Adria smo ljudjeNenad DjokovićKo prideš do Finisterre,se prerodiš …Pogovarjala se je Barbara M. BukovecFotografije: osebni arhivFinisterra ali »konec sveta« ob Atlantskemoceanu je cilj mnogih popotnikov, ki seodpravijo na eno od romarskih poti s skupnimimenom El Camino de Santiago – Jakobova potali krajše Camino. Ta del španske obale že vsvojem imenu, ki izvira še iz rimskih časov, nosiposebno simboliko. Romar se že s prihodom nagrob sv. Jakoba v Santiagu očisti svojih grehov;če pa potem naredi še pot do obale, ki znašadodatnih 88 kilometrov, se popolnoma prerodi.Nenad Djoković je zaposlen v Adrii v Oddelku tehnološke pripraveletenja, službi, ki pred poletom posreduje pilotom vse potrebneinformacije. V 23. dneh je prehodil 958 kilometrov dolgo Jakobovopot, in to ne le enkrat.16 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Nenad, kaj te je tako zelo pritegnilo, da si pot prehodil kardvakrat?Vse skupaj se je začelo čisto po naključju. Prijatelja sta prehodilaCamino in po povratku pripovedovala toliko zanimivega, da sem seodločil, da bi rad to tudi sam doživel. S soprogo sva prvič odšla naCamino leta 2009 s prijatelji in ta lepa izkušnja naju je tako prevzela,da sva leta 2014 pot prehodila še enkrat.Za to pot se odloča veliko ljudi iz različnih razlogov: verskih,rekreacijskih, meditativnih, predvsem pa osebnih. Nekateri svojeizkušnje delijo s pisanjem, drugi s potopisnimi predavanji …, avsak popotnik doživi svojo lastno, edinstveno izkušnjo, ki se težkoprimerja s katerokoli drugo. Mene so na primer spraševali, če se nebojim hoditi Camino s svojo ženo, saj se je tudi že zgodilo, da stase zakonca po vrnitvi ločila. Pot Camino je namreč »popotovanjev svojo notranjost« in zelo lahko se zgodi marsikaj ..., tudi to, daspoznaš, da tisto, kar si v življenju počel do sedaj, ni tisto »pravo«.Moj veliki prijatelj in brat, kanadski Indijanec Tim Sikyea, je dejal:»Ljudje, ki veliko razmišljajo in mislijo, niso nikoli prepričani, davedo. Tisti pa, ki v nekaj verjamejo, naredijo akcijo, ki sproži reakcijo.S tem pridemo do izkušnje, ki nas stimulira – fizično, čustveno,mentalno, duhovno … Govôri le o tem, kar si izkusil, saj le tozagotovo veš.«In tudi zato nameravava v prihodnje prehoditi še druge poti.Veliko jih je in najdeš jih povsod. Letos v oktobru planirava aktivniizlet v Čile, Bolivijo in Peru.Poti do »konca sveta« je več, katero si izbral ti? Kakšne ljudi sisrečeval na poti?Izbrala sva pot iz male vasice Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (Francija),se vzpela čez Pireneje in po prehojenih 958 km prispela do Fisterre –»konca sveta« – v Španiji.Med potjo srečuješ različne ljudi različnih ver in barve. Zelo lepoje videti vesele ljudi in – kakor koli že: vsi imajo en sam cilj, in to jeprehoditi Jakobovo pot. Ni pomembno, s kakšnim razlogom se kdoodpravi na pot, v vsakem primeru je to delo s samim seboj. Imašmožnost razrešiti veliko problemov, katerih povzročitelj si vednosam. Zaveš se, kako malo je potrebno za srečno in veselo življenje,zaveš se pravih vrednot …, dežja, sonca, vetra ... Spoznaš, kaj pomenipožirek vode, ko si žejen, in kos kruha, ko si lačen. Ugotoviš, da živišv svetu iluzij in da postajaš odvisen od nepomembnih stvari, ki jih vresnici ne potrebuješ. To, kar potrebuješ, je radost, veselje, sreča …,preprosto – življenje.Mati Zemlja nam daje vse, kar potrebujemo za življenje, vse nam jedano, samo odločiti se moramo, kaj resnično v življenju potrebujemo.Je kakšna posebna izkušnja, ki bi jo rad delil z vsemi tistimi, kisi tudi želimo prehoditi El Camino?Zanimivo … Zelo močno se mi je vtisnil v spomin nenavaden govoravstralskega župnika v katedrali v Santiagu. Citiram: »Pozdravljeni,pohodniki in romarji. Vesel sem, da sem del vaše poti in da vas tukajlahko pozdravim. Na poti vas je spremljal duh sv. Jakoba, ki je varuhAdria smo ljudje | 17

Adria smo ljudjevseh romarjev in popotnikov. To, kar vidite v tej prelepi katedrali, jedelo ljudi. Za to katedralo pa je umrlo veliko ljudi, da je takšna, kotje. Zavedajte se, da je Bog – stvarnik v vsakem od vas samih. Najlepšain edina od Boga dana katedrala je naša prelepa Mati Zemlja. Imejtejo radi, spoštujte njene darove, ki vam jih daje, in obnašajte se do njetako kot do svojega najdražjega …«Pa spoznala sva par, ki ga je resnično združila Jakobova pot.Povedala sta nama svojo lepo, romantično zgodbo.Kar se tiče izkušenj, lahko povem samo to, da je zelo pomembno,da imaš odprto srce in um in da se prepustiš vsemu, kar ti pride napot. Se je zgodilo, da sem ženi po 30 km omenil, da bi šla naprej šeza eno postajo, to pomeni, da ne bi prespala v albergu (op. preprosthotel na poti), do katerega je bilo še 5 km. Ko sva prišla do vasice,sva ugotovila, da ravno v tej vasici nimajo niti enega prenočišča, sajje bila še predsezona. To pa je za naju pomenilo še 7 km hoje. Takratsva se odločila, da se prepustiva …Ali pa: zaželela sva si, da bi bila v enem albergu sama, saj sem ravnov tem času praznoval svoj rojstni dan. In ne boste verjeli: naslednjeprenočišče je bilo prazno, brez popotnikov. Takšni in drugačničudeži se na Caminu vrstijo eden za drugim.Zakaj bi še enkrat prehodil Camino? Ne enkrat, še večkrat bi gaprehodil zato, ker ob tem doživim neskončen mir v srcu in duši.Spoznavam prelepo pokrajino, prijazne ljudi in seveda to, kakopomembno je biti zadovoljen s tem, kar si in kar imaš.18 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Nenad DjokovićWhen you reach Finisterreyou are reborn…In conversation with Barbara M. BukovecPhotographs: personal archiveCape Finisterre (from finis terrae meaning “end of theearth”), jutting out into the Atlantic, is the destinationof many of the travellers who set out on one of thepilgrimage trails collectively known as El Camino deSantiago or the Way of St James. This part of the Spanishcoast contains a special symbolism in its very name,which derives from Roman times. Pilgrims atone for theirsins by walking to the tomb of St James in Santiago deCompostela; if they then continue their journey a further88 kilometres to the coast, they are entirely reborn.Nenad Djoković works in Adria’s Performance and Flight PlanningDepartment, which is responsible for providing pilots with allnecessary information before a flight. He has completed the 958kilometres of the Way of St James in 23 days – and not just once.Adria is About People | 19

