. Contact with nature is sought (no obligation to find it) in
nature – and around here it’s overflowing.

obnovljivi vir energije
Brez vode ni življenja! Voda je nosilec vsega fizičnega
življenja na Zemlji. Ima svojo energijo,
frekvenco, spomin, informacijo ... Slovenija
ima veliko srečo. Njena lega med Alpami in Jadranskim
ter nekdanjim Panonskim morjem napreda matrico
manjših ekosistemov z visoko stopnjo samočistilne
sposobnosti. Slovenske vode so še vedno zdrave in
slovenski potoki še skrivajo ribe, rake, školjke in druge
vodne organizme. Pitna voda je dostopna domala povsod,
saj so njeni studenci čisti in kot dragocene perle
razpršeni skoraj povsod.
Voda, obnovljivi
vir energije
Vodna energija je najpomembnejši obnovljivi vir energije na našem
planetu. Voda, ki se zavrtinči skozi vodno elektrarno, je del naravnega
vodnega cikla, ki ga poganja sonce. Vodna energija, ki se v hidrocentralah
spremeni v električno, tako postane obnovljivi vir brez prevelikega balasta
za okolje. Poleg tega vodna energija, ki nadomešča ostale načine pridobivanja
električne energije, do 10% zmanjšuje emisije toplogrednih plinov.
Tako postane način pridobivanja elektrike »čist obnovljivi vir« (tako kot
tudi veter, bibavica, valovanje ter sončna in geotermalna energija – poleg
gorljivih obnovljivih virov iz biomase ter mestnih in lesnih odpadkov ...)
ter s tem prijazen življenju in naravi.

Voda kot osnova
turizma
Brez vode ni življenja! In ob tolikšnih pojavnih oblikah vodá, kot jih
najdemo v Sloveniji, te kar vabijo, da jih spoštljivih korakov obiščeš in iz
njih piješ zdravje, lepoto in energijo. Dajejo nam kakovostno in radostno
življenje in prav zato postaja Slovenija kot velik vodni rezervoar in kraljestvo
voda prava paradna turistična vodna destinacija planeta Zemlja.
Voda je vir življenja, vir sprostitve, zdravja, doživetij, preživljanja prostega
časa in vračanja energije, zato je v Sloveniji najmočnejši turistični
atribut, ki napleta bogato pahljačo pojavnih oblik voda. Pahljača slovenskih
naravnih kulis, brez katerih ni turizma, se začne in konča z vodo! V
Sloveniji ji lahko nadenemo izjemno število pridevnikov, kot so: sladka,
slana, površinska, podzemna, presihajoča, stoječa, tekoča, padajoča, mirna,
zdravilna, termalna, mineralna ... In potem dodajamo še vodne posebnosti,
kot so: soline, mrtvice, zaganjalniki, lokve, kali, obrhi, kraški izviri
in kraške ponikalne reke, ki se sredi kraškega sveta nenadoma pojavijo in
prav tako izginejo (najlepši primer je reka Ljubljanica, ki se kar sedemkrat
pojavi na površini in je poetično poimenovana kot reka sedmih imen:
Trbuhovica, Obrh, Stržen, Rak, Pivka, Unica in Ljubljanica), podzemna
jezera, po katerih se je moč voziti s čolnom, pa visokogorska barja, jezero
z otokom, poplavni travniki ter gozdovi in drugo. Ne nazadnje pa je voda
izklesala celo naše veličastne in svetovno znane podzemne – kraške jame:
Postojnsko jamo in Škocjanske jame (28. 11. 1986 vpisane na UNESCO-v

Without water there is no life! Water is the carrier
of all physical life on Earth. It has its own energy, frequency,
memory, information… Slovenia is very fortunate.
Its position between the Alps, the Adriatic and
the prehistoric Pannonian Sea, long since dried up, creates a matrix of
small ecosystems with good self-cleaning capability. Slovenia’s waters
are still healthy and Slovenia’s streams still conceal fish, crustaceans,
molluscs and other aquatic organisms. Drinking water is accessible practically
everywhere: springs are pure and scattered like precious pearls
over almost the entire country.
Water, a renewable
source of energy
Hydropower is the most important renewable energy source on our
planet. The water that passes through a hydroelectric power plant is
part of the natural water cycle driven by the sun. Water energy, which
is transformed into electricity in hydroelectric power stations, thus
becomes a renewable source without an excessive impact on the environment.
Not only that, but when hydropower takes the place of other
forms of electricity generation, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by
up to 10%. This method of generating electricity thus becomes a “clean
renewable source” (alongside wind power, tidal power, wave power and
solar and geothermal energy – as well as combustible renewable sources
using biomass, municipal waste, wood waste, etc.) which is friendly to
life and nature.
Water as the basis
of tourism
Water is the source of life, the source of relaxation, health, adventure,
recreation and the restoration of energy. In Slovenia, where water is
present in all its forms, it is therefore the country’s biggest tourism
attribute. Slovenia’s rich range of natural settings, without which tourism
would not exist, begins and ends with water! Many adjectives can

( 53 )
be applied to water in Slovenia: fresh, salt, surface, subterranean, intermittent,
standing, running, falling, still, healing, thermal, mineral...
And then we can add special water-related features such as: saltworks,
backwaters, intermittent springs, ponds, pools, gushing springs and
underground rivers that suddenly appear in the middle of the karst
landscape and then disappear again (the best example is the Ljubljanica,
which appears on the surface seven times and is poetically known
as the River of Seven Names: Trbuhovica, Obrh, Stržen, Rak, Pivka, Unica
and Ljubljanica), underground lakes that can be crossed by boat, peat
bogs high in the mountains, a lake with an island, flood meadows and
flooded forests, and so on. Last but not least, water is even responsible
for carving out Slovenia’s magnificent, world-famous karst caves: Postojna
Cave and the Škocjan Caves (the latter inscribed on the UNESCO
World Heritage List on 28 November 1986).
Without water there is no life! And with waters present in Slovenia in
so many different forms, they call out to us to visit them with respect,
and to draw health, beauty and energy from them. They give us quality
of life and fill us with joy, and thus Slovenia, like a giant reservoir and
kingdom of water, is becoming a showcase water tourism destination
for the planet Earth. A

Posebnosti
nočnih metuljev
( 54 )
Nočno življenje, ki nam je v glavnem skrito, je v
svetu žuželk zelo pestro. Mnoge vrste z nočjo
oživijo, ker si tako povečajo možnosti preživetja,
čez dan pa so pritajene v skrivališčih. Večina plenilcev
lažje zazna premikajoči se plen v dnevni svetlobi,
ponoči pa v mnogih primerih vid odpove in se plenilci
poslužujejo drugih načinov lova plena: netopirji z zaznavanjem
plena z odbojem ultrazvoka, mali sesalci pa
z vohom ali razvitim nočnim vidom, tako kot nekateri
ponoči aktivni ptiči, katerih glavna prehrana so žuželke.
Besedilo: Stanislav Gomboc Fotografije: Anja Čop
Med nočno aktivne žuželke štejemo tudi metulje,
čeprav jih precej lahko občudujemo čez dan. Od 3.600 v
Sloveniji poznanih vrst jih je 3.300 aktivnih ponoči. Od
ostalih 300 podnevi aktivnih vrst je le 184 pravih dnevnih
metuljev, ki jih poznamo po lepih pisanih krilih. Ker se klima in z njo živi
svet ves čas spreminjata, se stalno spreminja tudi pri nas živeča favna
metuljev. Tako nekatere vrste izginjajo, druge prihajajo k nam po naravni
poti ali pa kot slepi potniki na dobrinah, s katerimi trgujemo med
državami in celinami.
Kljub razmeroma dobremu pregledu favne slovenskih metuljev doslej
pri nas še vedno najdemo veliko novih vrst, ki jih dozdaj na našem
ozemlju še nismo poznali. Približno vsako drugo leto je tudi iz Slovenije
opisana kakšna nova vrsta za znanost, nazadnje leta 2010 z imenom
Caryocolum skulei Huemer & Karsholt, ki spada k travniškim moljem. Povsem
novo obdobje nam trenutno odpirajo molekularne metode, s katerimi
proučujemo genetsko raznolikost oz. sorodnost vrst; na ta način smo
ugotovili veliko število za znanost novih vrst, ki jih strokovnjaki v tako
kratkem času, kot jih omogočajo metode, niso sposobni opisati. Za opis
nove vrste je namreč potrebnega veliko časa za proučitev vse doslej poznane
literature o že opisanih vrstah ter tipskega in sorodnega materiala
v svetovnih muzejskih in privatnih zbirkah.
Metulji, še posebej nočni, so veliki specialisti prikrivanja. Ker ti podnevi
počivajo, se ne morejo aktivno izogibati plenilcem, zato z barvnimi
vzorci do potankosti posnemajo okolico, s katero se zlijejo v najmanjše
podrobnosti. Barvni vzorci so odvisni od podlage in okolice, kjer počivajo
čez dan. Tudi drža kril v mirovanju in nekateri dodatni izrastki na
telesu še dodatno prispevajo k boljši kamuflaži. Oblika vzorcev in telesa
sta odvisni od plenilcev in okolice, ki jo posnemajo.
Predniki metuljev so vodne žuželke – mladoletnice. Ličinke teh živijo
v vodi, odrasle pa letajo in imajo s ščetinami porasla krila. Metulji, ki so
se razvili iz njih, so zasedli kopenske habitate (razen redkih izjem), ki so
zelo raznoliki, zato so potrebovali različnim podlagam prilagojene vzorce.
Metuljem so se v času prilagajanja na novo okolje ščetine spremenile
v drobne luske, ki kot strešne opeke prekrivajo krila in telo; vsaka teh

{ Z mislijo na naravo }
( 55 )

{ Z mislijo na naravo }
( 56 )
lusk je lahko različne oblike in barve. In prav tukaj leži fascinantnost
metuljev, ki so s to prilagoditvijo lahko zasedli najrazličnejše kopenske
habitate, saj so na krilih lahko oblikovali vzorce, ki jih zlijejo z okolico,
v kateri živijo. To se odraža tudi v pestrosti vrst, ki po številu močno
prekašajo mladoletnice. Poleg varovalnih pa so nekateri metulji tudi
izstopajočih – svarilnih barv, katerih namen je odvračanje plenilcev.
Vrste s svarilnimi barvami so lahko za plenilce dejansko strupene, druge
pa te vrste samo oponašajo in plenilci se jih ravno tako izogibajo. Tako
v naravi srečamo vrste, ki so si po genskem zapisu daleč narazen, po zunanjosti
pa jih domala ne moremo razlikovati. Za pretentanje plenilcev
izkoriščajo metulji različne strategije. Prilagoditve so v nekaterih primerih
tako izjemne, da do potankosti oponašajo celo druge skupine žuželk,
npr. ose.
Prikrivanje ni le lastnost odraslih metuljev in njihovih barvnih vzorcev,
ampak je ta strategija preživetja povezana z vsemi razvojnimi stadiji
metuljev. Samice izbirajo za odlaganje jajčec najprimernejše lege po
razpoložljivosti hrane in videzu. Že barva jajčec in način odlaganja sta
vezana na čim boljše zlitje z okoljem.
Gosenice metuljev se večkrat levijo, v povprečju 5 do 6-krat. Vsak razvojni
stadij gosenic je nekoliko drugačne barve in oblike in vsak izmed
teh je čimbolj usklajen s podlago, na kateri živi. Gosenica jadralca (Iphiclides
podalirius) se npr. povsem zlije z breskovim listom, na katerem se
hrani. Pri nočnih metuljih je veliko več posebnosti in izjem. Tako živijo
nekatere gosenice v steblih rastlin, celo dreves in grmovja. Ker so skrite
v rastlinah, se jim z obliko in barvo ni bilo potrebno posebej prilagoditi.
Največkrat so rumeno bele barve. Nekatere gosenice iz družin, ki so starejšega
izvora in bližje prednikom – mladoletnicam, še zmeraj gradijo
hiške iz delov rastlin, ki jih s svileno nitko spletejo v tulce. Svilo izločajo
gosenice iz predilne bradavice pod spodnjimi čeljustmi. V glavnem so
tudi gosenice nočnih metuljev zaradi boljšega preživetja aktivne samo v
nočnem času, čez dan pa se pritajijo na rastlinah ali se zavlečejo v tla.
Zaradi velikega števila vrst nočnih metuljev so se vrste razporedile po
različnih obdobjih leta in same noči, da se ne motijo pri parjenju in da je
za potomstvo na voljo dovolj hrane. Ene vrste se pojavljajo že v januarju
in februarju, druge pozno – v novembru in decembru. Večina vrst je aktivnih
v poletnih mesecih. Tudi v času noči poznamo večerne vrste, prave
nočne vrste in zgodnje jutranje, ki letajo tik pred jutranjim svitom. Po
številu vrst je slovenska favna metuljev zelo bogata, saj se po njej lahko
primerjamo z velikimi evropskimi državami.
Pri proučevanju nočnih metuljev se strokovnjaki poslužujemo različnih
metod in tehničnih pripomočkov, saj jih sicer ne bi opazili. Ker
tako kot njihove prednike – mladoletnice – tudi večino nočnih metuljev
privlači ultravijolična (UV) svetloba, si pri tem pomagamo s posebnimi
svetlobnimi vabami, v katerih je vir UV svetlobe. Ko metulji priletijo

( 57 )
na svetlobne šotorčke, jih tam v miru opazujemo ter popišemo vrste in
njihovo številčnost. Poleg svetlobnih vab uporabljamo za mnoge vrste
vonjalne vinske vabe ali feromonske vabe, ki so vrstno specifične in
privabljajo samčke – vsebujejo namreč privabilni vonj parjenja željnih
samic. Veliko vrst pa je še zmeraj potrebno iskati posamično, saj imajo
tako posebno obnašanje. Samčki vrečkarjev živijo npr. le nekaj ur. Pri
teh moramo za vsako vrsto posebej poznati čas (obdobje leta in dneva:
zjutraj, zvečer, ponoči) in kraj izleganja, da jih lahko opazujemo. Sicer jih
moramo gojiti v ujetništvu, kar je pogosto lažje kot njihovo opazovanje
na terenu. Mnoge vrste v naravi lažje opazimo po poškodbah (šiške,
izvrtine v listih, črvivost plodov …) kot po odraslih metuljih, ki so lahko
zelo majhni, živijo zelo kratek čas, so zelo lokalni ali pa letajo ob za nas
nenavadnih urah. Dejansko ima vsaka vrsta metuljev svoje posebnosti.
Tako proučevanje metuljev ni enostavno, a je nadvse zanimivo in nikoli
dokončano delo.

The Special World
of Moths
Text: Stanislav Gomboc
Photography: Anja Čop
( 58 )
Nightlife, something largely hidden from view, is rich
and varied in the insect world. Many species become active
in the night, since that increases their chances of survival,
and by day they are tucked away in their hiding spots. The
majority of predators can more easily spot moving prey in daylight, but
at night in many cases vision is useless, and predators use other means
of capturing prey: bats detect prey by ultrasound echo location, and
small mammals by smell or evolved night vision, just like certain nocturnal
birds, whose main food is insects.
Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) are predominantly nocturnal insects,
although there are many species that we can also admire by day. Of
3,600 species known in Slovenia, 3,300 are nocturnal. The remaining 300
species that are active by day include just 184 true daytime species or butterflies,
which we recognise by their brightly coloured wings. Since the climate
and the living world are constantly changing, the Lepidoptera fauna
that inhabit Slovenia is also changing continually. Some species are becoming
extinct, while others are arriving, by natural spreading of areals or
as stowaways in goods that we trade between countries and continents.
Despite the relatively well surveyed fauna of Slovenian butterflies and
moths to date, we are still coming across many new species previously
unknown in this country. About every two years some new species for
science is described from Slovenia, the latest being in 2010, with the
name Caryocolum skulei Huemer & Karsholt, a species of meadow moth.
An entirely new era is now opening up in terms of molecular methods,
with which we can study the genetic differences or similarities between
species. These methods have yielded the identification of a large number
of species that are new to science, and which experts have not yet been
capable of describing in the short time provided by the methods. In fact
a lot of time is needed to describe a new species, to study all the known
literature on species already described and to search for the type and related
material in world museums and private collections.
Lepidoptera are great specialists at camouflage, moths especially. Since
they rest by day, they cannot evade predators in any active way, so they
have colouring patterns that imitate every last detail of their surroundings,
into which they blend invisibly. Their colouring depends on the
background and surroundings where they rest by day. The poise of the
wings and certain added outgrowths on their bodies also enhance their
camouflage. The shape of the patterns and body depend on the predation
pressure and the surroundings they are imitating.
The ancestors of the Lepidoptera are aquatic insects - caddisflies or
Trichoptera. Their larvae live in water, but the adults fly and have bristly
wings. The Lepidoptera that evolved from them occupied land habitats
(with some rare exceptions) that are very heterogeneous, so they needed
patterns adapted to various backgrounds. In this period of adaptation to
the new environment, the bristles changed into tiny scales, which cover
the wings and body like roof tiles, and each of these scales could be a
different shape and colour. It is precisely this that makes butterflies and
moths so fascinating. They were able to adapt to the widest variety of
land habitats, because their wings could make patterns that blend with
the surroundings in which they live. This is also reflected in the diversity
of Lepidoptera species, which far outnumber the Trichoptera. In addition
to camouflage colours, some Lepidoptera also bear conspicuous warning
colours, intended to ward off predators. Species with warning colours
really can be poisonous for predators, while others merely imitate these
species, since the predators avoid the mimics, too. So we can encounter
species in the wild that are genetically far apart, but are almost indistinguishable
in terms of appearance. Lepidoptera use various strategies to
trick predators. In some cases, the adaptations are so extraordinary that
they even imitate in every detail other families of insects, such as wasps.
Camouflage is not just a feature of adult Lepidoptera and their colouring
patterns, but is a survival strategy linked to all their development
stages. For laying eggs, females select the most appropriate location in
terms of availability of food and camouflage. Even the colour of the eggs
and the way they are laid are associated with the best possible blend
with the surroundings.
Caterpillars shed their skin several times, on average five to six times.
Each development stage of the caterpillar involves a slightly different
colour and shape, and each is the best possible match for the background
in which it lives. The scarce swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius), for instance,
mimics perfectly the peach leaves on which it feeds. Moths involve many
more special features and exceptions. Some caterpillars live in the stems
of plants, even of trees and bushes. Since they are hidden in the plants,

( 59 )
they had no need to make any special adaptations of shape and colour.
They are mostly yellowish-white. Some caterpillars from families of older
origin and closer to their caddisfly ancestors, still build little refuges from
plant scraps, which they weave with silk into a casing. The caterpillars
produce silk from spinneret glands under their lower jaw. In general the
caterpillars of moths are usually active at night, to improve their chances
of survival, and by day they hide in plants or burrow into the soil.
Given the large number of moth species, they are distributed
over different seasons in the year and even different times
of night, in order not to disrupt the mating
of closely related species and to ensure
sufficient food for their offspring.
Some species even appear in January
and February, and others later
on, in November and December. The
majority of species are active in the
summer time. And the nocturnal species
themselves can be split into dusk, evening species, proper
night-time species and early morning species, which are
on the wing just before first light. Slovenia’s Lepidoptera
fauna is very rich in terms of number of species, and can compare
with much larger European countries.
In studying moths, experts use various methods and technical equipment
for spotting moths, as they have very varied behaviour. Since like
their ancestors the caddisflies, the majority of moths are attracted to
ultraviolet (UV) light, we can use special light traps that emit UV light.
When the moths arrive at the light tents, they are observed and identified
as they are resting on the tents. A checklist of species and their abundance
is recorded concurrently during the observation. In addition to
light traps, for many species we use odour wine baits or pheromone traps,
which are species-specific and attract males, since they contain the irresistible
sex pheromone odour of females ready to mate. Moreover many
species still need to be tracked individually, because they have such
species-specific behaviour. Males in the psychidae family,
for instance, live just a few hours. So for each
individual species we need to know
the time (period in the year and
day; morning, evening, night) and
location of hatching, to be able to observe
them. Otherwise they have to be
reared in captivity, which is often easier than
observing them in the field. Many species can
be observed more easily in nature by the damage
done on the host plants (galls, holes or other damage
on leaves, wormy fruit and so forth) than in terms of adult
specimens, which can be very small, and live a very short time, are very local
or fly at what are for us unusual hours. In fact each species of moth has
its own peculiarities. So studying moths is no simple matter, but for that
reason it is fascinating and never finished work.

Kaaita:
čisto pravcati originali
( 60 )
»150 dirhamov,« se ni pustil omajati trgovec na tržnici v Essaouiri.
»Madam, to je vendar kufi, pristno maroško pokrivalo!« me je prepričeval v nakup. »Veliko dela je bilo vloženega
vanj, samo poglejte si tole mojstrsko vezenje – prva klasa!«
Ja, resda je bil lep in bi mojemu svaku, zbiratelju klobukov, prav gotovo polepšal zbirko, a kaj, ko se mi ni ljubilo
barantati, cena (nekaj manj kot 15 evrov) pa se mi je tako in tako zdela prenizka.
Toda trgovec je, kakopak, vztrajal v lokalni tradiciji: »Dajte, recite neko cifro!«
»100« sem medlo odvrnila.
»Lepo vas prosim, no, to je ročno delo,« se je razburil in jel praviti o ovcah, ki jih je bilo treba postriči za prejo, o
ročnem, smrdljivem barvanju, mukotrpnem tkanju, bolečem vezenju …
Ni bilo treba dosti, da sem ugledala koščene prste
zgarane roke, ki nekje daleč sredi gorovja Atlas s takšnim
delom preživljajo celo družino. Ampak igro je treba odigrati
do konca, zato sem si še naprej poznavalsko ogledovala
ponujeni kos blaga.
Kdo ve, kako dolgo bi vse skupaj še trajalo, če ne bi v naslednjem hipu
v notranjosti pokrivala zapazila drobnega všitka s tremi izdajalskimi
besedicami: Made in China.
»Pa da ne boste mislili, da je pri nas kaj bolje,« me je nedavno opozorila
prodajalka v trgovini z domačimi spominki. »Kar oglejte si kakšne
naše ‘originale’! Še malo, pa bomo tudi panjske končnice in suho robo
uvažali iz Kitajske.«
Precej žalostno, sva se strinjali. In glasno tuhtali, kaj neki ponuja
Slovenija turistom poleg tistih nekaj oblikovalskih izdelkov, soli, vina,
sira ali oljčnega olja. S katerim podalpskim darom bi bilo lepo pospremiti
gosta Kje bi se dalo izbrskati kaj domiselnega, izvirnega, rokodelskega
…, pa naj bo za sorodnika, sodelavca ali soseda
Besedilo: Lora Power Fotografije: Miha Fras
Skoraj bi me že minilo jalovo potrošniško brbljanje, če ne bi nekdo
darežljivo zašepetal: »Kaaita.«
Nič kaj domač zven, sem se začudila, a sem se takoj zatem razveselila
pripisa na mehkem paru copat iz nekoč zavrženega puloverja: »Zašila
spretna roka nekje v Sloveniji.«
Še več: njihovo jato dobrot, kot ji rečejo, je porodilo opazovanje in spoštovanje
do narave, pozabljenih spretnosti, izzvale so jo neutrjene poti
in zagnanost tenkočutnih ljudi.
Ena takšnih je tudi Urška Hočevar, oblikovalka, ki s Kaaito snuje že
od samih začetkov.
Pravi, da sloni njeno delo, ne glede na medij ali končni izdelek, na
uravnoteženi zmesi principov trajnostnega oblikovanja, estetike, igrive
ustvarjalnosti in človeške topline.
»Moj osebni, predrzno ambiciozni cilj pa je, da je svet prejemnika izdelka
bolj prijeten z njim, kot bi bil brez njega.«
»Po moje moraš biti takšna oseba,« je pogovor o filozofiji malega,
okoljsko zavednega podjetja dopolnila njegova lastnica in ustanoviteljica,
ekonomistka Alenka Repič.
»V meni so stalno vrele neke ideje in tako sem prišla leta 2004 do firme,
ki je najprej počela vse živo, počasi pa sem iz nje izluščila res tisto
iskreno, kar izhaja iz mene.«

{ Z mislijo na naravo }
( 61 )

{ Z mislijo na naravo }
( 62 )
Tako je Kaaita sprva ponujala zgolj storitve, pred letom in pol pa so se
jim pridružili še izdelki.
Da na ledine vržeš seme, ki naj bi vzkalilo in vzbudilo zavest do ljudi
in okolja, moraš biti malo nor ali pa zelo optimističen, meni gospa
Alenka.
»Na srečo je pri meni prevladal optimizem,« se vedro zasmeji. »Ampak
rada bi, da ostanemo majhni in srčni – in to po moje ni neka huda
naloga.«
A toliko bolj pomembna.
»Z izdelki bi radi vzbudili pogled na svet, drugačen od brezsrčnega
kapitalizma, ki gleda samo na profit. Prav zato smo spisali manifest,
kjer jasno povemo, zakaj je naša šivilja toliko plačana, zakaj vztrajamo
pri slovenskih materialih in zakaj konkurence ne jemljemo kot grožnjo.«
Če povzamemo: vzamejo malo, ustvarjajo veliko. Izločajo nepotreben
odpad, zagovarjajo zmerno potrošnjo. Če se le da, se ognejo masovni
produkciji, zato častijo rokodelce in vse tisto, kar je narisano, izrezano,
sešito, prepognjeno ali sestavljeno spretno in strastno. Cene njihovih
izdelkov ne krijejo zamolčane škode ali umazanih tehnologij, so še pripisali,
dobavitelje pa izbirajo skrbno in plačujejo pošteno.
»Bo kar držalo,« je potrdila Renata Šoštar, šivilja iz predmestja Ljubljane,
ki na svojem starem pfaffu izdeluje Kaaitine mehke zverce –
majhne in velike žogice iz organskega bombaža, polnjene z oluščki pire
ali ajde in pomirjujoče sivke.
»Všeč mi je moja naročnica,« je zaupala gospa Renata. »Pa ne le zato,
ker ve, kaj hoče, ampak predvsem zato, ker spoštuje moje delo.« Pred
osmim leti je namreč prav zaradi nespoštljivega šefa zapustila redno
službo in šla na svoje.
Njej je delo za okoljsko zavedno podjetje všeč; po godu so ji »te nore
stvari«, kot jim reče. Toda bržkone je oblikovanje tovrstnih izdelkov
velik izziv za oblikovalce.
»Navkljub novim tehnologijam in čedalje širši izbiri ekoloških materialov
na trgu oblikovanje okoljsko zavednih produktov včasih še vedno
pomeni nekatere časovne, estetske, funkcionalne in cenovne omejitve,«
pojasnjuje Urška, ki je poleg Mojce Janželj Tomažič (Kontrastika)
in ilustratorke Saše Kerkoš glavna Kaaitina oblikovalka.
»Ekološki materiali niso vedno takoj dobavljivi, na izbiro je manj
barv, tekstur ... Vendar so tudi te omejitve, gledane skozi prizmo premišljenega
designa, le nova priložnost za premislek o ustaljenih kreativnih
in produkcijskih procesih, za optimizacijo in morebitno preustrojitev
le teh, priložnost za inovativnost, na podlagi katere nastanejo še
bolj navihani, na človeka, estetsko in okoljsko harmonijo osredotočeni
izdelki.«
»Ko te enkrat ta način razmišljanja prevzame, je logično, da tako ravnaš,«
sklene gospa Alenka.
Lokalno in trezno v prihodnost. Z mislijo na naravo in na vse tisto
fino, kot so majhne priložnosti za velika dejanja, nogavice brez para,
vrečka za zmeraj ali čisto pravcati original, zvezek, sešit iz odpadnega
pisarniškega papirja.
Prelepo, da nekdo misli nate in name.

Kaaita:
Genuine Originals
Text: Lora Power Photography: Miha Fras
“
150 dirhams,” was the unwavering offer from the vendor at
the market in Essaouira.
“Madam, please, this is a kufi, a genuine Moroccan head covering!” he
added with conviction. “A lot of work was put into it, just look at this
masterful embroidery - first class!”
True, it really was nice, and would certainly embellish the collection
kept by my brother-in-law, a hat collector, but what do you do when you
don’t want to haggle, and the price (just under 15 euros) already seems
too low.
Still, the undaunted vendor persisted in the local tradition: “Come on,
name me a price!”
“100” I responded in a dither.
“Madam, please, this is made by hand,” came the offended reply,
along with a lecture on the sheep that had to be sheared for the yarn, the
smelly process of hand-dyeing, the torturous weaving and painstaking
embroidery.
It was not hard to picture the bony fingers of some overworked hand
far away in the Atlas mountains, trying to support an entire family on
such labour. But the game has to be played to the end, so I continued
casting an expert eye over the item in question.
Who knows how long this could have gone on, if I had not noticed in
the next instant a tiny label sewn into the inside of the cap, bearing of
course three telltale words: Made in China.
“Now don’t go thinking that it’s any better here,” I was recently
warned by a saleswoman at a local souvenir shop in Slovenia. “Just take a
look at any of our ‘original’ items!” It won’t be long before we’re importing
our beehive panels and wickerwork from China.”
Pretty sad, we agreed. And we mused aloud about what Slovenia offers
to tourists apart from the odd designer item, salt, wine, cheese and olive
oil. So what could we give a guest as a nice gift from below the Alps
Where could you seek out something imaginative, original, hand-made -
be it for a relative, colleague or neighbour
I would have almost put these consumerist ruminations behind me, if
someone had not whispered to me magnanimously: Kaaita.
That doesn’t sound very local, I registered in wonder, but was later
delighted by the inscription on a soft pair of slippers, and on a once discarded
sweater: “Sewn by skilful hands somewhere in Slovenia.”
And that’s not all - their flock of good things, as they call them, was
created in observance of and respect for nature and forgotten skills, a
product of paths unknown and the zeal of some sensitive people.
One such person is Urška Hočevar, a designer who has worked at
Kaaita right from the beginning.
She says that her work, regardless of the medium or final product, is
based on balanced fusions of the principles of sustainable design, aesthetics,
playful creativity and human warmth.