Adrijin potnikProf. dr. Igor Bartenjev, dr. med.Zdrave porjavelosti niBesedilo: Matjaž PotokarFotografije: osebni arhivAli današnja civilizacija malikuje mladost ali ji posveča preveč pozornosti ali se nam to samo zdi? Vprašanje bibilo vredno zastaviti mnogim, zdi pa se, da je lahko eden bolj poklicanih za odgovor tudi profesor dermatologije,dr. Igor Bartenjev. Koža odraža dogajanja v našem telesu. Pa ji lahko prihranimo staranje ali jo celo pomlajamo?Njegova maksima »zdrave porjavelosti ni« ne pusti nikogar mlačnega. To pa seveda ne pomeni, da ne smemona sonce, pravi. Ko se je profesorjev stari oče preselil iz carske Rusije v naše kraje, ni niti slutil, da bodo njegovipotomci postali pomembni zdravniki in profesorji. Na svoje ruske korenine gleda dr. Bartenjev s spoštovanjem, ane brez kritične distance. Ko je bil nekaj časa podpredsednik društva Slovenija Rusija, se je v jezikovni šoli svoježene, kjer so se učili tudi slovenski diplomati in gospodarstveniki, začel učiti rusko. Na to je še danes ponosen. Radse spomni tudi na številna priložnostna dela, s katerimi si je v času študija služil žepnino. Bil je prav malo manekenpa tudi član kabinskega osebja pri Adrii Airways. Na osemdeseta leta, ko se je »zastrupil« z letalstvom, ima šeposebej lepe spomine. Izvrstna družba in neposredna povezava z zunanjim svetom sta ga precej bolj zabavali kothoja po modnih brveh. Danes poleg prakse na svoji kliniki tudi poučuje na ljubljanski Medicinski fakulteti, naKatedri za dermatovenerologijo. Profesor Bartenjev je zanimiv človek. Njegovi odgovori na vprašanja o načinihpreseganja starosti so strokovni in zanimivi.Kako ste zašli v svet letalstva?Po četrtem letniku medicine sem se prijavil na razpis za kabinskoosebje. Opravil sem izpite in so me sprejeli. Moj oče je bil, zdravniškemupoklicu navkljub, varčen človek, zato sem si denar za »sproti« zaslužilsam. Takrat se z njim morda nisem najbolj strinjal, danes pa vidim,da sem se tako tudi marsičesa naučil. Že pred tem sem se preizkusil vmnogih zaposlitvah, a mi nobena ni tako segla v srce kot letalska. Bilo jeleta 1982. Zaradi omejitev v takratni Jugoslaviji mi je letenje omogočilostik s »svobodnim« svetom in nakup marsikatere dobrine, ki smo jov takratni državi pogrešali. Počutil sem se kot bančni direktor pa tudidružba je bila na letenju izvrstna. Če danes pogledam nazaj, lahkorečem, da je bilo to zelo srečno obdobje v mojem življenju. Še danessem vznemirjen ob vzletanju in pristajanju letal.Kako pa se je vaš dedek znašel v teh krajih?Ded Dimitrij Bartenjev je bil oficir v carski armadi in je po revolucijipribežal v te kraje. Bil je izgnanec, ki se ni mogel vrniti. Razumeli boste,da s Sovjetsko zvezo zato nismo bili nikoli na ti. Spomnim se, da jeigral violino, gledal hokej in zraven jokal. Takrat nisem razumel, zakaj,danes pa to globoko narodnostno čustvo razumem. Če grem v Rusijo,čutim svojo pripadnost deželi; za Ameriko recimo tega ne morem reči.V veliki deželi je narodna zavest visoka in dušo ti dejansko prežemaobčutje pripadnosti. Mislim, da nam Slovencem tega čustva manjka.Ko sem pozneje kot podpredsednik Društva prijateljstva SlovenijaRusija prihajal v stik z veleposlaniki in konzuli, nikoli nisem občutilnikakršnega političnega pritiska ali zamere zaradi usode deda Dimitrija.Seveda pa je za taka čustva treba »priti« vsaj v srednja leta, ko zares26 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Adria Passengerzačutiš svoje korenine. S svojim sinom Markom Sergejem se recimo otem še ne pogovarjava.V zadnjem času lahko pogosto slišimo in beremo, da je sončenješkodljivo. Kakšno je vaše mnenje?Genska struktura kože je osnovno merilo, vendar strup vedno narediprevelika količina. Sonce je za kožo obremenitev. Če se opečeš enkratali nekajkrat v življenju, to ne predstavlja večjega problema. Če pa seto dogaja iz dneva v dan, se lahko pojavijo hude bolezni. Seveda jepoleg kože treba upoštevati tudi druge organe, ki jim sonce zagotovokoristi. Lahko rečem, da je del gonje proti sončenju zagotovo povezantudi s poskusom povečevanja prodaje farmacevtske zaščite protisoncu. Žal je sončenje edini dejavnik, na katerega lahko sami zavestnovplivamo. Sončni žarki res lahko izzovejo vse vrste raka kože, tudimaligni melanom. Melanomi predstavljajo približno 5 % kožnih rakov,odgovorni pa so za več kot 90 % smrti zaradi kožnega raka. A dobranovica je, da lahko večino malignih melanomov ozdravimo, če jih lepravočasno odkrijemo.Po drugi strani pa je sonce v primerih luskavice precej manj škodljivokot recimo citostatiki, ki jih posamezni zdravniki tudi predpisujejo.Ne bi mogel trditi, da je v zadnjih letih bolezni kože več kot nekdaj,zagotovo pa so se pojavile nove bolezni. Na primer: v sedemdesetih sonemški dermatologi opisali danes zelo pogosto bolezen – perioralnidermatitis. Popularno so temu rekli »bolezen stevardes«. Govorimo kožni bolezni, pri kateri se predvsem okoli ust pojavljajo rdečkastespremembe, ki spominjajo na akne. Gre za hormonsko in okoljskokombinacijo, ki je je danes zaradi načina in pogojev življenja precej več.Takrat pa so jo zaradi specifičnih delovnih pogojev, kot sta suh zrak inuporaba ličil, najprej opazili pri letalskem osebju.Kakšen nasvet pa lahko daste tistim, ki želijo svojo kožoohraniti mlado?Večji del je povezan z dedno zasnovo, drug del pa z okoljem, vkaterem posameznik živi in deluje. Ustrezna kombinacija med obemadejavnikoma lahko precej zaustavi staranje kože. Danes vemo, da nakožo in sploh na staranje organizma vplivajo predvsem različna vnetja,ki jih je s starostjo vedno več. Na srečo pa lahko danes nastalo škodona koži že kar uspešno popravimo. Če gre za vrhnjico, jo preprostouničimo, tako da zraste nova, boljša. Druga možnost je spodbujanjerasti kolagena v koži. Znamo ga tudi že odvzeti mladim, da bi jim galahko v starosti vrnili, če bi ga potrebovali. Sicer pa proti staranju kožev medicini štejejo štirje principi: nutricevtika (pravilno hranjenje),farmacevtika (pravilno dodajanje potrebnih snovi) ter neinvazivno ininvazivno popravljanje. Osebno sicer nisem največji pristaš pretiranegapopravljanja, vendar mu ne nasprotujem, če je res potrebno.ProfessorIgor Bartenjev MD, PhDNo Such Thingas a Healthy TanText: Matjaž Potokar Photographs: personal archiveDoes today’s civilisation idolise youth and devote toomuch attention to it, or is that just our impression? Thisis a question that would be worth putting to many people,but perhaps one of those better qualified to answer it isdermatology professor Igor Bartenjev. Our skin reflectswhat is going on in our bodies. But can we stop it fromageing or even rejuvenate it? Professor Bartenjev’s maxim“there’s no such thing as a healthy tan” is one that raiseseyebrows. But of course it doesn’t mean that we shouldnever go out in the sun, he says. When the professor’sgrandfather moved to this country from tsarist Russia, hecould not have imagined that his descendants would oneday become important doctors and professors. ProfessorBartenjev respects his Russian roots while at the same timemaintaining a certain critical distance. During his term asvice president of the Slovenia–Russia Friendship Societyhe began learning Russian at his wife’s language school,alongside Slovene diplomats and members of the businesscommunity. He is still proud of this today. He also likes toremember the many part-time jobs he did to earn pocketmoney in his student days. He worked – briefly – as amodel and was also an Adria Airways cabin crew member.He has particularly fond memories of the 1980s, which iswhen he fell in love with flying. Excellent company anddirect contact with the outside world were a lot morefun than strutting down the catwalk at a fashion show.Today, as well as practising at his own clinic, he teachesat the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana, where he holdsthe Chair of Dermatovenerology. Professor Bartenjev isan interesting man. His answers to questions about waysto beat ageing are interesting and well-informed.28 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

How did you end up in the world of aviation?After finishing my fourth year at medical school I answered anadvertisement for cabin crew. I sat the tests and they accepted me.My father was, despite being a doctor, a thrifty man, so if I wantedspending money I had to earn it myself. I may not have agreed withhim at the time, but today I can see that I learnt a lot from this.I had already tried a lot of different jobs before then, but none ofthem spoke to me in the way that flying did. This was back in 1982.Because of the various restrictions in Yugoslavia of that time, flyingoffered me contact with the “free” world and the chance to buy manyconsumer goods that were not to be found in the country at the time.I felt like a bank manager! I also enjoyed the company very much. IfI look back today, I can say that this was an extremely happy periodof my life. I still find taking off and landing an exciting experience.How did your grandfather adapt to life in this country?My grandfather Dmitri Bartenev was an officer in the imperialRussian army who fled to this country after the October Revolution.He was an exile who was unable to return to his homeland. I’m sureyou can understand that for this reason we were never on good termswith the Soviet Union. I remember my grandfather playing the violinand crying as he watched ice hockey on television. I didn’t understandwhy at the time, but today I can empathise with this profound nationalsentiment. When I go to Russia I feel a sense of belonging; I cannotsay the same thing about America, for example. In a big country,national awareness is strong and your spirit is pervaded with a senseof belonging. I think this feeling is something that we Slovenes lack.Later on, when I came into contact with ambassadors and consuls inmy role as vice president of the Slovenia–Russia Friendship Society, Inever experienced any kind of political pressure or resentment overthe fate of my grandfather. You have to wait at least until middle ageto develop such feelings, since it is only then that you really start tobe aware of your roots. It is not something that my son Mark Sergejand I talk about, for example – at least not yet.Recently it has become common to hear or read that sunbathingis harmful. What is your opinion on this?The genetic structure of the skin is the essential criterion, but thedamage is always done by excessive quantities. The sun is a stressfactor for the skin. If you get sunburnt once or twice in your life, itis not a big problem. But if it happens on a day-to-day basis, seriousdiseases can result. As well as the skin, of course, it is importantto take into account the other organs that benefit from exposure tothe sun. It is probably fair to say that part of the campaign againstsunbathing is linked to an attempt to increase sales of pharmaceuticalsun protection products. Unfortunately, sunbathing is the only factorthat we can consciously influence. The sun’s rays really can cause allkinds of skin cancer, including malignant melanoma. Melanomasaccount for roughly 5% of skin cancers but are responsible for morethan 90% of skin cancer deaths.The good news is that the majorityof malignant melanomas can be cured, provided we catch them intime.In cases of psoriasis, on the other hand, the sun is a lot less harmfulthan the cytostatic drugs prescribed by some doctors. I would notlike to claim that the incidence of skin disease has increased inrecent years, but there is no doubt that new forms have appeared. Forexample: in the 1970s German dermatologists described a diseasethat is today very common – perioral dermatitis. This was popularlyknown as “stewardess’s disease”. I’m talking about a skin diseasewhere an acne-like rash appears, particularly in the area aroundthe mouth. This is a hormonal and environmental combinationwhich is increasingly common today as a result of lifestyle and otherconditions. Back then it was first observed in airline staff, because ofspecific working conditions such as dry air and the use of make-up.What advice can you give to those who want to keep their skinlooking young?A lot of it is to do with genes, while part of it depends on theenvironment in which an individual lives and works. A suitablecombination of these two factors can be effective in halting theageing of the skin. Today we know that the skin and the ageing ofthe organism in general are influenced in particular by variousinflammations, which increase in number as we get older. Fortunatelythese days we are fairly good at repairing damaged skin. In the caseof the epidermis, we simply destroy it so that a new, better outer layercan grow. Another possibility is to promote the growth of collagen inthe skin. We are now able to remove collagen from young people so asto be able to give it back to them when they are older if they need it.Apart from that, medical science recognises four principles in the fightagainst ageing of the skin: nutraceutics (correct diet), pharmaceutics(correct addition of necessary substances), non-invasive repairs andinvasive repairs. Personally I’m not a big fan of excessive repair work,but I am not opposed to it when it is necessary. •Adria Passenger | 29

LondonLondonin SummerText: Alja BukovecPhotographs: ShutterstockIn the summer months the proverbially grey and rainy London comes to lifeout of doors – outside its red-brick walls, under trees, on the broad grassyexpanses of the city parks and on the lively river embankments. Not eventhe occasional shower (we are in London after all!) can spoil the traditionaljostling with a pint in your hand outside a pub, or evening gatherings withjugs of Pimm’s in gardens or on terraces with a view of the endless urbanfabric that never really stops and is never really silent.In these warmer months of the year, almostall of London’s parks are transformed intovenues for concerts, plays and exhibitionsof the highest calibre. So as well as seeing allthe conventional sights – from the Housesof Parliament and Big Ben and the changingof the guard at Buckingham Palace to a visitto Chinatown and a walk down Piccadillyamong the throngs of tourists – it is worthadding a visit to one of the many outdoorevents, taking the time for a picnic and a lazysprawl on the grass of a park, and setting offaround the city by bicycle, on foot or evenby boat, to discover the London that liesbeyond the classic tourist traps.One such route that allows you to discovervarious parts of London from a slightlydifferent point of view runs along the urbanwaterway that is the Regent’s Canal. This14-kilometre route begins in a small basin inthe west of the city not far from Paddingtonin the charming district known as LittleVenice. This area is famous for its numerouspleasant cafés, restaurants and pubs with atranquil waterside setting. From here you canhead towards central London on foot or bybicycle along the towpath, or even by waterusing one of the wooden boats moored here.34 | Adria Airways In-Flight MagazineFoto: Nicho Södling

Some concertsare also held here.And then, of course, there is the enormousBritish Summer Festival in Hyde Park. Thisyear the main stage will host New Yorkrockers The Strokes, Britain’s own The Who,pop stars Kylie Minogue and Taylor Swift,and many other performers.