( 65 )
“My personal, brazenly ambitious goal is to make the world of the
product’s recipient more agreeable than if he did not have the product.”
“In my opinion, you have to be that kind of person,” added the company’s
owner and founder, economics graduate Alenka Repič, talking about
the philosophy of a small, environmentally aware enterprise.
“I was constantly bursting with ideas, and that’s how I arrived in 2004
at a company that to begin with did everything imaginable, then gradually
I refined it down to those really genuine things that come out of me.”
So to begin with Kaaita offered merely services, and then a year and a
half ago it added tangible products.
To throw seed on fallow land, in the hope of germinating an awareness
of people and the environment, you need to be a bit crazy, or very optimistic,
thinks Alenka.
“Luckily I was driven by optimism,” she laughs cheerfully. “But I would
like us to remain small and loveable, and I don’t think that’s so difficult.”
Just all the more important.
“I’d like the products to stimulate a view of the world that’s different
from callous capitalism, which is only looking for a profit. For that reason,
we wrote a manifesto that sums up clearly why our seamstress is so
well paid, why we insist on using Slovene materials and why we do not
regard the competition as a threat.”
To sum up: they take little, and create a lot. They cut out unnecessary
waste and advocate moderate consumption. If at all possible, they avoid
mass production, so they honour craftspeople and everything that is
drawn, cut, sewn, folded or put together with skill and passion. The prices
of their products do not conceal hushed-up damage or dirty technology,
they add, and their suppliers are carefully selected and properly paid.
“It’ll keep going,” confirmed Renata Šoštar, a seamstress from the
Ljubljana suburbs, who makes up little soft Kaaita animals on her old
Pfaff sewing machine – small and large balls made of organic cotton,
filled with spelt or buckwheat chaff and calming lavender.
“I like my client,” confides Renata. “Not just because they know what
they want, but mainly because they respect my work.” In fact it was
because of a disrespectful boss that she left a regular job eight years ago
and set out on her own.
She likes working for an environmentally aware company; “those crazy
things”, as she refers to them, suit her. But designing such products is no
doubt a major challenge for designers.
“Despite new technologies and the growing selection of ecological
materials on the market, designing environmentally aware products
sometimes still means certain limitations in terms of time, aesthetics,
function and price,” explains Urška, who alongside Mojca Janželj Tomažič
(Kontrastika) and illustrator Saša Kerkoš, is the main Kaaita designer.
“Ecological materials are not always immediately available, and there
are fewer colours and textures. But these limitations, seen through the
prism of well thought out design, are just another opportunity to rethink
the established creative and production processes, to optimise and
perhaps reorganise them, an opportunity for innovation, on the basis
of which we can create products that are even more mischievous and focused
on people, aesthetics and environmental harmony.”
“Once that way of thinking takes hold, it’s logical to act in that way,”
concludes Alenka.
A future based on moderation and what is local. With an eye for nature
and everything fine, like little opportunities for great acts, single socks,
a bag to last forever or a genuine original, a book bound in waste office
paper.
It’s great that someone is thinking of you and me. A

Vrhnika
in njena pot
skozi čas
Besedilo: Nataša Oblak Japelj

»Vrhnika, prečuden kraj! V mehkem domotožju mi zakoprni
srce ob mislih nate. Kdo te je videl z bdečimi očmi, kdo te je
spoznal Šli so mimo, videli so bele ceste, bele hiše, in so šli
dalje. Jaz pa sem ti pogledal v obraz kakor ljubljenemu dekletu
in zdaj je moje srce bolno po tebi.«
Ivan Cankar

Ta PreČudni KraJ leŽi na sKraJneM JuGoZahodu LJuBlJansKeGa
barja v objemu kraških hribov. Tu voda v številnih izvirih
dokončno zapusti temen, skrivnosten svet kraškega podzemlja
in se kot reka Ljubljanica spokojno odvije po barjanski ravnici.
Vrhnika je nastala zaradi prometa. Zrasla je ob izviru plovne poti po reki
Ljubljanici, nad katero je človek že v daljni preteklosti odkril najzložnejši
naravni prehod čez kraške gozdnate planote proti Jadranskemu morju.
Številne dragocene najdbe, zapisi in pričevanja kažejo, da je zgodovina
Vrhnike pestra in zanimiva. V strugi Ljubije v Verdu pri Vrhniki
so našli doslej najstarejši
datiran ostanek človeka v
Sloveniji: žensko lobanjo in
različno orodje in orožje, ki
izpričujejo, da so tu v nabiralniško-lovski
skupnosti
živeli ljudje že v 8. tisočletju
pr. n. št.
Kdo ve, kako bi se življenja
v teh krajih spominjal
koliščar iz bližnjih Starih
gmajn Že pred 5200 leti
je obdeloval rodovitno
barjansko črnico, pridelke
s polja pa vozil domov z
dvokolesnim vozom, katerega
ostanke so našli v
osuševalnem jarku. Kolo z
osjo, narejeno v kombinaciji
jesenovega in hrastovega lesa, je najstarejša najdba te vrste na svetu
in pravi tehniški biser. V tem času je bilo Ljubljansko barje sicer še pretežno
prekrito z jezerom, po katerem so se prebivalci kolišč prevažali z
drevaki, stesanimi iz drevesnih debel. Ostanke kolišč so odkrili tudi na
severni strani osamelca Blatna Brezovica v bližini Vrhnike.
Rimljani so videli kraj, v katerem izvira reka z obilico počasi tekoče
vode, kot idealen za začetek vodne poti s smeri Aquillee ob Jadranskem
morju. V 1. stol. pr. n. št. so na območju ostankov mitninske postaje starejšega
keltskega naselja Tavriskov zgradili rečno pristanišče, po katerem
je kraj dobil ime. Nauportus je postal pomembno utrjeno trgovsko
mesto z živahnim pretokom blaga z zahodnega dela rimskega imperija
na vzhod. Celi vojaški oddelki so kasneje tu po še precej zamočvirjenem
svetu gradili ceste, mostove, prekope ter regulirali strugo Ljubljanice.
V 3. stol. n. št., ko je moč rimskega imperija že slabela, so na območju
današnjega Gradišča postavili pomembno strateško petkotno trdnjavo.
Ostanki stolpa na Turnovšah nad Vrhniko, od koder se je stražarju
odpiral razgled na celo Ljubljansko kotlino, kažejo na celovit obrambni
sistem. Claustra Alpium Iuliarum v desetkilometrski dolžini obkroža
vrhniški kot. Zgrajen je bil za obrambo rimskega imperija pred vdori
številnih plemen, ki so z
vzhoda navalila na razpadajoči
rimski imperij.
V naslednjih stoletjih je
to območje postalo mejno
med dvema različnima
svetovoma: poganskim
slovanskim in krščanskim
romansko-germanskim.
Prometne poti so dobile
pretežno vojaški značaj.
Težko si predstavljamo
množice vojakov in najrazličnejših
ljudstev, ki so se
v tistem času po trasi stare
rimske ceste pomikale skozi
Vrhniko.
Po 9. stoletju so skozi
Vrhniko tovorili sol s severnega
Jadrana, v nasprotno smer pa med, vosek, živino, krzno in kože.
Po tej poti so prihajali tudi misijonarji iz Ogleja ter gradbeniki, klesarji in
drugi umetniki iz Italije. V Rim sta skozi naše kraje potovala tudi svetniška
brata Ciril in Metod.
Življenje srednjeveškega Vrhničana je zavito v tančico skrivnosti. Kdaj
je ta prečuden kraj z odlično prometno lego in s tem povezanimi gospodarskimi
funkcijami, z upravno sodnim sedežem in župnijsko cerkvijo
dobil trške pravice, ni pojasnjeno. Kot večini drugih krajev tudi Vrhniki
ni bilo prizaneseno z »nadlogami« tistega časa; prizadeli so jo večkratni
turški vdori, kmečki upori, požari, potres in poplave.

Konec 15. in v 16. stoletju so v habsburških deželah vzpostavljali redne
poštne zveze. Oberlaybach, kot se je takrat imenovala Vrhnika, je bil
pomembna poštna postaja. V stavbi, ki se danes imenuje Stara pošta, so
s čolnov, pripeljanih po Ljubljanici iz Ljubljane, pretovarjali pošto z Dunaja
in Gradca in jo odpravljali dalje do Gorice in Benetk.
Janezu Vajkardu Valvasorju, članu angleške kraljeve akademije, se
lahko zahvalimo za slikovite opise in orise Vrhnike iz druge polovice 17.
stoletja. Upodobil je sliko solidno zgrajenega trga ob potniškem pristanišču
na Bregu, v katerem se »… mudi veliko trgovcev, izposojevalcev konj, tovornikov
in vsake vrste takega ljudstva, ki živi od ceste.«
Nižje ob Ljubljanici je bilo še eno pristanišče, in sicer tovorno, s skladišči
in mitničarskim uradom. Na veličino takratnega prometa še danes
opozarja mogočno skladišče idrijskega rudnika, v katerem so skladiščili
živosrebrovo rudo, preden so jo po Ljubljanici odpeljali naprej v svet, in
ogrsko žito ter drugo blago, namenjeno potrebam Idrije.
Kako se je spominjal prenočevanja v današnji Stari pošti na Vrhniki
oče cesarice Marije Terezije, cesar Karel VI. Uglednega gosta, ki je s
spremstvom potoval s cesarskega Dunaja proti svobodni luki v Trstu, je
30. avgusta 1732 v svoji hiši razkošno pogostil mitničar Kalin.
Na Vrhniki pa je prenočil tudi sam Napoleon, ko se je po podpisu premirja
v Leobnu aprila 1797 s svojo vojsko umikal proti Italiji. Zato je svojega
gostitelja, pivovarja Klemenčiča, imenoval za vrhniškega mera, župana.
V začetku 19. stoletja, ko so zgradili »cesarsko cesto« ob severnem
robu Ljubljanskega barja, se je promet po Ljubljanici zmanjšal, razvilo
pa se je furmanstvo. Mimo vrhniške mitnice je šlo proti Trstu letno povprečno
1700 večjih tovornih vozov, ki jih je vleklo do šest konj, manjših
pa približno 12 000. Naraščajoč promet je omogočal preživetje prodajalcem
krme, izposojevalcem konj, kolarjem, usnjarjem, sedlarjem, kovačem,
gostilničarjem in težakom, ki so pretovarjali blago.
Kaj vse so na svojih dolgih poteh videli in doživeli vrhniški furmani,
ki so tovorili do Mantove v severni Italiji! Po tem kraju so poimenovali
domačo gostilno, danes hotel Mantova.
Sredi 19. stol. so graditelji Cesarsko kraljeve južne železnice občudovali
vrhniške bele hiše s posekanih pobočij bližnjih hribov, po katerih je
bila začrtana trasa proge. Vrhniške bele ceste so odtlej samevale, saj se je
promet preusmeril na železno cesto. Za Vrhničane, ki so se dotlej preživljali
predvsem s prevozništvom, je bil to velik udarec, zato so se morali
preusmeriti v panoge, temelječe na drugih naravnih danostih. Zgradili
so opekarne, žage, mline, tovarno parketa, usnjarne …
Vsak čas prinaša nekaj novega in čas zgodnjega kapitalizma je bil za
nekatere priložnost, za druge poguba. Številne vrhniške družine je novonastala
gospodarska situacija pahnila v revščino, med drugim tudi
družino pisatelja Ivana Cankarja. Težke življenjske razmere, v katerih je
odraščal, so še poglobile njegovo občutljivo dojemanje življenja in sveta,
zato so njegova dela biseri, ki jih je rodila bolečina.
Ivan Cankar se v uvodu sprašuje, kdo je Vrhniko v resnici videl in spoznal
tako kot on. Mnogi so šli mimo nje, mnogi so tu živeli, pustili svoje
sledi, pa je v resnici niso ne videli ne spoznali …, in so šli dalje …

Postanek
na Vrhniki
Dragi popotnik, te lahko povabim na ogled Vrhnike, nad katero se, kot
pravi Ivan Cankar, že od daleč bela kakor nevesta sveti na holmu sveta Trojica,
razgleduje se po sončni ravni, po tihem sanjajočem močvirju …
Pa se najprej podajva tja, na bližnjo barjansko ravan, ki ji domačini
pravimo tudi Mah ali Marost. Obiščiva osamelec Kostanjevica pri Bevkah,
kjer leži zamočvirjen naravni rezervat Mali plac, edini ostanek
šotno-mahovnega barja v tem delu Evrope. Tu rastejo številne sicer
ogrožene močvirske rastline, morda z malo sreče ugledava še avtohtono
želvo sklednico!
Potem se lahko povzpneva na 733m visoko Planino in tam splezava še
22 m višje na razgledni stolp, od koder bova videla bližnjo in daljno okolico
Vrhnike vse tja do bele Ljubljane, Krima, Snežnika, Nanosa, Triglava …
Mimogrede ti lahko zaupam, da vrhniško turistično društvo Blagajana
vsako leto izkazuje gostoljubnost in prijaznost do novo priseljenih
na Vrhniko s srečanjem v Starem Malnu pod Planino, kjer ob izviru Bele
v Lintvernu pričaka obiskovalce tudi zmaj z mladiči.
Vedno znova in vsakogar navdušujejo številni izviri Ljubljanice v zatrepnih
dolinah v Retovju in Močilniku in zakaj ne bi obiskala tudi teh

Verjetno si že slišal bajko o Argonavtih, ki se jim je prav v Močilniku
končala vodna pot iz Kolhide ob Črnem morju Tu je še vedno vidna sled
Jazonove pesti, ko se je med dvigovanjem ladje Argo uprl v previsno steno
nad izvirom Velikega Močilnika. Vse do Jadranskega morja je njegova
posadka prenesla ladjo na ramenih. Mit o obisku teh znamenitih mož je
osnova za Argonavtske dni. Zavod Ivana Cankarja Vrhnika pripravi vsako
leto junija številne prireditve, ki sledijo spektakularnemu odprtju.
Množice obiskovalcev z vseh koncev Slovenije in tujine prihajajo na ta
največji vrhniški praznik zabave in veselja.

Zavod Ivana Cankarja Vrhnika je tudi sicer nosilec vrste dejavnosti
na področju kulture, turizma in športa v kraju. Pod njegovim okriljem
sta Cankarjeva spominska hiša in Cankarjeva literarna pot, po kateri te
z veseljem popeljem. V mesecu Cankarjevega rojstva, maju, te vabim na
številne kulturne dogodke, posvečene spominu na znamenitega rojaka.
V neposredni bližini Vrhnike stoji grad, nekoč samostan Bistra, v katerem
so kartuzijani, molčeči beli menihi, prepisovali knjige in molili za
blagor vseh duš. Danes je tu Tehniški muzej Slovenije z raznimi oddelki,
vrednimi ogleda.
Obilica idej in nove, sveže energije pa povezujejo fotografe in likovnike
Fotokluba Okular, ustanovljenega v začetku leta 2011. Letos maja so
na Jelovškovi ulici 1 na Vrhniki odprli svojo galerijo s preprostim imenom
Mala mestna galerija. Skupaj z društvom Festival ljubezni in umetnosti
(FLU) so v sorazmerno kratkem obdobju delovanja pod programskim
vodjo galerije, akademskim kiparjem mag. Bojanom Mavsarjem,
ustvarili zavidljiv šopek kulturnih dogodkov. Njihovim otvoritvam
razstav sledi druženje ob glasbenih koncertih na bližnjem Sodnijskem
trgu, ki ima po potrebi tudi funkcijo galerije na prostem. Glede na obetavne
začetke se lahko nadejamo novih, zanimivih kulturnih prireditev,
ki bodo omogočale druženje tako umetnikom ustvarjalcem kot obiskovalcem,
vse skupaj razveseljevale in še naprej poživljale ter bogatile
ponudbo kulturnega življenja v mestu.
Velika želja mnogih Vrhničanov, še posebej tistih, ki smo dejavni v
Muzejskem društvu Vrhnika, je, da bi kraj čim prej dobil svoj muzej v
eni od znamenitih stavb, zapuščin preteklosti. V njem bi bila predstavljena
pestra zgodovina kraja in razstavljene številne dragocene najdbe
s področja Vrhnike in njene okolice. Prav vidim naju, dragi popotnik,
kako se sprehajava po tem muzeju in se skupaj čudiva, koliko vsega je na
Vrhniki že bilo … In kaj vse še bo!

Vrhnika
and Its Journey
Through Time

This wonderful place lies at the far south-western end of
the Ljubljansko Barje wetland, surrounded by karst hills. Here
the water finally leaves the dark, mysterious world of the karst
underground in numerous springs and, as the river Ljubljanica, winds
placidly across the marshy plain.
Vrhnika came into being because of traffic. The settlement grew up at
the source of the Ljubljanica waterway, above which the easiest natural
route across the forested karst plateaux towards the Adriatic had been
discovered far back in the distant past.
Numerous valuable finds, records and testimonies show that the history
of Vrhnika has been varied and interesting. The bed of the Ljubija
stream at Verd near Vrhnika has yielded up the oldest dated human
remains yet found in Slovenia: a female skull and various tools and
weapons – evidence that people were living here in a hunter-gatherer
community in as early as the 8th century BC.
Who can imagine what memories a pile-dweller from nearby Stare
Gmajne would have of life in these parts He was tilling the fertile,
peaty soil 5,200 years ago, and transporting his crops home from the
field in a two-wheeled cart, the remains of which have been found in a
drainage ditch. This wooden wheel and axle, made from a combination
of ash and oak, represent the oldest find of this kind in the world and a
veritable jewel of technical heritage. At that time most of the Ljubljansko
Barje was still a lake, across which the pile-dwellers travelled in canoes
hewn from tree trunks. Remains of pile dwellings have also been
found on the north side of Blatna Brezovica, a hill not far from Vrhnika.
The Romans saw this place, the source of a river with plentiful slowflowing
water, as the ideal start for a waterway to carry the traffic from
Aquileia on the Adriatic. In the first century BC, in the area of the remains
of the toll station belonging to an older Celtic settlement of the
Taurisci people, the Romans built the river port from which the place
took its name. Nauportus became an important fortified trading post
with a busy flow of goods from the western part of the Roman Empire
towards the east. Entire military detachments later built roads, bridges
and canals across the marshy land and regulated the channel of the
Ljubljanica.

"Vrhnika, wonderful place! In soft nostalgia my heart
yearns with thoughts of you. Who has seen you with
watchful eyes, who has known you They have passed
by, seen your white roads and white houses, and gone on
their way. But I have gazed into your face as at a beloved
girl and now my heart is sick for you."
Ivan Cankar

( 74 )
In the third century AD, with the power of the Roman Empire already
on the wane, a strategically important five-cornered fortification was built
in the area of present-day Gradišče. The remains of a tower in Turnovše
above Vrhnika, which commanded a view of the entire Ljubljana Basin, indicate
the presence of a comprehensive defensive system. A ten-kilometre
section of the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum encircles the Vrhnika area. It was
built to protect the Roman Empire from the incursions of the numerous
tribes that were assailing the disintegrating empire from the east.
In the following centuries this area became the border between two
distinct worlds: the pagan Slavonic world and the Christian Romano-
Germanic world. Roads took on a predominantly military character. It is
hard to imagine the great numbers of soldiers and enormous variety of
different peoples who
moved through Vrhnika
along the route of
the old Roman road in
those times.
After the 9th century
salt from the northern
Adriatic was transported
through Vrhnika,
while honey, wax, livestock,
furs and skins
travelled in the opposite
direction. Others
to use this route
included missionaries
from Aquileia, builders,
stonemasons
and other artisans
from Italy. The saintly
brothers Cyril and
Methodius travelled
through Vrhnika on their way to Rome.
The daily life of the people of Vrhnika in the Middle Ages is still
shrouded in mystery. It is not precisely known when market town rights
were granted to this wonderful place with its advantageous location and
related commerce, a centre of administration and justice and a parish in
its own right. Vrhnika, like most other places, was not spared the troubles
of the age; it suffered several raids by the Ottoman Turks, peasant
revolts, fires, an earthquake and floods.
In the late 15th and early 16th centuries a regular postal service was
established in the Habsburg lands. Oberlaybach, as Vrhnika was then
known, was an important mail station. In the building today known as
the Old Post Office, mail from Vienna and Graz, brought by boat along
the Ljubljanica from Ljubljana, was unloaded and sent on to Gorizia and
Venice.
We have Johann Weikhard Valvasor, a fellow of the Royal Society
in London, to thank for the picturesque descriptions and outlines of
Vrhnika in the second half of the 17th century. He painted a picture of a
solidly constructed market town by the passenger landing at Breg, home to
"many merchants, horse suppliers, carters and other people of the sort who earn
their living from the road."
Further downstream was another landing stage, this one for cargo,
with warehouses and a toll collector's office. The great warehouse in
which mercury ore from the mine in Idrija was stored before being
transported along the Ljubljanica, along with Hungarian grain and
other goods destined for Idrija, still gives an idea of the scale of the traffic
through Vrhnika at that time.
How would Emperor Charles VI, the father of Empress Maria Theresa,
have remembered his overnight stay in Vrhnika, in the Old Post Office
On 30 August 1732, the eminent visitor, en route with his retinue from
the imperial capital Vienna to the free port of Trieste, was sumptuously
entertained at the
house of the toll collector
Kalin.
Napoleon himself
spent the night in
Vrhnika during the
withdrawal of his
army towards Italy following
the signing of
the Peace of Leoben in
April 1797. He rewarded
his host, a brewer
called Klemenčič, by
appointing him mayor
of Vrhnika.
In the early 19th century,
with the building
of the "imperial road"
along the northern
edge of the Ljubljansko
Barje, river traffic
on the Ljubljanica diminished and cart transport began to develop. Every
year an average of 1,700 heavy carts drawn by up to six horses passed
through Vrhnika toll station on the way to Trieste – along with around
12,000 smaller carts. The growing traffic provided a living for feed sellers,
suppliers of horses, wheelwrights, tanners, saddlers, blacksmiths,
innkeepers and the labourers who loaded and unloaded goods.
What would the carters of Vrhnika seen and experienced on their
long journeys to Mantua in northern Italy An inn in their hometown,
today's Hotel Mantova, took its name from this city.
In the mid-19th century, the builders of the Imperial and Royal Southern
Railway admired the white houses of Vrhnika from the cleared
slopes of the nearby hills along which the railway was to run. The white
roads of Vrhnika would be left to themselves from now on, as traffic
moved to the iron road. This was a serious blow for the people of Vrhnika,
whose livelihood had hitherto depended above all on the transport
of goods. They were now forced to turn to sectors based on other natural
characteristics. They built brickworks, sawmills, watermills, a parquet
factory, tanneries and so on.

Every age brings something new and the early days of capitalism
meant an opportunity for some and ruin for others. The new economic
situation plunged many Vrhnika families into poverty, among them the
family of the writer Ivan Cankar. The difficult conditions in which he
grew up further deepened his sensitive understanding of the world and
life, and his works are therefore pearls born of pain.
In the introduction to this piece, Ivan Cankar asks who truly saw and
knew Vrhnika as he did. Many people had passed through, many had
lived here and left their traces, but in reality they had neither seen or
known it… and had gone on their way…

A Stop
in Vrhnika
Dear traveller, let me invite you to visit Vrhnika, above which, even
from a distance, the Holy Trinity gleams on its hill, white as a bride, gazing over
the sunny plain, the quiet dreaming marshes...
And let us go onwards, onto the marshy plain, which we locals also
know as Mah or Marost. We shall visit the solitary hill of Kostanjevica
pri Bevkah, the site
of the Mali Plac nature
reserve, the sole
surviving remnant of
peat-moss bog in this
part of Europe. Many
endangered marsh
plants grow here, and
with a little luck we
may even catch sight
of the European pond
turtle, a native of these
parts!
After that we can
ascend Planina (733
metres) and climb a
further 22 metres to
the top of the lookout
tower, from where we
can see Vrhnika and its
surroundings as far as
"white Ljubljana", Krim, Snežnik, Nanos, Triglav, and so on.
I should tell you, by the way, that every year the Vrhnika-based tourism
organisation Blagajana shows hospitality and friendliness to new
arrivals with the annual get-together in Stari Malen at the foot of Planina,
where a dragon and her young await visitors at Lintvern, one of the
springs of the Bela stream.
The many springs of the Ljubljanica in the blind valleys in Retovje
and Močilnik are always popular with visitors, so why not visit these
too
You have probably already heard the tale of the Argonauts, whose water-borne
journey from Colchis on the Black Sea ended here in Močilnik.
Here the mark of Jason's fist is still visible on the cliff above the spring
of the Veliki Močilnik, where he placed it as he and his men lifted the
Argo. His crew carried the ship on their shoulders all the way to the
Adriatic. The myth of these famous men is the basis for an event called
Argonaut Days. Each June the Ivan Cankar Institute of Vrhnika organises
the numerous events that follow the spectacular inauguration of
the Argonaut Days. Large numbers of visitors from all over Slovenia and
abroad flock to Vrhnika for this festival of fun and entertainment.
The Ivan Cankar Institute also organises other activities in the fields
of culture, tourism and sport. It is responsible for the Cankar Memorial
House and the Cankar Literary Trail – along which I will be happy to
lead you! In May, the month of Cankar's birth, I invite you to numerous
cultural events dedicated to the memory of Vrhnika's famous son.
Close to Vrhnika is a castle, the former Carthusian monastery of Bistra,
where the silent order of white monks copied books and prayed for
the good of all souls. Today the castle is home to the Technical Museum,
incorporating several sections that are well worth a visit.
A wealth of ideas and new, fresh energy link the photographers and
artists of the Okular photography club, founded at the start of 2011. In
May this year the club
opened its own gallery,
known simply
as the "Small Town
Gallery" at Jelovškova
Ulica 1 in Vrhnika. In
conjunction with the
Festival of Love and
Art (FLU), and under
the leadership of artistic
director Bojan
Mavsar, an Academytrained
sculptor, they
have created, in a
relatively brief time,
an enviable series of
cultural events. Their
exhibition openings
are followed by gatherings
and concerts in a
nearby square – Sodnjiski
Trg – which can also function as an open-air gallery if necessary.
Given these promising beginnings, we can hope for many more interesting
cultural events that will enable artists and visitors to meet and
mingle, for the enjoyment of all, and continue to enliven and enrich the
cultural life of the town.
It is the great hope of many citizens of Vrhnika, particularly those of
us who are active members of the Museum Society, that the town will
soon have its own museum in one of the magnificent buildings that are
a legacy of the town's past. Such a museum would present the town's
rich history and exhibit many valuable finds from Vrhnika and its surroundings.
I can just see us, dear traveller, as we stroll through the
museum and together marvel at all the things that have happened in
Vrhnika... and all that the future will bring!

Turno smučanje na Komni
( 78 )
Kjer se višina
snega
meri v metrih

( 79 )
V
belem zimskem času se na zasneženih
pobočjih Komne in nad njo piše
gorska, turnosmučarska pravljica.
Prostrana planota Komne služi pozimi kot
izhodišče tako za enodnevne izlete kot za daljša
bivanja visoko nad bohinjsko dolino. S svojo
višino nekaj nad 1500 metrov je ravno pravšnje
izhodišče za turne smučarje, pa tudi za druge
gornike, ki se v zgodnjih jutrih zbujajo nad
kopreno oblakov, ki pokrivajo nižje ležeče kraje
v dolini, in so tudi že dovolj visoko, da so jim
bližnji dvatisočaki kar hitro dosegljivi.

V
dobro zasneženih zimah se višina snežne odeje na Komni
meri v metrih in ob tolikem snegu postane že tako ravninska
in večinoma le z nizkim drevjem porasla pokrajina še bolj
monolitna. S tem pa tudi zahtevna in nevarna za orientacijo, še
posebej v slabih vremenskih razmerah, ko hkrati pritisnejo megla,
veter in sneg. Megla namreč v zimskih mesecih na Komni ni redkost,
in kadar so skale in nižje rastoče drevje pod snegom, ob tem pa piha
še močan veter, ki ob vzponih ali spustih smučarjev in pohodnikov
sproti briše vse njihove sledi v snegu, so za uspešno orientacijo
ob dobrem poznavanju terena zelo priporočljivi, če ne celo nujno
potrebni gps naprava, kompas in natančen zemljevid.
Pozimi prihaja vsakodnevno na Komno ogromno pohodnikov, alpinistov
in turnih smučarjev. Utečena široka pot, skorajda magistrala, vodi
cikcakasto od Koče pri Savici in se zlagoma pne skozi pretežno bukov
gozd, ki se kot oblačnost z višino vedno bolj redči, do Koče na Komni, kjer
se gozd neha, pokrajina se zravna in odpre, na nebu pa se pokaže sonce.
Na Komno se odpravimo na višku zime in ostanemo od sobote do
sobote. Ekipa približno 20 ljudi – turnih smučarjev, vodnikov, zdravnik
in kuhar s pomočnikom – se zberemo v eni izmed koč na Komni,
ki služi kot izhodiščna baza. Kuhar in pomočnik skrbita za naše tople
obroke in suhe malice ter neomejene količine vročega domačega čaja,
izkušeni gorski vodniki in prekaljeni smučarji načrtujejo in dnevno
prilagajajo ture ter smučarje vodijo po njim dobro znanem terenu,
zdravnik je zraven že zaradi preventive in varnosti, vsake toliko pa le
oskrbi kakšno manjšo rano ali poškodbo.