Zeleni gričiŠtajerskeBesedilo: Marjan Žiberna Fotografije: Domen GröglPrimorec sem, ki resda živi v Ljubljani, a Štajerska, od koder je mojažena, mi je postala tako domača, da že nekaj let nestrpno čakamna dokončno odobritev svoje prošnje za 'državljanstvo'. A zaspanihuradnikov, kot kaže, ni tako zlahka prebuditi iz dremeža, pa čepravob vsaki priložnosti pojem hvalnice blagodatim prelepe Štajerske …Štajerska | 37

Štajerskapomaga bližnja Drava, v prod katere se razraščajonjene globoke korenine. Da so ji Štajercinamenili himno, torej ni presenečenje.Kot pravijo, so stari trti trdoživki v čast invečno slavo urejene po Štajerskem tudi mnogeslikovite vinske ceste in kleti, kjer zorirujno vince.Na teh poteh si lahko v poletnem oziromajesenskem času ogledate še eno za te konceznačilno 'napravo' – klopotec. Njegova lesena'krila' poganja veter, tako da macleki,kot pravijo lesenim kladivcem, ustvarjajonezgrešljivo melodijo. Z njim so nekoč kmetjeiz zorečih vinogradov odganjali požrešneptiče – vsaj njihov namen je bil tak –, danesNa prvem mestu so, če me vprašate,reči, ki so tesno povezane z njenimizelenimi griči. Na njih namreč lepouspevajo vinogradi, kjer na jesen zori grozdje.Iz njega pa znajo Štajerci, moji bodoči'sodržavljani', pridelovati odlična vina. Mednjimi prevladujejo bela, začenši z renskim inlaškim rizlingom, sivim pinotom, silvancem,rumenim muškatom in še nekaterimi drugimi.Na tem mestu ne bi niti poskušal z blefiranjem– vina delim na dobra, malo manjdobra in slaba. O vinski cvetici, ki poznavalcespominja na vrtnico, janež, akacijo ali šekaj bolj eksotičnega, zato ne bi razpredal, pao gladkosti in še drugih lastnostih vin tudine. Lahko pa z gotovostjo rečem, da vam naŠtajerskem slabega vina zlepa ne bodo postreglioziroma da lahko računate na dobro,če že ne odlično kapljico.Kakorkoli že, s trto in vinom je Štajerskapovezana bržkone že od rimskih časov dalje,neposreden dokaz za zelo dolgo ljubezen paje kar v središču Maribora. Na levem breguDrave, na Lentu, vam s ponosom pokažejoveč kot 400 let staro trto, ki je kot najstarejšana svetu vpisana v Guinnessovo knjigorekordov. Posadili so jo v času, ko so mestooblegali Turki, in čeprav je bila Hiša staretrte, kot nosi ime stavba, ob kateri raste,nekoč del mestnega obzidja, je preživela vsesrdite boje. Ker ji niso mogli do živega nitipožari, ki so uničevali lesena ostrešja srednjeveškihhiš, niti trtna uš, niti zavezniškobombardiranje v drugi svetovni vojni, ji včasihpravijo kar trdoživka.

Štajerskapa je postavljanje klopotcev folklorni običajin priložnost za veselo druženje ter zabavo.Klopotce običajno postavljajo konec julija,ko goduje sv. Jakob, ali nekaj tednov pozneje,za veliki šmaren.Številne vinske kleti imajo svoje dneveodprtih vrat, kjer lahko z doslej morda neznanimivini postanete zelo domači. Še posebej,če jim ne daste kar takoj priložnosti,da bi vam zlezla v glavo, in njihovo pot maloupočasnite s tistim, kar med pitjem zaužijete.Štajerska je kulinarično bogata dežela inna njenem seznamu je veliko jedi, za katerepravijo, da so »težke,« primerne za k vinutorej. Različne vrste mesa so kajpada mednjimi. A kljub temu da sem ponosen lastnikpredpasnika, na katerem piše, da je kralj živaliprašič, je prva stvar, ki mi ob omembištajerske kulinarike pade na pamet, bučnoolje. Priznam, sprva me je spominjalo naolje, ki kaplja iz avtomobilskega motorja,katerega najboljši časi so že davno minili, intakrat sem pač moral svoji tašči diplomatskopritrditi, da se mi zdi njegov okus 'zanimiv'.40 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

O Štajerski bi znal povedatiše veliko lepega .Ni šlo za ljubezen na prvi pogled, a ko sem gaenkrat vzel za svojega, je pri tem tudi ostalo;nekatere vrste solate, začenši z motovilcem,so z bučnim oljem po mojem prepričanjunajboljše.O Štajerski bi znal povedati še veliko lepega.Ne nazadnje tudi na račun njenih termalnihzdravilišč. V enem od njih sem pristalzaradi več let trajajočih težav z vratomin takrat se mi je razjasnilo, zakaj ljudje takoradi zahajajo v terme, o čemer bi pred temznal povedati marsikaj omalovažujočega.Rimljani, antični uživači par excellence, soto zelo dobro vedeli. Že pred skoraj 2000 letiso menda premožni meščani Poetovie, mestaob Dravi, ki bi mu lahko rekli kar Praptuj(današnji Ptuj), znali uživati v razkošju toplihvoda. In če sem si prav zapomnil vsebinočlanka, ki sem ga prebral pred leti, sose ob tem celo sladkali s 'polšjimi lizikami'– na nabodala nataknjenimi pečenimi polhi,prelitimi z medom in potresenimi s sezamovimisemeni.Danes se na šarmantnem Ptuju lahko posladkates specialiteto druge vrste – na festivaluDnevi poezije in vina lahko konecavgusta prisluhnete, kakopak, poeziji.

A ko se občasno slišim sstarim prijateljem, ki mi vsakič z nalezljivimzanosom govori, kako fino je nabijati žogicoin gledati, ali bo šla v pravi smeri, mu zzanimanjem prisluhnem in pomislim, da bimorda lahko tudi sam kdaj poskusil …Štajerska | 41

ŠtajerskaThe Green Hillsof ŠtajerskaText: Marjan ŽibernaPhotographs: Domen GröglOriginally from the Primorska region, I actually live in Ljubljana, butŠtajerska, the northeastern region my wife hails from, has become so muchlike home to me that for some years now I have been impatiently waiting formy application for “citizenship” to be finally approved. It seems, though, thatit is not so easy to wake the sleepy officials from their slumber, despite thefact that I never miss an opportunity to sing the praises of the many wonderswith which beautiful Štajerska is blessed...First and foremost, if you ask me,are the things closely connectedwith the green hills of this regioncorresponding to the southernmost third ofthe former Duchy of Styria, the other twothirds of which today constitute the Austrianstate of Styria or Steiermark. Many of thesehills are in fact planted with flourishingvineyards, where the grapes ripen in autumn.And the people of Štajerska, my future“fellow citizens”, know how to make excellentwines from them. Predominant among themare the whites, starting with Rheinriesling,Welschriesling, Pinot gris, Silvaner, Moscatogiallo, and a number of others. At this point Iam not even going to try and bluff – I dividewines into good, slightly less good and bad.So I am not going to talk about bouquet –hints of rose, anise, acacia or somethingmore exotic, as connoisseurs would haveit – or about smoothness and the otherproperties of wine either. I can, however,state with certainty that you will rarely beserved bad wine in Štajerska, or in otherwords that you can count on a good if notindeed an excellent drop in your glass.42 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Be that as it may, it seems likely that thisregion has had a connection with grapevinesand wine since Roman times, and directproof of this long-lasting love is to be found inthe very centre of Maribor. On the left bankof the Drava, in the Lent district, they willproudly show you a vine that is more than400 years old and appears in the Guinnessbook of records as the oldest vine in theworld. It was planted at a time when the citywas under siege by the Ottoman Turks, andalthough the House of the Old Vine – thename of the building against which the vinegrows – was once part of the city walls, itsurvived all the furious fighting. Havinglived through the fires that destroyed thewooden roofs of the medieval houses, thephylloxera plague and the Allied bombingraids during the Second World War, the vineis sometimes referred to as “the hardy one”.The nearby Drava has certainly helped it tosurvive, since the vine’s roots extend deepinto the gravel of the riverbed. No wonder,then, that the people of Štajerska havededicated a hymn to their vine. In honour ofthe hardy Old Vine, and to its eternal glory,picturesque wine routes and cellars in whichthe dark-red wine is laid down to age can befound throughout Štajerska.If you follow these routes in summeror autumn you may also spot anothercharacteristic feature of this area: the klopotecor bird-scaring rattle. Its wooden blades aredriven by the wind so that the macleki, asthe wooden clappers are known, create theirunmistakable music. Farmers once used thisdevice to drive voracious birds away fromthe ripening grapes in their vineyards – atleast this was the intention – but today theŠtajerska | 43