Po zgodnjem in obilnem zajtrku se glede na trenutne razmere in napovedi
odločimo za najprimernejšo turo. Zberemo se pred kočo, kjer preverimo
delovanje lavinskih žoln, ki jih preventivno ves čas hoje in smučanja
nosimo pripete pod oblačili ob telesih. Na pot vzamemo tudi vso
drugo obvezno opremo, kot so srenači, dereze, cepin, lavinska sonda in
lopata, ter rezervna oblačila, hrano in pijačo. Po začetnem hladu se začno
telesa kmalu segrevati: snamemo kapo, slečemo zgornji sloj oblačil in
po kakšni uri vzpenjanja se ustavimo za manjši prigrizek in topel čaj. V
nadaljevanju vzpenjanja s krajšimi postanki dosežemo enega od vrhov
na višini približno 2000 metrov. Če je vreme sončno in prijetno, sledi na
vrhu pred spustom obvezna malica s toplim čajem in hladnim pivom ter
krajšim počitkom oz. ležanjem na soncu; kadar pa je vrh zavit v meglo
in veter, si karseda hitro pripravimo smuči in ostalo opremo za spust,
malica in počitek pa sledita v kakšnem zavetrju ob vznožju. Najlepše je
seveda ob jasnih sončnih dnevih, ko po začetni jutranji hoji kake pol ure
prehajamo iz meglice v sonce, ki nas v brezvetrju pričaka tudi na vrhu,
v dolino pa se spustimo vijugajoč skorajda lebde iznad sveže zapadlega
pršiča s kriki ugodja iz trebuha in širokimi nasmehi čez obraz.
Krepkemu kosilu, ki nas pričaka po vsakodnevni vrnitvi v kočo,
večerji in toplini s krušno pečjo razgretega jedilno-dnevnega prostora
stoji nasproti asketskost življenja v hribih. V koči ni televizije, računalnikov
in interneta, časopisov, še kopalnice, stranišča in tekoče vode
ne – le odmerjene kaplje ledeno mrzle vode za osebno higieno. Spimo
na pogradih in skupinskih ležiščih pod streho, leseno stranišče na štrbunk
je v temi in mrazu nekoliko stran od koče. Namesto tekoče vode
za umivanje uporabljamo higienske robčke, najbolj pogumni pa se še
razgreti od smuke umijejo kar napol goli s snegom oziroma v snegu
pred kočo – sneg se z drgnjenjem po vroči koži kar stopi na njih.
Pa vendar po asketskem tednu dni v hribih ugotovimo, da so dobra
družba, sončna jutra, širjave pršiča in topel čaj povsem dovolj, da se odrečemo
vsemu drugemu, kar nam sicer v dolini zapolnjuje dneve, in da
teden dni smuke in odklopa od realnosti še prehitro mine.

Where
Snow
the Depth
of the
is Measured in Metres
( 84 )
Text and photography: Matic Brumen
In the white winter season, a mountain fairy tale of ski
touring adventures is written on the snow-covered slopes of the
Komna plateau and above it. The broad expanse of the Komna
plateau serves in winter as a starting point both for day trips and
longer stays high above the Bohinj Valley. At a height of a little over
1,500 metres above sea level, it is an ideal starting point for ski tourers
and other visitors to the mountains, who wake up early in the morning
above the veil of clouds that cover the lower-lying areas down in
the valley and are already sufficiently high up for the nearby twothousand-metre
peaks to be rapidly reachable.
In winters when there is plenty of snow, the depth of the snow cover
on Komna is measured in metres. With this much snow on the ground,
the flat landscape with its mainly low trees becomes even more uniform.
This makes orientation difficult and dangerous, particularly
in poor weather conditions, when fog, wind and snow are all present
simultaneously. Fog is not uncommon on Komna in winter, and when
the rocks and low trees are under the snow and a strong wind is blowing,
immediately erasing the tracks and footprints of skiers and hikers,
successful orientation requires not only good knowledge of the terrain
but also a GPS device, a compass and a good map.
Large numbers of hikers, climbers and ski tourers come to Komna
every day in winter. A broad, well-established trail – almost a main road
– follows a zigzag course from Koča pri Savici, climbing gently through
a forest of mainly beech trees, which like the cloud cover gets thinner as
the altitude increases, to Koča na Komni, where the trees end, the landscape
levels out and opens up, and the sun appears in the sky.
We set off to Komna in the height of winter and stay for a week, from
Saturday to Saturday. A group of about 20 of us – ski tourers, guides, a
doctor, a cook and an assistant cook – meet up at one of the mountain
huts on Komna, which serves us as a base. The cook and his assistant
provide hot meals and dry snacks and unlimited quantities of hot tea
(of the local, herbal variety); experienced mountain guides and hardened
skiers plan the daily tours and adapt them to suit the conditions,
and guide the skiers across terrain they know very well; the doctor has
to be on hand for the sake of prevention and safety, and every now and
then will look after some minor wound or injury.
Following an early and plentiful breakfast, and after considering
current conditions and forecasts, we choose the most suitable tour. We
gather outside the hut, where we check our avalanche beacons, which
we wear under our clothes as a preventive measure whenever we are
hiking and skiing. We also take with us all the other necessary equipment
such as bindings, crampons, ice axe, avalanche probe, shovel, a
change of clothes and food and drink. After the initial cold, our bodies
soon begin to warm up: we take off our hats, remove our upper layer of
clothing, and after an hour or so of climbing we stop for a bite to eat
and a hot cup of tea. We continue climbing with short rests until we
reach one of the peaks at a height of around 2,000 metres. If the weather
is sunny and pleasant, before beginning our descent we pause for a
snack and a hot drink or cold beer, and lie in the sun for a quick rest;
when it is windy or the summit is shrouded in fog, we prepare our skis
and other equipment as quickly as possible and postpone our snack
and rest until we reach a more sheltered spot lower down. Clear sunny
days are of course the best, when after an initial hike of around half
an hour we come out of the fog into the sunshine, when the weather is
also sunny and calm at the summit, and we make our winding descent
into the valley almost floating above the fresh powder with shouts of
pure delight and broad grins on our faces.
Contrasting with the hearty lunch that awaits us when we return
to the hut each day, the good dinner and the snug warmth of a dining
room/living space heated by a bread oven, is the asceticism of life
in the mountains. There is no television in the hut, no computers or
internet, and no newspapers. There is not even a bathroom, a toilet or
running water – only a few precious drops of ice-cold water for personal
hygiene. We sleep on bunks in an attic dormitory, and a wooden latrine
is located in the dark and the cold some distance from the hut. Instead
of running water for washing, we use wet wipes. The boldest among us,
still hot from skiing, strip half-naked and wash themselves with snow
or throw themselves into the snow outside the hut. As they rub the
snow over their hot skin it instantly turns to water.
Yet after an ascetic week in the mountains, we come to the realisation
that good company, sunny mornings, expanses of powder and hot
tea are quite enough for us to renounce all the other things that fill our
days down in the valley, and that a week of skiing and disconnecting
from reality goes by all too quickly. A

Pasji frizbi
Air Lyra,
posebna športnica
( 86 )
Prihaja iz velike družine onkraj oceana
in ima več pokalov kot marsikateri
slovenski športnik. Za seboj ima
pet evropskih prvenstev in svetovno
prvenstvo, dvojno zmago že na svojem prvem
tekmovanju na Češkem, tretje mesto na
svojem drugem tekmovanju ‒ evropskem
prvenstvu ‒, skorajšnjo zmago v češkem
pokalu, dva državna rekorda, goro zmag in
zajetno število uvrstitev med prvih pet. Stara
pa je šele osem let.

Lyra (izg. lajra) ne šteje človeških let, ampak pasje. Velja
za prvo slovensko frizbi psičko in prvo slovensko tekmovalko
na evropskem in svetovnem prvenstvu v pasjem frizbiju.
Nastopila je v reklami za čokolado, gostovala v mnogih
televizijskih oddajah, danes pa kljub spoštljivim letom aktivno tekmuje
po Evropi in nastopa na različnih zabavnih, otroških in športnih
prireditvah. Lahko bi rekli, da je zvezda.
Je črnobel border collie z izjemnim spominom in hiperzaznavo gibov.
Njena mama je bila mešanka med border colliejem in avstralskim ovčarjem;
njen oče border collie. Pisalo se je leto 2003. V Indiani v ZDA je živela
Jean McCollister s svojo hčerko in drugim možem. Leto prej se je vrnila
iz Slovenije, kjer je od osemdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja prebivala na
Krasu. Zaželeli so si psa in v hišo so sprejeli Niso in Lyro; obe sta obiskovali
vrtec, šolo, vadili poslušnost in – Lyra se je veliko hitreje učila kot
Nisa. Tudi skakala je zelo visoko in bila že pri štirih mesecih obsedena
z žogicami, ki jih je neprestano nosila k nogam, da bi ji jih kdo vrgel. Še
bolj nenavadno je bilo, da je žogico vedno prinesla nazaj. Življenje v ZDA
pa ni trajalo dolgo. Jean je na Krasu kupila hišo ter se s hčerko in Lyro
spomladi 2004 preselila nazaj v Slovenijo. Niso, ki je ostala v ZDA, je leto
kasneje v Sloveniji zamenjala sinjedlaka avstralska ovčarka Olivia.
Lyrina gibčnost je Jean spodbudila k zanimanju za agility ('okretnost').
Pridružili sta se Športnemu kinološkemu društvu Ajdovščina in leta
2005 začeli tekmovati. Sprva porazno, leta 2007 pa je Lyra postala že
državna prvakinja v srednji kategoriji agility. Nato pa je odkrila frizbi.
Pasji frizbi kot šport takrat v Sloveniji še ni obstajal, v Evropi pa
je bil še v povojih. Jean se je naučila osnov na začetnem seminarju v
nemškem Oberammergauu leta 2007, nato pa že slab mesec kasneje
z Lyro zmagala na prvem tekmovanju v Pragi, in sicer v začetniški
kategoriji v prostem programu (izvajanje trikov ob glasbi) in tudi
v panogi super minidistance, kjer štejejo ujeti frizbiji v različno
oddaljenih conah. Izjemen uspeh jo je spodbudil, da se je udeležila
še nadaljevalnega tečaja, mesec kasneje pa sta na njunem drugem
tekmovanju – evropskem prvenstvu na Poljskem – nastopali v za
razred višji kategoriji ter pristali na tretjem mestu v prostem programu
in na četrtem v minidistanceu, s čimer sta se kvalificirali za svetovno
prvenstvo.
Naslednje leto je Jean z Lyro tekmovala na Češkem že v najvišji kategoriji.
Po komaj enem letu v športu sta se na evropskem prvenstvu uvrstili
na šesto mesto v prostem programu v konkurenci 44-ih najboljših
ekip v Evropi in dobili povabilo na svetovno prvenstvo v ZDA mesec dni
kasneje. Takrat sta bili z Lyro v skupnem seštevku češkega pokala celo
na drugem mestu in favoritinji za končno zmago, a se zadnjega tekmovanja
nista udeležili: s pomočjo prostovoljnih prispevkov sta sicer odpotovali
na svetovno prvenstvo, kjer pa je Lyra zaradi slabega vremena le
za nekaj mest zgrešila finale.
Število slovenskih tekmovalnih parov je medtem raslo, Jean je vodila
seminarje in tečaje, leta 2009 so ustanovili društvo Flipsi. Istega leta
pa se je Lyri in Oli iz Nemčije pridružil še rjavobeli border collie Bamm
Bamm. Lyra in Bamm Bamm si delita tudi državni rekord v lovu frizbija
na daljavo (55 m), Lyra pa je 2011. postavila rekord še v tekmi na čas. Dva
18-metrska meta zaporedoma je ujela v 16.4 sekundah.
Leta 2009 je Lyra zbolela za erlihijo, klopno boleznijo. Kazalo je celo,
da ne bo več tekmovala, a je okrevala. Naslednje leto se je ponovno
kvalificirala za svetovno prvenstvo. »Ne zaslužim si teh psov,« pove
Jean, ko se peljeva s tekmovanja na Češkem, kjer se je 2011. kvalificirala
za češko prvenstvo. »Ker so toliko boljši športniki kot jaz.« Lyra je še
vedno paša za oči v prostem programu. Njeni skoki so pravi poleti, zato
ji je Jean nadela vzdevek Air Lyra. Na evropskem prvenstvu v Belgiji
2011 je bila spet 15. med 57 pari v prostem programu in celo peta v
minidistanceu med 67 pari.
Večina tekmovanj je na Češkem, kar si Jean težko privošči. Malo
pomagajo sponzorji, še več pa odrekanje. McCollister šampionski tim
namreč živi v skromni, nedokončani hiši v Brju pri Koprivi. Lyra najraje
preživlja svoje dneve z Jano in Deanom, ki imata v Brju vikend poleg
Jean. Ob prvem obisku jo najdem točno tam. Njena izjemna inteligenca
se mi sprva zdi skoraj nenaravna, saj ta Wunderhund po sporazumevanju
z ljudmi bolj spominja na majhnega otroka. Razume cele stavke, včasih
celo povedi. Če ne, pozorno posluša, v očeh pa ji piše, da s svojo izjemno
sposobnostjo pomnjenja velikega števila besed osmišlja cele stavke.
Znanstveno je namreč dokazano, da so lahko border collieji po pomnjenju
besed na ravni triletnega otroka. Vznemiri jo na primer »rdeča pika« iz
laserskega kazalnika, »počitnice« ali »iskrice«. Lovi vse, kar se premika
– muhe, sence itd. Pri Jani pozorno gleda televizijo – tenis, nogomet,
risanke in vremensko napoved.
Ko je Jean leta 2005 odpotovala v ZDA, je Lyro pustila v varstvu pri
Jani in Deanu, ki sicer živita v Ljubljani. »Ko sem se vrnila, je bila Lyra
Janin pes,« pove sprejemajoče. Lyra je namreč nenavadno navezana na
Jano. Dokler je na vikendu, Lyra pri njej jé, spi, se igra, ji sledi kot senca,
Jean pa jo vodi na sprehode po Krasu. Od Janinega vikenda jo odvrne le
vožnja z avtomobilom. Sedi na zadnjem sedežu, gleda skozi okno in zdaj
le še občasno poskuša ujeti kakšen mimo vozeči avto. Ko je pri enajstih
mesecih prispela v Evropo, je hotela zgrabiti prav vsak avto od Züricha
do Krasa, dokler ni nekaj kilometrov pred ciljem omagala. Jano in Deana
povezuje s počitnicami. Že med prvim varstvom je z njima obiskala Pokljuko,
gore, Obalo in seveda Ljubljano, kjer je hotela poloviti vse, kar se
je hitreje gibalo. Črne čevlje, vezalke, majhne otroke, kolesa ... Sčasoma
se je navadila. Danes lovi storže v parku Tivoli: točno ve, kje jih bo našla.
Lyra ni neutrudljiva, je pa nepopustljiva do sebe. Tako Jean kot Jana
morata sami potegniti črto, ko vidita, da je utrujena, sicer tvega poškodbo.
Ko se pogovarjava z Jano, mi neprestano nosi predmete v pričakovanju,
da ji jih bom metal, in tako z vztrajanjem ves čas skače v besedo.
»Last time!« zakličem in ji vržem še zadnjič. Ve, da to pomeni zadnji
met, a zanjo sem samo obiskovalec in verjetno niti ne znam dobro angleško,
mogoče sploh ne vem, kaj ta ukaz pomeni. Zato me ne uboga.
Šele Jana ji potrdi, da mislim resno, in ji z drugim ukazom da vedeti, da
je igre konec: »Game over.«
A ne za dolgo.