Štajerskaerecting of a klopotec has become a folktradition and an opportunity for a merrygathering and a party. The rattles are usuallyerected – on long poles – at the end of July,around St James’s Day, or a few weeks later,for the Feast of the Assumption.Numerous wineries have open dayswhere you can get on very familiar termswith wines you may not have encounteredbefore. Especially if you do not give themthe chance to go straight to your head andinstead slow their journey down a little byaccompanying them with something to eat.Štajerska is a gastronomically rich regionand local menus include many dishes thatare said to be “heavy”, in other words ideal foraccompanying wine. These naturally includevarious types of meat. Yet despite being theproud owner of an apron proclaiming thatthe pig is the king of beasts, the first thingthat comes to my mind when Štajerskacuisine is mentioned is pumpkin-seed oil.I admit that initially it reminded me of the44 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

oil that drips from a car engine whose bestdays are long gone, and that back then I wascompelled to use all the diplomacy at mydisposal to assure my mother-in-law thatI found its flavour “interesting”. It may nothave been love at first sight but having oncefound a place in my heart, that is where it hasremained. Some types of salad, starting withlamb’s lettuce, are in my opinion at their verybest when served with pumpkin-seed oil.There are many more nice things I couldsay about Štajerska. Not least about itsthermal spas. I found myself visiting one ofthese because of chronic neck problems fromwhich I had suffered for years, and suddenly itbecame clear to me why people love going tospas – an activity about which I had previouslybeen known to speak rather disdainfully. TheRomans, ancient hedonists par excellence,knew all about spas. Apparently the wealthycitizens of Poetovium, a town on the Dravathat was the predecessor of present-day Ptuj,were accustomed to the luxury of thermalwaters nearly 2,000 years ago. According to anarticle I read some years ago, if I remember itcorrectly, while bathing at the spa they wouldtreat themselves to “dormouse lollipops” –There are many more nice thingsI could say about Štajerska.roast dormice (of the edible variety) stuck onskewers, drenched in honey and sprinkledwith sesame seeds.These days the charming town of Ptuj offersa sweet speciality of another kind: at the Daysof Poetry and Wine Festival in late August youhave the opportunity to listen, as the namesuggests, to poetry. You may think that yourpores are entirely impenetrable to poetry,but that first part of the festival’s name is areference to a remedy that can unexpectedlycause them to open. I speak from personalexperience. Regarding the golf courses thathave established themselves on some ofŠtajerska’s gentler hills, I have nothing to say.At least not for the time being. But I have thisold friend who, every time we speak, talkswith such infectious enthusiasm about howwonderful it is to hit a golf ball and watch tosee whether it will go in the right direction,that I find myself listening with interest, andI am starting to think that perhaps one day Ishould try it for myself... •Štajerska | 45

Če se v zgodnjem jutru pelješ po partizanski magistrali izdolenjske smeri proti Hrvaški, te na vrhu klanca nad Semičempričaka skoraj neresničen prizor. Pod teboj se odpre meglenomorje, iz katerega kot otočki kukajo griči in tu in tam kakcerkveni zvonik. Še bolj dramatičen je prihod z vlakom, ki izteme dvokilometrskega predora plane na svetlo dobesednosredi semiških vinogradov. V študentskih letih, ko smo velikopotovali z železnico, je bila zgodaj spomladi pokrajina predpredorom še zimska, na belokranjski strani pa je bilo zaradivišjih temperatur že vse pisano, kot bi se iz vic pripeljal vraj. Sprevodnik se je rad pošalil: »V Kaliforniji že cvetijopomaranče!« Zato se je našega vlaka prijelo ime ‘kalifornijaekspres’. To je bil vlak, na katerem kljub dveinpolurni vožnjini bilo nikoli dolgčas, ob nedeljah zvečer pa so potovalke, kiso jih z belokranjskimi dobrotami napolnile skrbne matere,poskrbele, da tudi lačni nismo bili.Bela krajina | 47

Dežela, kjer je nebonajširše in so zvezde ponoči najbližje. Dežela,kjer se pokrajina razteza v neskončnostin je ta odprtost pustila pečat tudi njenimprebivalcem.

Tudi našveliki pesnik Oton Župančič, ki se je rodilna Vinici, je vse življenje čutil to njeno močin napisal enega zame najlepših poklonovrodnim krajem: »Devet, deset let te že nisemvidel, beli svet med Gorjanci in Kolpo!Eskimi imajo globoko vero, da človek ne smeostati celo leto od doma, drugače mu izginedomači kraj iz duše in spomina. In meni tečeže deseto leto. Ne, nisem Eskim.«48 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Bela krajina leži na jugovzhodu Slovenije,in čeprav je povsem samosvoja pokrajina, jonepoučeni – mogoče zaradi vinogradov –včasih pripišejo Dolenjski, kar Belokranjcemočno razjezi. S kočevskim pragozdom,najvišjim belokranjskim vrhom Mirno goro(1048 m) in hribovitimi Gorjanci za hrbtomse pod semiškim Smukom (545 m) odtrga odtemačnih gozdov in se kot velikanski akvarelrazlije v razgibano ravnino vse tja do rekeKolpe, ki jo ločuje od Hrvaške. Zakaj ‘bela’,vsi bolj ali manj ugibajo: morda zaradi belihbrez ali zaradi bele narodne noše ali belegalanenega platna. Mogoče ima kaj pri tembela presevajoča svetloba ali pa razpenjenebele brzice številnih kolpskih jezov, ki jimtukaj, mimogrede, rečejo slapovi. »Gremohodit po slapu!« smo govorili, ko smo kotmularija preživljali poletja ob Kolpi inzvenelo je strašno pustolovsko.Ta naša najtoplejša in najčistejša patudi najdaljša kraška reka, ki izvira vGorskem kotarju, je dala ime tudi leta1998 ustanovljenemu Krajinskemu parkuKolpa, enemu od enajstih naravnih parkovSlovenije, ki se razteza od Fučkovcev priAdlešičih do Starega trga ob Kolpi.

Bela KrajinaNostalgiafor Bela KrajinaText: Katarina MahničPhotographs: Iztok DimcDrive along the main road – known as the “Partizanka” – from Dolenjskatowards Croatia in the early morning and you will find an almost unrealscene awaiting you at the top of the slope above Semič. Below you extends asea of fog, from which hills and the occasional church bell tower project likelittle islands. Arriving here by train is even more dramatic, as you emergeinto the daylight from a two-kilometre tunnel right in the middle of theSemič vineyards. Back in our student days, when we travelled by train a lot,the landscape before the tunnel was still wintry in early spring, but on theBela Krajina side everything was already full of colour, because of the highertemperatures, and it was like passing from purgatory to paradise. The trainconductor used to say, jokingly: “In California the orange trees are alreadyin bloom!” And so our train became known as the “California Express”. Thiswas a train on which you were never bored despite the two-and-a-half-hourjourney. On Sunday evenings our travelling bags, which devoted mothers hadfilled with local delicacies, ensured that we were never hungry either.Ifeel myself being carried away, likeeveryone does who writes about BelaKrajina and has even a single drop of BelaKrajina blood in their veins. Because thisis a region you can never shake off once ithas got under your skin. A region where thesky is widest and the stars in the night skyappear closest. A region where the landscapestretches to infinity – and this openness hasalso left its mark on the inhabitants. Whereelse could you return from a walk withyour appetite sated and even a little drunk,although there is only a single vineyardcottage along the way? Even the great Slovenepoet Oton Župančič, who was born in thisregion, in Vinica, felt its power his entire lifeand wrote one of the most beautiful homagesto a birthplace that I have ever read: “Fornine, ten years I have not seen you, o whiteworld between the Gorjanci and the Kolpa!The Eskimos have a belief that a man shouldnot stay a whole year away from home, or hisnative hearth will disappear from his souland his memory. Yet for me the tenth year isalready passing. No, I am no Eskimo.”Bela Krajina (literally the White March;sometimes known as White Carniola inreference to its former status as part of the oldDuchy of Carniola) lies in south-east Sloveniaand although it is unquestionably a regionin its own right, the uninitiated – perhapsbecause of the vineyards – sometimescount it as part of Dolenjska, much to theannoyance of the locals. With the ancientforest of Kočevje, the region’s highest peakMirna Gora (1,048 m) and the hilly Gorjanciat its back, Bela Krajina wrests itself fromthe dark forests below Smuk (545 m) andspreads like a giant watercolour across theundulating plain as far as the river Kolpa,which divides it from Croatia. No one reallyknows where the “white” part of the region’sname comes from: it may be because of thewhite birch trees that grow here, or the whiteof the region’s traditional costumes, or whitelinen. Perhaps it has something to do withthe bright white light that characterises theregion, or the foaming white rapids of thenumerous weirs on the Kolpa, which are hereknown as waterfalls. “Let’s go and walk alongthe waterfall!” we used to say, when as kids52 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Myths, legends andcustoms interminglein this little cornerof Slovenia.we spent our summers by the Kolpa, and itsounded terribly adventurous.Rising in Croatia’s mountainous GorskiKotar region, the Kolpa is Slovenia’s warmestand cleanest river, as well as its longestkarst river. It also gives its name to theKolpa Nature Park, one of 11 natural parksin Slovenia, which was established in 1998and extends from Fučkovci near Adlešiči toStari Trg ob Kolpi. This means that part ofBela Krajina – its flat southernmost sectionthat is joined to neighbouring Croatia by theriver – is a protected area. Here you will findeverything that makes this region somethingtruly special: characteristic vernaculararchitecture, the most interesting exampleof which is the dvor of the Uskoks, not somenoble dwelling as the name might suggest buta simple set of farm buildings around a closedcourt; the vineyards with small woodenvineyard buildings that also served as cottagesor, in many families, as the first home of anewly-wed couple; little pilgrim churches andother religious buildings including Orthodoxchurches; the remains of numerous millsand some that are still working; castles andtheir ruins; stands of birch trees with brackenundergrowth that is used by local farmers asbedding to livestock; karst sinkholes, floodedkarst caves and springs; fields of corn, flax andhemp; pastureland full of karst depressions,where an indigenous breed of sheep, the BelaKrajina Pramenka, which at one time nearlydied out, once again grazes and is protectedfrom wolves by – and this I would never haveguessed – Istrian donkeys.Myths, legends and customs intermingle inthis little corner of Slovenia, with its melodiousform of speech spiced with borrowings fromCroatian. Green George spins round withbeautiful Annie who leads the dance, flaxis dressed and woven, wool is spun, Eastereggs – the famous Bela Krajina pisanice anddrsanke – are painted, lambs rotate slowlyon the spit... Or you can withdraw fromthis world of plenty and float in a boat onthe smooth surface of the Kolpa, observingthe riverside life of its overgrown banks. Orclimb up to one of the natural lookout pointsabove the river and admire its gentle flowfrom a precipitous rock face. It sounds like acliché, but it is true. No wonder that the lateSilvin, a man of this region from Župančič’slegendary poem St Barbara’s Cemetery that Istill remember from my school days, shouldrise from his tomb not at night but by day, inorder to wander around a little longer – since“he who has absorbed the light of these placesdoes not forget them.” •Bela Krajina | 53