{ Dog Frisbee }

Air Lyra,
a Very Special
Athlete
Text and photography: Luka Dakskobler
She comes from a large family from across the ocean and
has won more trophies than many a Slovene athlete. She has competed
in five European Championships and a World Championship.
She scored a double victory at her first competition in the Czech Republic
and took bronze in her second competition – the European Championship.
She narrowly missed winning the Czech Disc Dog Cup, is the holder
of two national records and has scored a heap of victories and a considerable
number of top-five placings. And she is only eight years old.
Lyra does not measure her age in human years but in dog years. She
is the first frisbee dog in Slovenia and the first Slovene competitor to
take part in Dog Frisbee European and World Championships. She has
appeared in an advertisement for chocolate, has been a guest on several
television shows and today, despite her venerable age, actively competes
around Europe and appears at events of various kinds including entertainments,
children’s events and sports competitions. We could call her a star.
She is a black and white Border collie with an excellent memory and
an extraordinary ability to spot movement. Her mother was a Border collie/Australian
shepherd cross; her father was a Border collie. In 2003 Jean
McCollister was living in Indiana, USA with her daughter and her second
husband. A year earlier she had returned from Slovenia, where she had
lived in the Karst since the 1980s. The family decided they wanted dogs,
and this is when Nisa and Lyra arrived. Nisa and Lyra attended puppy
school, where they learnt obedience. Lyra was a much quicker learner
than Nisa. She also jumped very high and even at the age of four months
was obsessed with balls, constantly placing them at people’s feet in the
hope that someone would throw them for her. Even more unusual was
the fact that she always brought the ball back. But the family’s life in
the USA did not last long. Jean bought a house in the Karst and in spring
2004 moved back to Slovenia with her daughter and Lyra. Nisa stayed in
America and, a year later, Jean got another dog, a blue merle Australian
shepherd called Olivia.
( 91 )
{ Dog Frisbee }

{ Dog Frisbee }
( 92 )
Lyra’s athleticism encouraged Jean to take an interest in dog agility.
They joined the Ajdovščina Dog Sports Club and in 2005 began competing.
At first without much success, but by 2007 Lyra had become national
champion in the middle agility category. Then she discovered frisbee.
Dog frisbee did not exist in Slovenia as a sport at that time, and elsewhere
in Europe it was still in its infancy. Jean learnt the basics at a novices’
seminar in Oberammergau in Germany in 2007. Less than a month
later she and Lyra won their first competition, in Prague, in the beginners’
freestyle category (doing tricks to music) and in the super mini-distance
event, where points are scored for frisbees caught in scoring zones at different
distances. This amazing success encouraged Jean to sign up for an
advanced course. A month later, at their second competition – the European
Championship in Poland – Jean and Lyra competed in the next category
up and came third in the Advanced freestyle and fourth in mini-distance,
qualifying for the World Championship in the latter event in the process.
The following year Jean and Lyra were already competing in the highest
category, Open, in the Czech Republic. After barely a year in the sport
they came sixth in the freestyle category at the European Championship,
competing against 44 teams, many of them Europe’s best, and received
an invitation to the World Championship in the USA a month later. At
that time Jean and Lyra were in second place in the standings for the
Czech Disc Dog Cup and favourites to win it, but they were compelled to
miss the final competition: instead, with the help of money raised from
donations, they travelled to America for the World Championship, where
unfortunately bad weather caused Lyra to miss out on qualifying for the
finals by just a few places.
In the meantime the number of competing pairs in Slovenia was growing,
Jean was running seminars and courses, and in 2009 a dog frisbee
club called Flipsi was founded. That same year Lyra and Olivia (“Oli”) were
joined by Bamm Bamm, a brown and white Border collie from Germany.
Lyra and Bamm Bamm share the national record in the frisbee distance
category (55 metres), while in 2011 Lyra also set the time-trial record,
catching two consecutive 18-metre throws in a time of 16.4 seconds.
In 2009 Lyra was diagnosed with ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne bacterial infection.
At one stage it looked as though she would never compete again,
but fortunately she recovered. The following year she qualified for the
World Championship again. “I don’t deserve these dogs,” says Jean, as we
make our way back from a competition in the Czech Republic, where in
2011 she and Lyra qualified for the Czech national championship. “They
are much better athletes than I am.” Lyra is still an amazing sight in the
freestyle category. When she jumps she almost flies, so Jean has given her
the nickname “Air Lyra”. At the European Championship in Belgium in
2011 she came fifteenth out of 57 in the freestyle and fifth out of 67 in the
mini-distance category.
Most competitions take place in the Czech Republic, which represents
a considerable expense for Jean. Sponsors help a bit, but sacrifices are
still needed. The highly successful McCollister team live in a modest and
unfinished house in Brje near Kopriva. Lyra likes to spend her days with
Jana and Dean, who have a weekend cottage next door to Jean’s house in
Brje. This is where I find her on my first visit. At first her remarkable intelligence
seems almost freakish, since this wonder dog’s ability to communicate
with human beings almost matches that of a small child. She can
understand whole clauses and sometimes even entire sentences. If not,
she listens carefully and her eyes show that she is using her remarkable
memory for words to put them together so that they make sense. It has in
fact been scientifically demonstrated that the ability of Border collies to
remember words can equal that of a three-year-old child. Things that excite
her include the red dot from a laser pointer, holidays and sparks. She
chases everything that moves – flies, shadows, and so on. At Jana’a house
she watches television with attention – tennis, football, cartoons and the
weather forecast.
When Jean went to America in 2005 she left Lyra in the care of Jana and
Dean, whose main home is in Ljubljana. “When I came back, Lyra was Jana’s
dog,” she tells me in a matter-of-fact manner. Lyra in fact has an unusually
strong bond with Jana. When she is at the weekend cottage, Lyra eats,
sleeps and plays there, and follows Jana like a shadow, although it is Jean
who takes her for walks across the Karst. They only thing that will tempt
her away from Jana’s cottage is a ride in the car. She sits in the back and
looks out of the window, and only occasionally tries to catch passing cars.
When she first came to Europe at the age of 11 months, she wanted to seize
hold of every car from Zürich to the Karst, until she finally collapsed with
exhaustion a few kilometres short of her destination. She associates Jana
and Dean with holidays. During her first stay with them, she visited Pokljuka,
the mountains, the coast and of course Ljubljana, where she tried to
catch everything that moved at all quickly. Black shoes, shoelaces, small
children, bicycles... Over time she got used to it. These days she hunts pine
cones in Tivoli Park: she always knows exactly where to find them.
Lyra’s energy is not unlimited but she is uncompromising with herself.
This means that both Jean and Jana have to draw the line when they see
that she is tired, otherwise she risks injuring herself. While I am talking to
Jana she keeps on bringing me things in the hope that I will throw them
for her, and so constantly interrupts our conversation. “Last time!” I say.
She knows that this means the last throw, but for her I am just a visitor
and for all she knows I may not even speak English very well: perhaps
I have no idea what these words mean. And so she doesn’t obey me. It
takes Jana to confirm that I mean it, and her next command makes it clear
to Lyra: “Game over.”
But not for long.
A

Lyra’s energy is not unlimited but she is
uncompromising
with herself.

za našo armado imeti najškodljivejše posledice.« Na prvem zasedanju
ponovno obujenega dunajskega parlamenta maja 1917 so slovenski predstavniki
skupaj s hrvaškimi in srbskimi iz Dalmacije in Istre zahtevali v
majniški deklaraciji avtonomijo in reforme v državi. Zbiranje podpisov v
njeno podporo, ki so ga organizirale predstavnice ženskih društev, kot so
bile Franja Tavčar, Cilka Krek in Minka Govekar, je preraslo v deklaracijsko
gibanje, eno najpomembnejših množičnih manifestacij na Slovenskem.
Zbiranje podpisov in prodaja deklaracijskega znaka v obliki bršljanovega
lista sta imela tudi dobrodelni namen, saj so zbrana denarna sredstva
namenili podpori oslepelim vojakom. Njihova pisma javne podpore, ki so
na prvem mestu želela mir in reformo državne organizacije, so pomembno
prispevala k mirovni mobilizaciji prebivalstva in nastanku poznejše
nove države na ruševinah razpadle monarhije.
Sicer pa se žensko politično delovanje v času vojne ni omejilo le na zbiranje
podpisov, ampak je bilo usmerjeno tudi v prizadevanja za amnestijo
političnih zapornikov in internirancev. Njihovo delo potrjuje, da so bile
ženske v slovenskem zaledju nosilke mirovnih prizadevanj in da so številne
posameznice videle dlje od poteka prvih bojnih črt.

Avstro-Ogrska je poleg vojakov mobilizirala vse človeške in gospodarske zmogljivosti.
Na gospodarskem področju je vpeljala vojno gospodarstvo na podlagi zakona o vojaški
obveznosti iz leta 1912. Zaradi pomanjkanja moške delovne sile so številna delovna
mesta zasedle ženske, otroci in ujetniki. Na fotografijah so delavnice v Ljubljani, kjer so

In addition to soldiers, Austria-Hungary mobilised all human and economic resources. It
established a war economy in line with the military obligation act of 1912. Owing to the
shortage of manpower, numerous jobs were taken over by women, children and prisoners.

trained as orderlies and hospital assistants. In these conditions of difficulty
and shortage, they joined the nursing sisters of St Vincent de
Paul in helping the wounded. They were present during operations and
assisting with rehabilitation and nursing. Among Slovene nurses of the
First World War, a special place is occupied by Angela Boškin, who early
on encountered hospital wards packed with wounded, convalescing
and crippled soldiers who needed help during the wartime conditions
of shortage. Those returning wounded from the battlefields included
many blinded soldiers, for whom the Slovene Lands had hitherto had
no real concept of their care and reintegration into society. Thanks to
the efforts of teacher Minka Skaberne, who worked under the auspices
of the charitable organisation Dobrodelnost, courses were started for
volunteers to transcribe books into Braille, and a library for blind and
partially sighted people was set up in Ljubljana. The first Slovene books
in the Braille “point script” were the latest, entirely new work of Ivan
Cankar on current events in the war, entitled Podobe iz sanj (Images from
Dreams) and Križ na gori (Cross on the Mountain).
Advertisements appeared on the streets calling on people to attend

left without their drafted fathers, sons and
husbands. Fields remained unsown, or else
agricultural work was taken over entirely by
women and children, prisoners and older
family members. The absence of the male
workforce meant that women increasingly
took over numerous new roles.
On 14 August 1914, before the large
numbers of Slovene soldiers in the Austro-
Hungarian army experienced their baptism
of fire in Galicia on the eastern battlefields,
two soldiers stationed in the village of
Srpenica by the river Soča opened fire on a
car that failed to heed their order to stop. At
the wheel was Lucy, Countess Christalnigg,
on her way back from Gorizia with material
for the Red Cross. A solitary cross by the side
of the Bovec road serves as a reminder of her
tragic death.
The initial enthusiasm for war that accompanied
the departure of the soldiers
from the eastern battlefields soon arrived
in the interior of the Empire. Members of
pre-war charitable and women’s societies
were among the first female volunteers to
attempt to mitigate the intolerable conditions
of war and the growing food crisis.
On 22 April 1918, against a background of
mounting frustration during the last year of
the war, female demonstrators took to the
streets and staged a protest outside the provincial
parliament.
The attack by the Kingdom of Italy on
Austria-Hungary in May 1915 signalled the
start of the war on the western margins of
Slovene territory along the Soča (Isonzo).
Around 80,000 Slovene refugees from coastal

and children, went to relatives and to refugee

jobs. The refugee camps featured numerous educational courses run by
members of the women’s societies. In this way many girls in the refugee
schools had the chance to learn various occupations, and acquired skills
and academic education in extraordinary circumstances.
The beginning of the war saw the revocation of laws prohibiting
work on Sundays, and companies and employees came under military
supervision in producing important products for the war effort. Such
enterprises formed the core of the centrally managed war economy,
which was suffering a chronic shortage of manpower and increasingly
employed women alongside prisoners of war in traditionally male jobs.
In this way the war spurred changes in labour practices and established
habits, and consequently also an increase in industrial accidents. In
Ljubljana people were amazed to see female conductors, dressed in
trousers, on the trams and trains. It also seemed extraordinary to many
people of that time to see women operating machines in factories.
At the beginning of the war political activity became dormant, giving
way to wartime propaganda. In the interior of the country, the fear of
spies started spreading. In January 1915 public notices appeared warning
of female spies: “Hostile foreign nations frequently pursue espionage
through the services of apparently quite innocent-looking women travelling
alone on trains. While travelling, these spies, very often young,
pretty and elegantly dressed persons, perforce insinuate themselves
close to military units, attempting to learn whence they are being transported
and whither, which military units they are, how well-trained the
reserves are, they attempt to eavesdrop on conversations, and generally
to gather military information whose betrayal would have the most serious
consequences for our armed forces.” At the first session of the newly
reconvened parliament in Vienna, in 1917, Slovene representatives,
together with Croats and Serbs from Dalmatia and Istria, issued the May
Declaration demanding autonomy and reform within the state. The collection
of signatures in support of this, which was organised by members
of women’s societies such as Franja Tavčar, Cilka Krek and Minka
Govekar, grew into a movement that was one of the most significant
mass demonstrations in Slovenia. The collection of signatures and the
sale of declaration badges, in the form of an ivy leaf, also served a charitable
purpose, since the money collected went to help blinded soldiers.
Their letters of public support, which first and foremost called for peace
and the reform of the organisation of the state, made a major contribution
to the peaceful mobilisation of the population and the emergence
of the subsequent new state on the ruins of the collapsed Empire.
Women’s political activity during the war was not in fact limited
solely to collecting signatures, it was also focused on efforts to gain
amnesty for political prisoners and internees. Their work confirms that
in the interior of Slovenia, women were in the vanguard of peace efforts,
and that many individual women were able to see beyond the front line
of battle.
The exhibition Slovene Women in the Modern Age is open at the National
Museum of Contemporary History until 1 March.