Postojnska jamaPostojnskajama – razstavao edinstvenempodzemnem svetuBesedilo: Marjan Žiberna Fotografije: arhiv Postojnska jama d.d.Postojnska jama je fenomen, ki privlači obiskovalce žeod leta 1818, ko je jamar Luka Čeč odkril prehod v njenedotlej neznane predele. Aprila omenjenega leta si ježelel ogledati jamo avstrijski cesar Franc I. Habsburško-Lotarinški s svojo ženo, cesarico Karolino Avgusto.Njegovemu veličanstvu so gostitelji takrat poznani300 metrov od vhoda segajoči del primerno osvetlili inokrasili. Čeč je preko podzemnega toka Pivke položillestev, da bi na skale nad njo postavil piramido z napisom,in tako našel vhod v nadaljevanje jame. To je bil ključnitrenutek, da je postala Postojnska jama zanimiva tudiza običajne ljudi in ne zgolj za pogumne raziskovalcetemnega podzemlja.54 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Postojnska jamaTakih in drugačnihzanimivostije še veliko.Odtlej je doživljala prelomne trenutke,ki so prispevali k njeni velikiprepoznavnosti v svetu. Eden odnjih bo morda tudi stalna razstava z imenomEXPO Postojnska jama kras, ki se je po trehletih skrbnih priprav odprla letos aprilaza obiskovalce v stavbi nedaleč od vhoda vjamo. Otvoritev je bila le malo zatem, ko jev jamo stopil 36-milijonti obiskovalec. Njennamen je, da tistim, ki so jamo že obiskaliali pa se bodo vanjo odpravili po obiskurazstave, predstavi vse razsežnosti jamskegapodzemlja. Vodiči po jami med ogledom neskoparijo z besedami, a ko gledate kapniškoveličastje, jih zlahka preslišite. Tako vamlahko uide podatek, da je kapnik, visok takokot vi, rasel kakšnih 17 ali 18 tisoč let. Shitrostjo en milimeter na desetletje torej.»Tole je stena prvakov,« pravi vodič, kinas bo popeljal po razstavi. Prostor, kjer senahajamo, je diskretno osvetljen in sliši sezvok vodnih kapelj, kakršnega je mogočeslišati le v jami.Na steni, na katero kaže vodič, se en zadrugim osvetljujejo napisi s presežki Postojnskejame: 114 vrst jamskih živali; železnica,ki prevaža obiskovalce po podzemnihrovih že od leta 1872; električna osvetlitevod leta 1883, ko je ulice Londona še razsvetljevalplin; edini podzemni poštni urad nasvetu, ki je začel delovati avgusta 1899 in kije nekoč, ko so bile razglednice neznansko vmodi, v enem samem dnevu prodal 78 tisočprimerkov; pa 150 kraljev, cesarjev, predsednikovin še druge sorte najvišjih vladarjev,ki so se kot obiskovalci vpisali v tako imenovanozlato knjigo, saj je bil obisk Postojnskejame stvar ugleda … Ena od pionirskih stvari,s katerimi se ponaša jama, je tudi drobnovratnik,prvi znani jamski hrošč. Luka Čeč,ki ga je odkril leta 1831, se je z njim proslavil,Postojnska jama pa je postala svetovna zibelkajamske biologije.Kot prikaže razstava, domiselno izrabljajočmožnosti, ki jih ponuja najsodobnejšatehnologija, je jamsko podzemlje slovelo tudi56 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

med ljubitelji zabave in umetnosti. V Plesniin Koncertni dvorani so nekoč prirejalirazkošne plese in koncerte. Vodič pove, daje v letih 1929 in 1930, ko so ti kraji pripadaliItaliji, tu z opernim zborom iz milanskeScale gostoval sloviti skladatelj in dirigentPietro Mascagni, skladatelj opere CavalleriaRusticana. In ko je govora o glasbi, je narazstavi mogoče slišati tudi zelo drugačnoglasbo, kot so opere in simfonije.»Tole so neandertalci,« pokaže vodič nagručo skuštranih, v živalske kože oblečenihljudi nekoliko strašljivega videza, ki sozbrani okrog ognja v skalni votlini. Ta delujeenako prepričljivo kot njeni prebivalci.»No, ne čisto pravi,« se nato namuzne, kona obrazih obiskovalcev vidi malce osupleizraze. In doda: »Takšna pa je bila verjetnonjihova muzika,« namigujoč na zvok piščali,ki ga je slišati iz ozadja votline. Razstava senamreč ne osredotoča samo na Postojnskojamo in njene posebnosti, pač pa vključuješirše kraško območje in njegove različnevidike. Eden od njih so praprebivalci tehkrajev, neandertalci. Preprosti, a prijetnizvoki piščali prinašajo v prostor z modernozasnovano razstavo sporočilo iz davnepreteklosti – da je ljudem glasba velikopomenila že vsaj kakšnih 55.000 let nazaj.Toliko je namreč stara piščal, izdelanaiz stegnenice jamskega medveda, ki so joleta 1995 našli v najdišču Divje babe naCerkljanskem. Če verjamete ali ne: na replikotake piščali je glasbenik Ljuben Dimkaroski,ki igra preprosto skladbo, prihajajočo izneandertalčeve votline, odigral celo Bacha!Pa še malo o glasbi, čeprav zelo drugačni:tudi ansamblu Lojzeta Slaka, ki je leta1979 med kapniki v Postojnski jami posnelistoimensko skladbo, lahko prisluhnete natej vsestranski razstavi. Zaradi česar se mikar malce milo stori, saj me za trenutekodnese v čas, ko sem jo hočeš nočeš moralposlušati med nedeljsko govejo juho in‘tenstanim’ krompirjem v radijski oddajiNaši poslušalci čestitajo in pozdravljajo ...Takih in drugačnih zanimivosti je ševeliko. Denimo dejstvo, ki ga navede vodič:da je bil v daljni zemeljski zgodovini kraj,kjer stojimo, del kopnega na ekvatorju, natopa je »odpotoval« proti severu. In prav taekvatorialna lega je omogočila nastanekPostojnske in njej podobnih kraških jam. Izostankov številnih morskih organizmov, kiso se sesedali na morskem dnu, so nastaledebele plasti apnenca, le-tega pa je vodaraztapljala in ustvarila podzemni svet znajrazličnejšimi kapniškimi tvorbami.Napotimo se v prostor, kjer je temperaturatakšna kot vse leto v podzemlju – okoli 10stopinj Celzija. Nato pa še v popolno temo,da bi sploh dojeli, kakšna pravzaprav je. A jona srečo tu in tam vsaj malce osvetlijo obrisičloveške ribice, ki se medlo zasvetijo s steneprostora …V podzemnem svetu, urejenem zaturistične obiske, si obiskovalec odprtihust napase oči in prisluhne pojasnilomdobro podkovanih jamskih vodičev. Ampaks človeškimi čuti je tako, da se včasih medseboj dopolnjujejo, včasih pa izključujejo –če se nečemu na pogled izjemnemu čudite,se zlahka zgodi, da zanimive stvari, ki vamjih medtem povedo, odplavajo mimo ušes.Vsaj zase lahko to z gotovostjo rečem. Karje najbrž povezano z dejstvom, da semmoški; kako je z našo zmožnostjo spremljativeč stvari naenkrat, pa je znano. Prav zatoje na novo odprta razstava zelo dobrodošlastvar. No, tudi lepši in bistrejši spol bo nanjej prišel na svoj račun. Ali je razstava, kiponekod dobro ponazori jamsko vzdušje,primerna tudi za ljudi s klavstrofobijo,zaradi katere se sami raje izognejo jami, panisem prav prepričan. Tako je mimogredenavrgel vodič. A ker se mi je v teh dveh urah,ki sta minili neobičajno hitro, razkrilo, da ješaljivec, ne vem, ali je mislil resno ali ne.Postojnska jama | 57

Postojna CavePostojna Cave –An Exhibition on a UniqueUnderground WorldText: Marjan ŽibernaPhotographs: Postojnska jama d.d. archivePostojna Cave is a phenomenon that has been attracting visitors since 1818, when the caver Luka Čeč discovered apassage into its hitherto unknown sections. It was in April of that year that Emperor Francis I of Austria desired tovisit the cave with his wife, the Empress Caroline Augusta. The hosts set about illuminating and decorating the partof the cave known up to that time, extending 300 metres from the cave entrance, in a manner befitting His ImperialMajesty. Čeč laid a ladder over the channel of the underground river Pivka in order to place a pyramid bearing aninscription on the rocks above it. And so it was that he stumbled upon the entrance to a continuation of the cave.This was the key moment that would make Postojna Cave attractive to ordinary visitors, rather than merely tocourageous explorers of the dark underworld.58 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Since then the cave has undergoneepochal moments that have helpedspread its fame around the world.Perhaps the new permanent exhibitionEXPO Postojnska jama kras (Expo PostojnaCave Karst), which opened in April this yearafter three years of careful preparations,will be one such moment. The openingof the exhibition, which is housed in apurpose-built structure not far from thecave entrance, took place shortly after the36 millionth visitor had entered the cave.The aim of the exhibition is to present all thedifferent dimensions of the undergroundcave world to those who have alreadyvisited the cave – or who plan to do so aftervisiting the exhibition. The cave guideswho accompany visitors through the cavedo not stint on explanations, but when youare gazing in wonder at the magnificence ofstalactites and stalagmites, it can be easy tomiss what they say. Thus, for example, youmay miss the fact that the stalagmite that isas tall as you are has been growing for some17,000 or 18,000 years. In other words at thespeed of one millimetre per decade.“This is the wall of champions,” says theguide who will conduct us through theexhibition. The room we are in is discreetlylit and the sound of dripping water can beheard – a sound that can only be heard ina cave.On the wall indicated by the guide,signs conveying remarkable facts aboutPostojna Cave light up one after the other:114 species of cave fauna; a railway that hasbeen carrying visitors through undergroundtunnels since 1872; electric lighting since1883, when the streets of London were stilllit by gas; the only underground post office inthe world, which opened in August 1899 andwhich once, when postcards were very muchin fashion, sold 78,000 of them in a singleday; and 150 kings, emperors, presidentsand supreme rulers of other kinds who haveentered their names, as visitors to the cave,in the so-called golden book, since a visit toPostojna Cave was a matter of prestige... Oneof the pioneers of which the cave is proudis the first known cave beetle, Leptodirushochenwartii. This tiny creature broughtfame to Luka Čeč, who discovered it in1831, and thanks to it Postojna Cave becameknown as the cradle of world speleobiology.As the exhibition shows, making imaginativeuse of the possibilities offered by state-of-the-art technology, the undergroundworld of the cave also became famousamong lovers of entertainment and art. TheBallroom and Concert Hall once served asvenues for magnificent dances and concerts.The guide tells us that in 1929 and 1930,when this area was part of Italy, the famouscomposer and conductor Pietro Mascagni,the composer of the opera Cavalleria Rusticana,appeared here with the choir of LaScala opera house from Milan. And whilewe’re on the subject of music, the exhibitionalso gives you the chance to hear a kind ofmusic that is very different from operas andsymphonies.“Those are the Neanderthals,” says the guide,pointing to a group of shaggy individuals ofsomewhat alarming appearance dressed inanimal skins and gathered around a fire in arocky cave. The latter is as realistic looking asits inhabitants. “Well, not real ones,” he grins,when he sees the astonished expressions onthe faces of the visitors. “This is what theirmusic was probably like,” he adds, in referenceto the sound of a flute that can be heard fromthe back of the cave. The exhibition doesnot, in fact, focus only on Postojna Cave andits characteristics, but includes the widerKarst region in all its various aspects. Onesuch aspect is the prehistoric inhabitants ofthis region: the Neanderthals. The simplebut pleasant sounds of the flute carry amessage from the distant past into thismodern exhibition space – that even 55,000years ago (at least), music already meant alot to people. This is, in fact, the age of therudimentary flute made from the thighbonePostojna Cave | 59

Postojna CaveThe exhibitionincludes many othercuriositiestoo.of a cave bear that was found in 1995 at theDivje Babe site near Cerkno. Believe it ornot, the musician Ljuben Dimkaroski – whoplays the simple melody issuing from theNeanderthals’ cave – has even played Bachon a replica of this flute! And still on thesubject of music, though of a very differentkind: at this multifaceted exhibition you caneven listen to the Lojze Slak Ensemble, whoin 1979 recorded a piece entitled “PostojnaCave” among the stalagmites and stalactitesof the cave. Something I find strangelymoving, since for a moment it takes me backto a time when, whether I liked it or not, I hadto listen to the Sunday lunchtime phone-inradio show as I ate my beef broth and mashedpotatoes sautéed with onion…The exhibition includes many othercuriosities too. For example the fact, cited bythe guide, that way back in the Earth’s historythe place we are standing in was part of theland around the equator, which then “setoff” towards the north. It was this equatorialposition that enabled the formation ofPostojna Cave and similar karst caves. Thicklayers of limestone formed from the remainsof countless marine organisms that settledon the seabed. This was then dissolved bywater and created an underground worldwith a huge variety of cave formations.We enter a room where the temperatureis the same as the constant year-roundtemperature in the cave – around 10 degreesCelsius. Then we enter total darkness, in60 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

order to understand what that actually feelslike. Fortunately it is lit up at least slightlyfrom time to time by the outlines of the“human fish” (the famous cave salamanderor olm) gleaming faintly from the wall…In the underground world, laid out asa show cave for visitors, open-mouthedvisitors feast their eyes and listen to theexplanations of experienced cave guides.But the thing about human senses is thatwhile sometimes they complement eachother, other times they cancel each otherout – if all your attention is taken up bythe remarkable sight in front of you, it caneasily happen that the interesting thingsthey are telling you about it simply pass youby unheard. At least that is what happensin my case. Which may be something to dowith the fact that I am a man. Our inabilityto cope with more than one thing at onceis a matter of record. This makes the newlyopened exhibition even more welcome.Even the fairer and smarter sex will findsomething to interest them. But whether anexhibition that offers a good illustration ofthe atmosphere of the cave is also suitable forthose who suffer from claustrophobia andwho would therefore prefer to give the cave awide berth, I am not so sure. Our guide didmake this claim in passing. But since overthe course of these two hours – which wentby amazingly quickly – I had realised that hewas a bit of a joker, I don’t know whether hewas being serious or not. •Postojna Cave | 61

ArhitekturaMaksFabianiin Trgovskidom v GoriciBesedilo: Matjaž PotokarFotografije: arhiv B. Peric, Goriški muzej, NŠK - Slovenska knjižnica D. FeigelLetos mineva sto petdeset let od rojstva enega največjihslovenskih arhitektov in urbanistov, Maksa Fabianija.Kobdiljski stavbenik in profesor je prispeval izjemendelež v zakladnico domače in tuje stavbne in pokrajinskekulture. Na Dunaju, kjer je doktoriral, je poleg profesure terumetnostnega in političnega svetovanja prestolonaslednikuFrancu Ferdinandu pustil izjemen pečat predvsem kotarhitekt. Med drugim je prestolonasledniku odsvetovalpogubno pot v Sarajevo. Dunajčani so še vedno ponosni napalači Artario in Uranio, Ljubljana pa po potresu najbržne bi tako hitro okrevala, kot je z njegovo urbanističnozasnovo. Pred koncem prve vojne se je na višku uspehavrnil na rodni Kras ter se posvetil urbanizaciji in prenoviPosočja, Krasa, Goriške, Vipavske in Furlanije. Stroka gauvršča med najpomembnejše urbaniste avstrijske monarhijein inovatorja v arhitekturi. V enem svojih intervjujev je zaitalijanski časopis povedal, da je na Dunaju odpustil AdolfaHitlerja iz svojega biroja zaradi slabega risanja. Zgodovinskadejstva tega Fabianijevega navedka niso ne ovrgla nepotrdila, tako da ostaja njegova trditev na ravni anekdote.62 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

ArhitekturaSrca Primorcev je osvojil še z načrtiza dve izjemni stavbi, ki sta močnookrepili narodno prepričanje. Narodnidom v Trstu so po njegovih načrtih dogradilileta 1904 in je bil do požiga leta 1920osrednji prostor razvijajoče se slovenske kulturne,gospodarske in politične samozavesti.Manj znana, a nič manj pomembna je njegovadruga stavba – Trgovski dom v Gorici.Ob letošnji obletnici Fabianijevega rojstvaje njegova usoda zanimiva zaradi drugačne– evropske usode sodelovanja in sožitja.Za razliko od tržaškega Narodnega doma, kije zagorel zaradi vzpona fašizma, je goriškiTrgovski dom preživel in danes doživlja povsemdrugačno usodo.V Gorico se je ob koncu devetnajstega stoletjastekala vsa trgovina slovenskih pokrajin,vzniknila je skoraj vsa obrtna dejavnost. Gospodarstvose je kot oblika samopomoči obli-64 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

kovalo v Trgovsko obrtno zadrugo. Kmalupo začetku novega stoletja je ideja o pridobitviosrednjega poslovno kulturnega prostoradobila svojo uresničitev z nakupom zemljiščav samem središču Gorice, na današnjem Verdijemkorzu. Maksa Fabianija so prosili, najnariše načrte, in decembra leta 1904 je lahkozačel svoje poslanstvo najmodernejši dom sčarobno razsvetljavo, ki je v tistih časih nisopremogla niti večja gledališča. V njem sonašle svoj dom nekatere najpomembnejšekulturne in gospodarske ustanove slovenskenarodne skupnosti pa tudi gledališče kot takratnanajbolj izpostavljena dejavnost. V letihpred prvo vojno je Goriška gospodarskoskokovito napredovala. Napredek gre pripisatipredvsem gradnji železniške povezaveGorice z avstrijskim zaledjem skozi Soškodolino. Dve leti po otvoritvi so v pritličjudoma odprli še knjigarno in nekatere drugetrgovine. Trgovski dom je pred prvo vojnokmalu postal središče ne samo narodnostne,pač pa tudi kulturno-umetniške, poslovne,zabavne in druge dejavnosti v Gorici.Izjemna kotna stavba Maksa Fabianav secesijskem stilu je zaradi prve vojnenekoliko umirila svoje poslanstvo, a Fabianije ob svojem odhodu z Dunaja in vrnitvina Kras še občutil gospodarsko evforijo.Trgovsko obrtna zadruga je v tem časuzaradi nekaterih napačnih potez zabredlav težave. Devet let kasneje naraščajočifašizem ni zmogel več gledati slovenskegaTrgovskega doma. Četrtega novembra sofašistični fanatiki vdrli v dom, ga razdejaliin zasedli. Z različnimi pravno finančnimimanevri so fašisti izsiljevali lastnike domain ga leta 1933 »kupili«, četudi zanj dejanskoniso plačali niti lire. Do druge svetovnevojne je palača arhitekta Maksa Fabianijaostala fašistična hiša. Ti so slovenski napisTRGOVSKI DOM na pročelju zamenjaliz VIVA L'ITALIA. Ko so prišle v Gorico1945 slovenske partizanske enote, so stavbopoimenovali Ljudski dom, vanjo pa sose vselile kulturne ustanove, povezane vSlovensko-italijanski antifašistični uniji.Po priključitvi Gorice Italiji je italijanskadržava v stavbo naselila davčno upravo. Takoso se pobude in formalne poteze slovenskemanjšine prekinile do devetdesetih letprejšnjega stoletja. Takrat so vrnitev domaprvotnim lastnikom vključili v zaščitnizakon za slovensko skupnost v Italiji. Obstoletnici otvoritve Fabianijeve palače so sezačele kazati prve možnosti, da bi stavboponovno pridobile slovenske organizacije.Kaže, da se je pot vrnitve začela s preselitvijoNarodne študijske knjižnice. Do dokončnevrnitve celotne palače pa bo – kot kaže –preteklo še nekaj časa. Vsekakor pa se usodaTrgovskega doma kaže v luči sodelovanja,sobivanja in evropskega povezovanja vsehnarodov ob nekdanji meji.Ob stopetdeseti obletnici rojstva MaksaFabianija ne gre prezreti njegovega vpliva,ne samo v Gorici, kjer je leta devetnajstodvainšestdeset tudi umrl. Stroka gane spoštuje samo zaradi urbanizma inarhitekture, pač pa o njem razmišlja kot ouniverzalnem ustvarjalcu iz renesančnihčasov. To dokazujejo njegovi izumi invizionarske ideje. Ko sta Jugoslavija inItalija sredi sedemdesetih let prejšnjegastoletja dokončno uredili mejo z osimskimisporazumi, sta vanj vnesli tudi Fabianijevozamisel o vodnem prekopu med Donavo inJadranskim morjem, s katerim bi Ljubljanaspet postala rečno pristanišče.arhitektura | 65