Vročina je vlažna in nenavadna za otvoritveni koncert Freda
Cheaha. Ta se začne ob sončnem zahodu, ko se še vedno potimo.
Skozi visoke palme le bežno vidimo morje v nekaj korakov
oddaljenem Bengalskem zalivu. To je namreč Malezija. Okrog mene
je kulturni in etnični talilni lonec – mladi Malezijci, Kitajci in Indijci,
večinoma mlajši od trideset let. Občinstvo navdušeno ploska tako skandinavskemu
jazzu tria Espen Eriksen kot tudi angleškemu popu skupine
Shakatak; s skoraj religiozna držo posluša virtuozni nastop Indonezijca
Ria Sidika, ki jo prekine vztrajno spodbujanje švicarskega tria Rusconi.
Ta poslušalce pripravi do tega, da vstanejo in celo vzklikajo ... Med vsem
tem in Evropo, kjer so jazzovski navdušenci starejši in manj odprti in
kjer je zdaj mraz, saj bo kmalu božič, zeva prepad.
Že na prvi pogled je mogoče razbrati, da verska in etnična pripadnost
v tej prečudoviti državi delita družbo – k sreči na miroljuben način. Niti
glasba ni izjema: korenine segajo na Kitajsko in v Indijo, jazz pa se je začel
pojavljati šele proti koncu devetdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja.
Danes je prestolnica jazza otok Penang, kjer je Paul Augustin leta 2004
ustanovil Penang Island Jazz Festival, ki se dogaja v bližini plaže Batu
Ferringhi in ga prekaša le Rainforest World Music Festival. Rezultat
dolgotrajnih prizadevanj in sodelovanja z državami Daljnega vzhoda z
najbolj razvito jazzovsko tradicijo (Indonezija, Japonska in Hongkong),
a tudi z oddaljenima Novo Zelandijo in Evropo je mednarodni festival,
ki je že osmič gostil novinarje in organizatorje z vsega sveta, tudi ob pomoči
ustanov, ki si prizadevajo za turistično promocijo države.
V raznolikem programu so sodelovali mladi lokalni predstavniki
indie glasbe (Liyana Fiz, Az Samad in Bihzhu) ter uveljavljeni glasbeniki
iz Evrope, denimo Ulf Walkenius, in z Daljnega vzhoda (Jiyoung Lee).
Festival se mora spoprijemati s kratko tradicijo in mladim občinstvom,
kljub temu pa je znal biti v teh letih drzen in je ponudil tako lokalne
skupine ljudske glasbe kot tudi iskan in kakovosten sodobni mednarodni
jazz. Vsak večer je bil nagrajen z več kot tisoč obiskovalci.

Le korak stran od vsega tega se razprostira prekrasen otok, poln
kotičkov, ki so med najbolj znanimi in obiskanimi v Maleziji; s celino ga
povezuje 13,5 kilometra dolg most Penang Bridge. Otok velja za »biser
Daljnega vzhoda« in kulinarično prestolnico, njegovo glavno mesto
Georgetown pa je od leta 2008 del svetovne dediščine Unesca.
Sodobnost in stolpnice sobivajo z barvitostjo in mrgolenjem življenja
v kitajski četrti, z vonjavami in začimbami indijskega predela ter z
eleganco kolonialne preteklosti. Čudovite zgradbe, kot je vila Cheong
Fatt Tze Mansion, posvečena razkošju dinastije Ching, živijo v sožitju
z razkošnimi templji, kot sta staro hindujsko svetišče Sri Mariamman
Temple ali pa svetišče Wat Chaiya Mangkalarm z ogromnim ležečim
Budo (33 m). Pod angleško nadvlado je mesto postalo eno najpomembnejših
trgovskih pristanišč na Daljnem vzhodu. Sčasoma se je znalo
spremeniti v finančno in turistično središče, obenem pa ohraniti večji
del neokrnjenosti bližnje džungle, ki ji skorajda ni para.

The beach of the Bayview Beach Resort is dominated by a stage
surrounded by a sea of mats, on which attentive listeners sit
barefooted and follow the proceedings with characteristic
Asian dignity. As a European I am struck above all by this scene that
surrounds me, even though the stage hosts an interesting selection of
mainly jazz-inflected young local performers and established musicians
from Europe and the Far East.
The heat is humid and unusual for the opening concert by Fred Cheah,
which begins at sunset, when we are still perspiring and it is still light
enough to glimpse the waters of the Bay of Bengal, just a few paces away,
through the tall palm trees. This is Malaysia. Around me is a cultural and
ethnic melting pot – young Malaysians, Chinese and Indians, most of
them under 30. The audience show the same appreciation for the Scandinavian
jazz of the Espen Eriksen Trio, the jazz-funk of British group
Shakatak and the virtuoso performance by Indonesian trumpeter Rio
Sidik, but it takes the Swiss trio Rusconi to shake off their restraint and

get them to their feet (and even cheering)… Between all this and Europe,
where jazz fans are older and less open-minded, and where it is now cold
because it is nearly Christmas, there is a yawning gulf.
It is clear even at first glance that society is divided along religious
and ethnic lines in this wonderful country – although fortunately in
a harmonious manner.The same applies to Malaysian music: its roots
reach to China and India, while jazz only began to appear towards the
end of the 1990s.Today the capital of jazz is Penang Island, where in 2004
Paul Augustin founded the Penang Island Jazz Festival, which takes
place near the beach of Batu Ferringhi (“Foreigner’s Rock”) and is Malaysia’s
largest music festival after the Rainforest World Music Festival.
The result of many years of effort and collaboration with those countries
in the Far East with the most developed jazz tradition (Indonesia,
Japan and Hong Kong), but also with more distant territories such as
New Zealand and Europe, is an international festival that is now in its
eighth edition. The presence this year of journalists and festival organisers
from all over the world has been made possible by the Malaysian
tourism ministry and other organisations involved in the promotion of
tourism in the country.
The varied programme included young members of the local independent
music scene (Liyana Fizi, Az Samad and Bihzhu) and established
musicians from Europe (e.g. Ulf Wakenius) and the Far East
(Jiyoung Lee). The festival has to overcome the twin challenges of a tradition
that is still very recent and a young audience, but over the course
of its eight editions it has succeeded in shifting the focus from local folk
groups towards a bolder programme of demanding and high-quality
contemporary international jazz. This year the organisers were rewarded
with an audience of over 1,000 on each evening of the festival.
The last place in the world where
one would expect a jazz festival.

And just a stone’s throw away from all this extends a splendid island
full of sights and attractions that are among the most famous and
popular in Malaysia. Penang Island is connected to the mainland by
the 13.5 km Penang Bridge and is considered “a pearl of the Orient” and
a gastronomic capital. Its main city, Georgetown, has been a UNESCO
World Heritage Site since 2008.
Modernity and tower blocks coexist with the colour and teeming
life of the Chinese quarter, the scents and spices of the Indian district
and the elegance of the colonial past. Wonderful buildings such as the
Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, which recalls the magnificence of the Qing
Dynasty, coexist with magnificent places of worship such as the Sri
Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Penang, or the temple
of Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram with its enormous Reclining Buddha
statue (33 metres). Under British rule the town became one of the most
important trading ports in the Far East. Over time it has transformed
itself into a financial centre and tourist destination, while at the same
time maintaining the nearby jungle largely intact.
The last place in the world where one would expect a jazz festival.

Dobrodošli v letalu Adrie Airways
Spoštovani potniki, vaše zadovoljstvo je naš uspeh. Da bi bilo potovanje z nami čim bolj prijetno, nam
dovolite, da vas opozorimo na nekaj napotkov, ki so pomembni za vaše udobje in varnost pred poletom,
med letom in po pristanku.
Pred poletom
Ekonomski in poslovni razred
Na večini Adrijinih prog izmenično letijo letala tipa Airbus A-319, A-320,
Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-200LR in CRJ-900.
Vozovnica za potovanje v poslovnem razredu je izdana po veljavni tarifi za
poslovni razred in velja eno leto z možnostjo rezervacije, plačila in prevzema
kadarkoli, omogoča pa tudi druge ugodnosti, kot so: sprememba datumov
potovanja brez doplačila, večja količina brezplačne prtljage, uporaba poslovnih
salonov na letališčih idr.
V ekonomskem razredu potujejo potniki z vozovnicami po ekonomskih
tarifah, ki so nižje in vsebujejo določene omejitve.
Nakup vozovnice prek spleta
Adria Airways tudi na mobilnih telefonih
Vsem uporabnikom pametnih telefonov sporočamo, da si lahko na svojem
mobilnem brskalniku nastavijo našo mobilno stran m.adria.si ali pa s skenerjem
kod poskenirajo QR kodo.
Če skenerja nimajo, si ga lahko naložijo na povezavi http://www.i-nigma.
com/Downloadi-nigmaReader.html. Uporabniki iPhona pa to najdejo v iStore.
Mobilna stran prinaša: spremljanje statusa letov, informacije o voznem redu,
informacije o naših destinacijah in informacije o vremenu na destinacijah.
Poleg tega pa na tej strani še lahko najdejo:
vodič za potnike, turistični vodnik, naše kontakte
in različne povezave do sledenja prtljage, iskanja
poslovnih salonov po letališčih in preverjanja
milj v klubu Miles&More.
Seveda pa so tu še novice in najbolj vroče cenovne
ponudbe vozovnic ter »checkmytrip«, kjer
lahko preverijo svoje potovanje.
( 120 )
Web Check-in
V Adrii Airways se zavedamo, da je pri potovanju pogosto dragocena vsaka
minuta. Še posebej takrat, kadar nas na poti na letališče ovira gost promet.
Web check-in je naša novost, s katero boste prihranili čas pri okencu za prijavo
na let, saj se nanj lahko prijavite že od doma, z delovnega mesta oziroma
povsod, kjer je vzpostavljena internetna povezava. Svoj planirani let lahko
prijavite največ 24 ur in najmanj 60 minut pred poletom. Storitev web checkin
je trenutno možna le za določene lete Adrie Airways. V prihodnjih mesecih
bomo obstoječim destinacijam postopoma dodajali še nove.
Letalsko vozovnico lahko najceneje in hitro rezervirate in kupite na Adrijinih
spletnih straneh www.adria.si. To velja le za polete na Adrijinih letih. Nakup
prek interneta je zaščiten z varnostnim certifikatom. Elektronske vozovnice
prejme potnik po elektronski pošti.
V primeru, da potrebujete letalsko vozovnico, kjer bodo vključeni tudi
drugi prevozniki, vas prosimo, da pokličete naš Klicni center za rezervacije in
prodajo letalskih vozovnic na telefonski številki: 386 1 369 10 10 ali 080 13 00.
Potujte z elektronsko vozovnico
Na vseh rednih poletih slovenskega letalskega prevoznika je možno leteti z
elektronsko vozovnico.
Potnik dobi ob nakupu potniški kupon, ki velja kot račun, in načrt poti
(itinerar) v ovitku Adrie Airways. Dokument lahko prejme tudi na svoj elektronski
naslov in ga natisne sam. To dokumentacijo mora imeti s seboj ves
čas potovanja. Pri okencu za prijavo na let se identificira s potnim listom ali
osebno izkaznico. Uslužbenec izda potniku vstopni kupon za let, s katerim ta
vstopi v letalo. Elektronski način dokumentiranja prodaje zagotavlja sproten
vpogled v dogajanje z vozovico, hiter prenos podatkov in manjše možnosti
zlorab. Najpomembnejše pri tem pa je, da so potnikovi kuponi za let shranjeni
v elektronski obliki in tako varni pred izgubo.
Omejitve pri vnosu živil v EU
Potnikom svetujemo, da pred potovanjem preverijo seznam artiklov, ki jih
je mogoče vnesti na območje Evropske skupnosti. Strog nadzor nad uvozom
mesa, mleka, rib, lupinarjev ter njihovih izdelkov je nujen za zaščito ljudi in
živali pred boleznimi, ki se lahko prenašajo s temi živili.
V primeru, da carinska služba pri rutinskem pregledu osebne prtljage ugotovi
prisotnost nedovoljenih živil živalskega izvora, le-ta zaseže. Informativni
letak »Kaj prinesti domov« vam je na voljo na naši spletni strani.
Več informacij lahko dobite na Glavnem uradu VURS-a ali na njihovi spletni
strani www.vurs.gov.si v poglavju Javne objave/Uvoz živil za osebno rabo.
Ročna prtljaga
Zaradi vaše varnosti in udobja vas vljudno prosimo, da upoštevate mednarodna
pravila, ki potniku dovoljujejo imeti pri sebi en kos ročne prtljage v
velikosti 55 x 40 x 23 cm in z največjo težo osem kilogramov.
Ročno prtljago namestite v za to namenjeni predal nad sedežem, težje
kose pa, če je le mogoče, shranite pod sedež pred sabo. Priporočamo vam, da
predal s prtljago pazljivo odpirate, saj se lahko med poletom predmeti v njem
premaknejo.
Na letalih CRJ oddajte večjo ročno prtljago pred letalom. Tam jo takoj po
izstopu iz letala tudi prevzemite.
Varnostna pravila
Evropska unija (EU) je v letu 2006 sprejela nova varnostna pravila. Ta omejujejo
količino tekočin, ki jo lahko vzamete s seboj na letalo.
V svoji ročni prtljagi lahko prenašate samo majhne količine tekočin, ki
morajo biti shranjene v posamičnih posodah z največjo prostornino 100