ArchitectureMax Fabianiand the Trgovski Domin GoriziaText: Matjaž PotokarPhotographs: B. Peric, Museum of Gorica, NŠK - Biblioteca slovena D. Feigel archivesThis year marks the 150 th anniversary of the birth of oneof the greatest Slovene architects and urban planners,Max Fabiani. Born in the little village of Kobdilj in theKarst, at that time part of Austria, the architect anduniversity professor made a remarkable contribution toarchitecture both in Slovenia and abroad, and also to theculture of his native region. In Vienna, where he receivedhis doctorate, he left his mark above all as an architect– in addition to teaching at the university and acting asartistic and political adviser to Franz Ferdinand, the heirto the Austrian throne. He apparently even attempted todissuade the Archduke from making his ill-fated journeyto Sarajevo. The Viennese are still proud of the FabianidesignedArtaria and Urania buildings, while Ljubljanawould probably not have recovered so quickly fromthe great earthquake of 1895 without Fabiani’s urbanmaster plan. Before the end of the First World War, atthe height of his success, he returned to his native Karstand dedicated himself to urban planning and renewalin the Soča/Isonzo Valley, the Karst, the province ofGorizia, the Vipava Valley and the wider Friuli region.He is considered by experts to be among the mostimportant urban planners of the Austrian Empire, andan innovator in architecture. In one interview with anItalian newspaper he claimed to have dismissed AdolfHitler from his architectural studio in Vienna because ofthe latter’s poor draughtsmanship. History has neitherrefuted nor confirmed the truth of this incident, so itremains an anecdote.Fabiani captured the hearts of the Slovenes of Primorska (thethree provinces of the Austrian Küstenland/Litorale) withhis plans for two remarkable buildings that strengthened thenational convictions and aspirations of the Slovene community. TheNarodni Dom (literally: “House of the Nation”) in Trieste was builtto his plans in 1904. Until it was destroyed in an arson attack in1920, it was the centre of the developing Slovene cultural, economicand political self-affirmation. Less well known but no less importantwas his Trgovski Dom (“House of Commerce”) in Gorizia. As wecelebrate this year’s anniversary of Fabiani’s birth it is interestingto note this building’s different, European destiny of cooperationand coexistence. Unlike the Narodni Dom in Trieste, set on fire as aconsequence of the rise of Fascism, the Trgovski Dom in Gorizia hassurvived and is today living a very different destiny.At the end of the nineteenth century all the commercial activityof the Slovene provinces converged on Gorizia, where crafts of everykind were also flourishing. Economic activities were channelled, asa form of self-organisation for the benefit of the community, intothe Trade and Crafts Cooperative (Trgovsko obrtna zadruga). Soonafter the beginning of the new century, the dream of obtaining a66 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

ase for the commercial and culturalactivities of the Slovene community foundits realisation with the acquisition of a site inthe very centre of Gorizia, on today’s CorsoVerdi. Max Fabiani was commissioned todraw up the plans and by December 1904the Trgovski Dom was ready to begin itsmission. The most modern building in thecity, it even had electric lighting – somethingnot even major theatres were able to boastat that time. Some of the most importantcultural and economic institutions ofGorizia’s Slovene community found a homein the Trgovski Dom, including the theatre,the community’s most visible activity. Inthe years before the First World War theeconomy of the Gorizia area progressedrapidly. This progress was above all dueto the construction of the railway linkingGorizia and its Austrian hinterland throughthe Isonzo/Soča Valley. Two years after thebuilding was inaugurated, a bookshop andother shops opened on the ground floor. Inthe years leading up to the First World Warthe Trgovski Dom was soon not only thecentre of activities relating to the Slovenenational question but also the focus ofcultural, artistic, business, entertainmentand other activities in Gorizia.In architectural terms Max Fabiani’sremarkable corner building, at the junctionof Corso Verdi and Via Petrarca, reflectedthe style of the Vienna Secession. Althoughthe First World War had a dampening effecton its mission, Fabiani could still sense theeconomic euphoria when he left Vienna toreturn to his native Karst. Unfortunately inthis period a number of unwise investmentshad led the Cooperative into difficulties.Nine years later, the growing tide of Fascismcould no longer tolerate the sight of theSlovene Trgovski Dom. On 4 November1926 Fascist thugs broke into the building,ransacked it and then occupied it. By meansof various legal and financial manoeuvres theFascists put pressure on the owners of thebuilding, eventually “purchasing” it in 1933without handing over a single lira. Until theSecond World War Max Fabiani’s buildingwas destined to serve as the “Casa delFascio”, the local Fascist Party headquarters.The inscription “TRGOVSKI DOM” on thefaçade was replaced by a prominent “VIVAL’ITALIA”. When Slovene partisan unitsentered Gorizia in 1945 the building becamethe Ljudski Dom (“House of the People”) andwas taken over by cultural institutions linkedto the Slovene-Italian Anti-Fascist Union.Following Gorizia’s incorporation intoItaly, the Italian authorities convertedthe building into a tax office. As a result,initiatives and formal actions by the Sloveneminority were interrupted until the 1990s,when the return of the building to itsoriginal owners was included in the lawon the protection of the Slovene minorityin Italy. The first indications that Fabiani’sbuilding might once again be placed in thehands of Slovene organisations began toappear around the time of the centenary ofits inauguration. With the transfer of theNational and Study Library to the formerTrgovski Dom, the path of return appearsto have begun, although it seems that alittle more time will have to pass beforethe building can be fully restored to thecommunity. Be that as it may, the destinyof the Trgovski Dom should be seen in thelight of the corporation, coexistence andEuropean integration of all the nationsalong the former border.As we mark the 150th anniversary ofthe birth of Max Fabiani, we should notoverlook his influence – which is not limitedto Gorizia, where he died in 1962. Notonly is he respected for his work in urbanplanning and architecture, he is viewed asa kind of Renaissance figure whose geniuswas universal. This is demonstrated by hisinventions and his visionary ideas. WhenYugoslavia and Italy finally settled thequestion of the border between the twocountries by signing the Treaty of Osimo inthe mid-1970s, they included in it Fabiani’sidea of a canal between the Danube and theAdriatic, which would have seen Ljubljanaonce again become a river port. •Architecture | 67

Kočevski gozdMedvedjapotepanjaBesedilo in fotografije: Petra DraškovičKdaj se je začela tista usodna privlačnost, se niti ne spomnim.Odkar pomnim, pa sem obkrožena z njimi. Predvsem s takimina dveh nogah. Spremljajo me tako rekoč že od mojega rojstva.Zato najbrž ni narobe, če se kdaj pošalim, da sem napol medvedka,še sploh, če upoštevam, da je mamin dekliški priimek Medved.68 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Kočevski gozd | 69

Kočevski gozdNavdušenje nad medvedi pa se je z letile večalo. Najbrž ni presenetljivo, dame je moj nemirni duh vodil večkrattudi na Aljasko in v Kanado, da bi jih fotografirala.Ne nazadnje, celo na Kočevsko sem sepreselila. Da bi bila bližje medvedom? Tudito mi je že kdo »očital«, čeprav delamo velikepremike velikokrat prav iz ljubezni ... Medvedipa niso edini razlog, da me je prevzeladivja kočevska krajina. Kočevska vedno delujeskrivnostno, morda zaradi svoje pestrezgodovine, zaprtosti kot območja med drugosvetovno vojno in po njej pa tudi zaradi gozdovin vsega živega, kar je del nje. Medved,volk, ris – velike zveri so tukaj doma, a živijov glavnem prikrito življenje in le redko prekrižajopot človeku.Medvedja potepanja ali pohodi, ko si želimfotografirati to žival, se seveda ne končajovedno s krasnim posnetkom medveda, takimza naslovnico te revije ... Velikokrat ostanev spominu na tisti dan le vtis prebujajočegase jutra, ki mu srnjak laja v pozdrav, ali paletameglic, ki soncu odstirajo nov dan. Kdajle odtis šape v blatu ali praska na drevesu,morda podrgnjeno drevo, kjer pozorno okone spregleda nekaj ujetih medvedjih kocin ...Večkrat je tako, da pridem domov navdušenale nad sledmi in se v srcu poigravam z mislijo:» ... da, to je njegovo območje, tukaj je počival,prevračal kamne na sledi za slastnimiosirji, tukaj je njegov brlog ...« In zame je toprivilegij. Biti v gozdu, kjer se pod zelenimibukovimi krošnjami in jelovimi drevesi podzvezdnatim nebom prosto sprehaja medved.Nekega majskega večera sem se po dolgemdnevu sprehodila s fotoaparatom skozikočevski gozd in kot že mnogokrat po tihemrazmišljala o tem, kako lepo bi ga bilo srečati... Medveda seveda. Kakšno veselje v srcu,ko pred sabo čez čas opazim na vlaki odraslegasamca na njegovem večernem obhodu»revirja«. Nežno je vohljal z nosom skoraj pritleh, se neslišno premikal med drevesnimivelikani in bil videti v tisti značilni hoji z rameninaprej starejši, močnejši, čeravno odtisnjegove šape v blatu ni bil prav velik.Kako čudovito bitje je to, pomislim … Skorajbi že pozabila, kako dragocena so takšnasrečanja. Kakšna gracioznost v koraku, elegancagibanja … Še tisti zadnji žarki sončka,70 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Kako čudovitobitje je to,pomislim …ki se prebijajo skozi pregrete krošnje, osvetlijodlake na ušesu … Ahhh ... Popolnost. Toso tista bežna srečanja, ki so neponovljiva ...Da, medved (Ursus arctos) je karizmatičnobitje in vzbuja različna čustva v ljudeh: odstrahu, sovraštva pa vse do občudovanja. VSloveniji poseljuje medved prostor dinarskegagozda. To je področje visokega zahodnegaKrasa s Postojno in območjem Razdrtegater območje notranjske in kočevske regije zbelokranjskim delom. Sega pa tudi do Alpin predstavlja pomemben vezni člen meddeželami srednje in južne Evrope. Vse odleta 1993 je v Sloveniji na rdečem seznamuogroženih vrst, ščiti pa ga tudi bernska konvencija.Srečanja z medvedi so redka, kljub temuda jih živi v Sloveniji okoli 450, od tega skoraj300 na Kočevskem. Če so nekdaj ocenjevalištevilčnost populacije s štetjem na krmiščihob polni luni nekajkrat letno, pridejo danesraziskovalci z neinvazivnimi genetskimi metodamido bistveno natančnejših podatkov, kiso kvalitetna strokovna podlaga za upravljanjez medvedom.Vendar je številka zgolj številka. Za nekaterejih je preveč, za druge premalo. Pomembnejeje najti dialog in poiskati možnosti zaskupno sobivanje s to veliko zverjo, ki je lahkotudi ponos Slovenije.Znan fotograf Jim Brandenburg je nekočzapisal: »Nepričakovano bližnje in intimnosrečanje z volkom ali medvedom je to, čemurpravim dober dan. Močan spomin na tak trenutekse mi bo vtisnil v dušo, in če bom dobropripravljen, mi bo tudi uspelo posneti dostojanstvenostin skrivnostnost, ki obdajata žival,lahko bi rekli, da gre za neke vrste molitev.«Rada mu prikimam, saj je bilo takih »molitev«v mojem življenju kar nekaj. Včasih vzaklonu razmišljam, kakšen bi bil ta gozd, hribibrez medveda. Kdo bi nam ljudem, ki smože skoraj odtujeni od narave, dovolil, da občutimotako močna čustva, kot jih v gozdu, vdivjini – kdo bi nam pomagal vzpostavljati tokrhko povezavo med nami in divjino? Eden,petdeset ali 450, saj ni pomembno. Še vednoje medved tisti, ki vzpostavlja to vez.Medved predstavlja to, kar si naravovarstveniki,ljubitelji narave, prizadevamo že leta... Medved ni le 200 kg mišic in maščobe. Tukajje mnogo več – je dediščina, je v koreninahnaše kulture in prebivalcev ... Je tisto okno,skozi katero se dotikamo drugega – divjega,skoraj svetega sveta. In to je tisto, na kar bimorali biti ponosni!Da, počasi se zbirajo vtisi ... Podobe se zarišejonajprej v srce, tudi imaginarne, a kaj,ko jih je tako lepo spraviti tudi v realnost. Vsvet, da zaživijo. Tudi med vas. S fotografijo,zgodbo ... Za medvedi sem šla še večkrat. Kerso mi ljubi ... Pa ne zato, ker sem napol Medvedova,po maminih starših, ampak preprostozato, ker me učijo in opominjajo na tisto,kar je v življenju pomembno: na predanost,vztrajnost in spoštovanje vsega živega. Tudi vnaravoslovni fotografiji.Kočevski gozd | 71