{ Adria Airways }
mililitrov. Te posode morate zapakirati v prozorno plastično vrečko, ki jo je
mogoče znova zatesniti; prostornina vrečke posameznega potnika ne sme
biti večja od enega litra. Med tekočine spadajo: voda in druge pijače; juhe in
sirupi; kreme, losjoni in olja; parfumi; razpršilci; geli, vključno z geli za lase
in tuširanje; posode z vsebinami pod pritiskom, vključno s peno za britje ter
drugimi penami in dezodoranti; kreme, vključno z zobno kremo; mešanice
tekočih in trdnih snovi; črtalo za veke in tuš za trepalnice ter katerekoli druge
snovi s podobno vsebnostjo.
Še vedno lahko tekočine prenašate v oddani prtljagi – nova pravila se nanašajo
samo na ročno prtljago. V svoji ročni prtljagi lahko prenašate:
• zdravila in nujno potrebna živila (vključno z otroško hrano), ki jih boste uporabljali
med potovanjem; morda boste morali dokazati, da jih nujno potrebujete;
• tekočine, kot so pijače in parfumi (kupite jih lahko bodisi v prodajalni na
letališču EU, ki je za točko, na kateri pokažete svoj vstopni kupon, ali pa na
letalu, ki ga upravlja prevoznik EU).
Če ste tekočine kupili zapakirane v posebni zatesnjeni vrečki, te vrečke
pred pregledom ne odpirajte, sicer lahko varnostno osebje na kontrolni
točki njeno vsebino zaseže. (Če na letališču EU presedate na drug let, vrečke
ne odpirajte pred varnostnim pregledom na transfernem letališču ali na
zadnjem letališču, če presedate več kot enkrat.)
Če imate kakršnekoli dvome ali vprašanja, se pred potovanjem obrnite na
svojega letalskega prevoznika ali potovalno agencijo.
Med letom
Napotki za varnost
Z najpomembnejšimi varnostnimi napotki vas bo pred poletom seznanilo
naše kabinsko osebje, poleg tega pa boste v žepu sedeža pred sabo našli navodila
za postopke v sili. Ker se glede na tip letala ta navodila razlikujejo, vas
prosimo, da jih pred vsakim poletom pazljivo preučite.
Med vzletanjem in pristajanjem si morate pripeti varnostni pas, zaradi varnosti
in udobja pa vam priporočamo, da ostanete pripeti tudi med poletom.
Po pristanku počakajte na svojem sedežu, dokler se letalo popolnoma ne
ustavi oziroma dokler ne ugasne znak za obvezno uporabo varnostnih pasov.
Kapitan letala lahko podeli potniku, ki se v letalu neprimerno vede, tako
imenovani RDEČI KARTON. Ta je namenjen vsem, ki s svojim vedenjem ovirajo
delo kabinskega osebja, ne spoštujejo varnostnih pravil ali pa ogrožajo
varnost in udobje sopotnikov. Napad na varnost zračnega prometa je kaznivo
dejanje po 330. členu Kazenskega zakonika RS (KZ-1), ki za tovrstna dejanja
predpisuje zaporno kazen.
Uporaba elektronskih naprav
V letalu ni dovoljeno uporabljati prenosnih telefonov (biti morajo popolnoma
izključeni!), radijskih in televizijskih sprejemnikov, videoiger z daljinskim
upravljanjem, računalniških tiskalnikov in drugih naprav, ki bi z elektromagnetnimi
valovi lahko motile delovanje občutljivih letalskih instrumentov.
Druge elektronske naprave, kot so prenosni računalniki, CD in DVD predvajalniki
ter žepni kalkulatorji, je dovoljeno uporabljati le med poletom (če ne
povzročajo motenj), med vzletanjem in pristajanjem pa ne. Prosimo vas, da se
pred uporabo elektronskih naprav posvetujete s kabinskim osebjem in dosledno
upoštevate njihove napotke.
Nevarni predmeti
Po mednarodnih varnostnih predpisih potnikom v letalu ni dovoljeno imeti
(ne pri sebi ne v prtljagi) orožja in drugih nevarnih predmetov, kot so: vnetljive
tekočine, pločevinke s stisnjenim ali utekočinjenim plinom, lahko vnetljive
snovi, vžigalice, ki niso označene kot varne, in podobno.
Počutje in zdravje
Vašemu dobremu počutju sta namenjena ventil za uravnavanje dotoka zraka
in lučka za branje, ki sta nameščena nad sedežem. Tam je tudi pozivni gumb,
s katerim lahko po potrebi pokličete stevardeso.
V letalu je na voljo priročna lekarna, opremljena s sredstvi za nudenje prve
pomoči. Med poletom lahko včasih v ušesih občutite neprijeten pritisk, do katerega
prihaja zaradi sprememb višine in zračnega pritiska v letalu; težavo boste
zlahka odpravili s poudarjenim požiranjem sline ali z nakazanim zehanjem.
Da bi se izognili težavam z ožiljem, ko gre za dolg polet, vam svetujemo,
da se večkrat sprehodite po potniški kabini, med sedenjem pa delate vaje za
raztezanje celega telesa.
Alkohol na letalu
V letalu ni dovoljeno uživanje alkoholnih pijač, ki jih prinesete s sabo.
Kabinsko osebje ne sme streči alkoholnih pijač osebam, ki kažejo znake
vinjenosti, in osebam, mlajšim od 18 let. Dobronamerno vas opozarjamo, da
alkohol zaradi nekoliko nižjega zračnega pritiska med poletom deluje na telo
hitreje in bolj intenzivno kot na tleh.
Po pristanku
Zamujena, izgubljena ali poškodovana prtljaga
Če bi med vašim potovanjem prišlo do nepravilnega ravnanja z vašo registrirano
prtljago (velja tudi za prtljago, oddano pred letalom), zadevo takoj
po prihodu prijavite na letališču pri ustrezni službi (Izgubljeno/Najdeno,
Lost&Found, Arrival Service). Telefonska številka + 386 (0 ) 25 94 339.
Center za stike s potniki
V Adrijinem Centru za stike s potniki lahko dobite vse informacije o naši
ponudbi in novostih, pa tudi pomoč ali nasvet.
Sem lahko potniki posredujete pritožbo ali odškodninski zahtevek, veseli pa
bomo tudi pohvale. Na naš center se lahko obrnete osebno, pisno, po elektronski
pošti prc@adria.si ali po telefonu na brezplačno številko 080 13 03 za klice
znotraj Slovenije oziroma kot doslej na telefonsko številko +386 (0)1 369 11 33.
Najemi avtomobilov in hoteli
Na Adrijini spletni strani smo pred kratkim dodali zavihka Rent-a-car in
Hoteli, ki vam omogočata najugodnejše najeme vozil in rezervacije hotelskih
namestitev. Zelo enostavno: obiščite www.adria.si in poiščite željeni zavihek.
Na voljo je nekaj deset tisoč hotelskih objektov na vseh kontinentih, od tistih
z eno zvezdico do prestižnih mednarodnih verig. Pri Budget-u lahko najamete
vozila na več kot 3.400 lokacijah v 128 državah po celem svetu.

Adria Airways Welcomes You Aboard
( 122 )
Dear passengers, your satisfaction is our success. In order to ensure that your Adria flight is as pleasant
as possible, allow us to draw your attention to certain points that are important for your comfort and safety
before take-off, during the flight and after landing.
Before take-off
Economy and business class
The majority of Adria routes are served by the following aircraft: Airbus A319
and A320, Bombardier CRJ-200 LR and CRJ-900.
A business-class ticket is issued according to the current business-class
tariff and is valid for one year. The ticket can be booked, paid for and picked
up at any time and includes other advantages such as changing the date of
travel without additional charge, a larger free baggage allowance, the use of
business lounges at airports, etc.
Economy class is for passengers with economy-class tickets, which are
cheaper and carry certain restrictions.
Online ticketing
The cheapest and quickest way to book a flight and buy a ticket is to visit
Adria's website at www.adria.si. This only applies to flights operated by
Adria. Online purchases are protected by a security certificate. Passengers
receive their electronic tickets via e-mail.
If you require a ticket that will also include other carriers, please contact
our Call Centre for Reservations and Ticket Sales on: 386 1 369 10 10 or 080 13 00.
Travel with an electronic ticket
You can travel with an electronic ticket on all Adria Airways scheduled flights.
On purchasing a ticket, passengers receive a passenger coupon and itinerary in
an Adria Airways cover. You can also receive the document via e-mail and print
it yourself. You must keep this document with you throughout the journey. At
the check-in, present your passport or identity card. The check-in personnel will
issue you with your boarding pass. Electronic documentation of the ticket sale
means that the ticket status can be verified at any time. It also facilitates rapid
transfer of data and reduces the chance of abuse. Most importantly, there is no
danger of losing the boarding pass, since it is stored in electronic form.
check-in service is a new service that lets you save time at the check-in desk:
because you can check in from home or office – or anywhere with an Internet connection.
You can check in as early as 24 hours and up to 60 minutes before your
scheduled departure time. Web check-in is currently only available on selected
Adria flights. In the coming months new destinations will gradually be added.
Restrictions on bringing food into the EU
We advise passengers to check the list of articles that may be brought into
the EU before travelling. Strict controls of the import of meat, milk, fish,
shellfish and products derived from them is necessary to protect people and
animals from the diseases that they can transmit.
If customs officials discover prohibited foodstuffs of animal origin during
routine luggage checks, they will be confiscated. The informative leaflet
“What to bring home” is available on our website.
More information is available from the Veterinary Administration of the
Republic of Slovenia or on its website http://www.vurs.gov.si/ under the section
Public Announcements/Import of Foodstuffs for Personal Use.
Carry-on baggage
For your safety and comfort, we ask you to observe international rules that
permit passengers to have one piece of carry-on baggage of a maximum size
of 55 x 40 x 23 cm and a maximum weight of 8 kg.
Carry-on baggage should be placed in the overhead bins. Heavier items
may be stored under the seat in front of you if possible.
We recommend that you take care when opening the overhead bins as
items may have moved during the flight and may fall out.
If your flight is on a CRJ aircraft, larger items of carry-on baggage must be surrendered
on boarding. They will be returned to you when you leave the aircraft.
Adria Airways on mobile phones
To all smartphone users – we would like to inform you that you can now set
our mobile site, m.adria.si, on your mobile browser or scan your QR code
with a barcode scanner.
If you do not have a barcode scanner, you can download one by clicking the
following link http://www.i-nigma.com/Downloadi-nigmaReader.html. iPhone
users can find this in the iStore.
The mobile site provides information on the following: flight status, timetables,
destinations and weather conditions.
In addition, you will also find the following:
travellers guide, tourist guide, our contact details
and various links to: baggage tracking, searches
by airport business lounge, and frequent flyer
miles in the Miles & More Club.
Of course, you can also find news, the hottest
ticket price bids and “checkmytrip” where you
can check information on your trip.
Web Check-in
At Adria we are aware that every minute is precious when you are travelling.
Especially when heavy traffic holds you up on the way to the airport. The web
EU airport security rules
In 2006 the European Union adopted new security rules that restrict the
amount of liquids that passengers can take aboard aircraft.
You are only allowed to take small quantities of liquids in your hand luggage.
These liquids must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity
of 100 millilitres each. These containers must be packed in one transparent
re-sealable plastic bag of not more than one litre capacity per passenger.
Liquids include: water and other drinks, soups, syrups; creams, lotions and

{ Adria Airways }
oils; perfumes; sprays; gels, including hair and shower gels; contents of pressurised
containers, including shaving foam, other foams and deodorants;
pastes, including toothpaste; liquid-solid mixtures; mascara; any other item
of similar consistency.
You can still:
• pack liquids in bags that you check in – the new rules only affect hand luggage;
• carry in your hand luggage medicines and dietary requirements, including baby
foods, for use during the trip. You may be asked for proof that they are needed;
• buy liquids such as drinks and perfumes in an EU airport shop when located
beyond the point where you show your boarding pass or on board an aircraft
operated by an EU airline. If they are sold in a special sealed bag, do not open
it before you are screened – otherwise the contents may be confiscated at the
checkpoint. (If you transfer at an EU airport, do not open the bag before screening
at your airport of transfer, or at the last one if you transfer more than once).
If you have any doubts, please ask your airline or travel agent in advance of
travel.
During the flight
with remote control, computer printers and other devices emitting electromagnetic
waves which could interfere with sensitive aircraft systems.
Other electronic devices such as portable computers, CD and DVD players
and pocket calculators may only be used during the flight (if they do not
cause a disturbance). They may not be used during take-off and landing.
Please check with the cabin crew before using electronic devices and be sure
to follow their instructions.
Hazardous items
Under international safety regulations air passengers may not transport,
either on their person or in their luggage, weapons and other hazardous
items such as flammable liquids, compressed or liquefied gas cylinders, highly
inflammable materials, matches (except safety matches), and so on.
Comfort and health
For your comfort, an adjustable air vent and a reading light are located above
your seat. There is also a button which you can use to call a member of the
cabin crew if necessary.
The aircraft is equipped with a first aid kit. During the flight you may feel
an uncomfortable pressure in your ears. This is caused by changes in altitude
and the air pressure in the aircraft; swallowing or yawning will help relieve
the discomfort.
In order to avoid vein problems associated with long flights, we advise you
to take frequent walks up and down the cabin and to do stretching exercises
for the whole body while seated.
Alcohol on board
Consuming alcoholic beverages that you have brought on board the aircraft
yourself is not permitted. The cabin crew is not allowed to serve alcohol to
passengers who show signs of intoxication or to passengers under 18 years
old. Please bear in mind that because of the lower air pressure during flight,
alcohol has a faster and stronger effect than on the ground.
( 123 )
Safety information
Our cabin crew will give you important safety information before take-off.
You will find instructions for emergency procedures in the pocket of the seat
in front of you. Since these procedures differ depending on the type of aircraft,
we ask you to read the instructions carefully before every flight.
During take-off and landing you must fasten your seatbelt. For your own
safety and comfort we also recommend that you leave it fastened during the
flight. After landing, wait in your seat until the aircraft comes to a complete
stop or until the seatbelt sign is switched off.
The captain can issue a passenger who acts inappropriately on the aircraft
with what is called a RED CARD. The red card is intended for anyone
whose behaviour obstructs the work of the cabin crew, who does not observe
safety instructions or who threatens the safety and comfort of passengers.
Unacceptable behaviour on board an aircraft is a violation of the law. Placing
air traffic in jeopardy is a criminal offence in accordance with Article 330 of
the Criminal Code of the Republic of Slovenia (KZ-1), carrying with it the penalty
of imprisonment.
Use of electronic devices
Use of the following devices is not permitted aboard the aircraft: mobile
phones (they must be switched off!), radios and televisions, video games
After landing
Delayed, lost and damaged baggage
If problems occur with your checked baggage during your journey (also applies
to luggage surrendered on boarding), contact the appropriate service as
soon as you arrive at the airport (Lost & Found, Arrival Service, etc.)
Passenger Relations Centre
Adria's Passenger Relations Centre provides you with news and information
about our services and can also offer assistance and advice.
Passengers can submit complaints or compensation claims, and praise is

Star Alliance partnerstvo
Adria Airways je letalski prevoznik z več kot 50-letnimi izkušnjami v čarterskem
in rednem prometu. Uspešno sodeluje v evropskih integracijskih tokovih in se
partnersko povezuje z drugimi letalskimi prevozniki. Decembra 2004 se je Adria
kot regionalna članica pridružila največjemu globalnemu združenju letalskih
prevoznikov Star Allianceu, z januarjem 2010 pa je napredovala v polnopravno
članico združenja.
Potnikom tako zagotavljamo vse prednosti, ki jih prinaša izboljšan dostop do
svetovnega omrežja prevoznikov, združenih v Star Allianceu. V povezavi s partnerji

Alliancea, kot so: prijava na let do končne destinacije, priznavanje statusa, vstop

pogoste potnike. Za številne destinacije po svetu so vam na voljo potovanja po

largest airline alliance, as a regional member and later became a full member
in January 2010.
Our customers now benefit from improved access to the world-wide Star
Alliance network. In connection with our partners, we offer access to a global
network of flights on 27 airlines, which offer more than 21,000 flights daily

pohištvo, ali pa s fotografijo prehoda za prednostno prijavo na let enoletno
prednostno obravnavo z osebnim asistentom.
Priborite si lahko tudi številne druge tedenske nagrade, na primer povratne
vozovnice v poslovnem razredu, dizajnerske potovalne kovčke in nočitev v
hotelskem apartmaju s 5 zvezdicami.
Aplikacijo lahko prenesete brezplačno in je zdaj na voljo za iPhone, Android
in Blackberry. Obiščite torej našo trgovino s telefonskimi aplikacijami še danes

website, www.adria.si.
Collecting miles
You can collect miles within the entire Star Alliance network. You can also
collect additional miles through hotel stays, car rental, telephone calls,
purchases at selected shops and using your credit cards.
Miles & More members in Slovenia also receive miles when you use the

on Star Alliance member routes, upgrades to business class, holiday travel
and various purchases.
Membership cards
You become a club member as soon as you join. Accumulating the required
number of miles in a calendar year leads to higher levels of membership:
silver member or Frequent Traveller, or gold member or Senator, or HON
Circle Member. A higher level of membership offers you special benefits.
Always have your membership card on hand, because you’ll need it to
register miles, claim benefits and request awards.