Kočevje ForestBearProwlsText and photographs: Petra DraškovičI couldn’t say when this fatal attraction began. Ever since I can remember,I have been surrounded by them. Above all by those on two legs. They havebeen with me ever since I was born. So it is hardly surprising that I shouldjoke from time to time that I am half bear – especially if you consider thatmy mother’s maiden name was Medved (which in Slovene means bear).My enthusiasm for bears hasincreased over the years. Nowonder, then, that my restlessspirit has frequently led me to Alaska andCanada to photograph them. Not only that,I have even moved to the Kočevje region.To be closer to the bears? Some people have“accused” me of that – though we oftenmake major changes in our lives becauseof love… But bears are not the only reasonthe wild Kočevje landscape entranced me.Kočevje has always been rather mysterious,perhaps because of its turbulent history, itssecretive nature during and after the SecondWorld War, but also because of its forestsand all the living things that are part of it.Bears, wolves, lynx – this area is home to thelarge carnivores, but for the most part theylive a hidden life and rarely cross paths withhuman beings.My “bear prowls” – the expeditions I makewhen I want to photograph this animal – donot, of course, always end with a great shotof a bear like the one for the cover of thismagazine. Frequently my only memory ofsuch a day is an impression of the wakingdawn, a roebuck greeting the morning withhis distinctive bark, or the mists parting toreveal the new day to the sun. Sometimesjust a paw print or a scratch on a tree,perhaps a rubbed tree where the attentiveeye may spot a few trapped bear hairs…Often I will come home full of enthusiasmabout such traces of a bear’s presence, andin my heart I am saying to myself: “…this ishis home range, this is where he rested, herehe turned rocks over looking for tasty waspnests, here is his den…” And this for me is aprivilege. To be in the forest where beneaththe green canopies of the beeches and firs,below a starry sky, the bear walks freely.One evening in May, at the end of a longday, I was walking with my camera throughthe Kočevje forest and, like so many timesbefore, quietly thinking about how wonderfulit would be to meet… a bear, of course. Whathappiness in my heart as I see before me, ina logging road, an adult male on his eveningpatrol of his range. Sniffing gently, his nosealmost to the ground, he moved silentlyamong the giant trees. His characteristicshoulders-forward gait showed that he wasan older bear, a powerful animal, though hispaw print in the mud was not very big.What a wonderful creature this is, I think tomyself… I could almost forget how precioussuch encounters are. What grace in hiswalk, what elegance of movement… The lastrays of sunlight filtering through the warmtreetops illuminate the hairs on his ear…72 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Ahh… Perfection. This is one of thosefleeting encounters that are unrepeatable...Yes, the brown bear (Ursus arctos) is acharismatic creature, and one that awakensdifferent emotions in people: from fearand hatred to wonder and admiration. InSlovenia bears live in the area covered byDinaric forest. This means the high westernKarst including the area around Postojnaand Razdrto, other parts of Notranjska andWhat a wonderfulcreature this is,I think to myself…the Kočevje region with part of Bela Krajina.Their habitat also extends north to the Alpsand represents an important link betweenthe countries of central and southern Europe.In Slovenia the bear has been on the IUCNRed List of threatened species since 1993 andis also protected by the Berne Convention.Encounters with bears are rare, eventhough around 450 of them live in Slovenia– almost 300 of them in Kočevje. If once thesize of the bear population was estimatedby counting them at feeding stations a fewtimes a year by the light of the full moon,these days researchers use non-invasivegenetic methods to arrive at significantlymore accurate data that represent a highqualitytechnical basis for management ofthe bear population.But a number is only a number. For somepeople, there are too many bears; for others,too few. More important than this is to finda dialogue and look for ways to coexist withthis large carnivore, of which Slovenia canalso be proud.The well-known nature photographer JimBrandenburg once wrote: “An unexpectedup-close and intimate encounter with a wolfor a bear, now that’s what I call a good day.A moment like that will leave a powerfulmemory in my soul, and if I am well preparedI will also be able to capture the dignity andmystery that surrounds the animal. Youcould say that it is a kind of prayer.”I agree with him: there have been quite anumber of “prayers” of this kind in my life.Sometimes, as I sit waiting in a hide, I findmyself wondering what this forest, these hillswould be like without bears. We are alreadyso alienated from nature: what else wouldallow us to feel such emotions as powerfulas those we experience in the forest, in thewilderness? Who would help us re-establishthis fragile connection between us and wildnature? One, 50 or 450. The number doesn’tmatter. It is still the bear that establishesthis connection.The bear represents something for whichconservationists and nature lovers havebeen working for years. A bear is not just200 kilograms of muscle and fat. Here it ismuch more – it is heritage, it is in the rootsof our culture and our population… It is thewindow through which we touch anotherworld – one that is wild, almost sacred. Andthat is something we should be proud of!Yes, impressions gather slowly... Imagesfirst take shape in the heart. Sometimesimaginary pictures, but what does thatmatter when transforming them intoreality is so wonderful. Sending them intothe world, so that they come alive. For youand me. Through a photograph, a story...Many more times have I set out on the trailof bears. Because they are dear to me…And not only because I am half bear on mymother’s side: it is simply that they teachme something and remind me of the thingsthat are important in life: commitment,perseverance and respect for every livingthing. Including in nature photography. •Kočevje Forest | 73

Razstava74 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Tisoč in enizumBesedilo: Matjaž PotokarFotografije: arhiv GR LjubljanaTe dni si je na Gospodarskem razstavišču v Ljubljani mogočeogledati razstavo s pomenljivim naslovom »1001 izum«.Razstava dokazuje izjemno vitalnost islamske civilizacijemed Španijo, srednjo Afriko in Kitajsko v času mračnegaevropskega srednjega veka. Tega je razsvetlila šele renesansa,ki pa je ne bi bilo, če civilizacija, o kateri govori razstava,ne bi ohranila starih antičnih znanj in jim dodala šenovih, islamskih izumov. Razstava v duhu izmenjave idejvečmedijsko in nevsiljivo pedagoško predstavlja duha inrazum takratnega časa in prostora. Povejmo še, da to počnena domiseln in zabaven način.Razstava | 75

RazstavaOdveč bi bilo z abstraktnimi besedamizajemati konkretnosti tisoč in enegaizuma, katerih večina je bolj ali manjusodno krojila našo današnjo skupno civilizacijo.Skoraj nesmiselno je naštevati poglabljanjeantičnega znanja v tistem času, napredekalgebre in geometrije, zdravstva, astronomije,šolstva, trgovine, pogumno vključevanježensk v javne zadeve, napredek pri merjenjučasa, operativne posege in vzpon arhitekture,če naštejem samo glavna področja. Poglejmoraje nekaj najsilnejših in še danes zavidanjavrednih islamskih izumov in domislekov.Eden osnovnih jezikov sporazumevanja,matematika, točneje algebra, je dobila sodobnozasnovo prav v tistem času. Arabci so uporabljalidevet osnovnih indijskih številk. Pisaliso jih tako, da je imela vsaka zapisana številkatoliko kotov, kolikršno število je predstavljala.Sistemu so dodali še deseto številko, ničlo, intako dobili sedanji desetiški sistem. Arabskidesetiški sistem poznamo še danes in je najboljrazširjen v svetu. V času digitalizacije nipotrebno posebej razlagati pomena in vlogeničle, saj skupaj z enico tvorita osnove digitalnegajezika. Zaradi priročnosti tovrstnegazapisa je danes digitalizirano že skoraj vsakršnogradivo. Eden zanimivejših matematikovtistega časa je tudi perzijski filozof Omar Hajam.Vzhod ga slavi kot astronoma in matematika,zahod pa kot pesnika in filozofa. Njegoveotožne štirivrstičnice – rubajati – še danesodsevajo vso milino in zagonetnost časa,reševanje problemov enačb tretje stopnje panavdušuje tudi današnje matematike.V začetku devetega stoletja so v Bagdadu,takrat enem največjih in najbogatejših mestna zemeljski obli, ustanovili »Hišo modrosti«.Več kot dve stoletji je akademija znanja privlačilaučenjake z vsega sveta. Različne znanostiso si podajale roke v tej hiši znanja inzato so leta sedemsto šestinosemdeset ustanoviliogromno knjižnico rokopisov. Zaradiizjemnega dotoka novih rokopisov in prevajanjastarih so morali stavbo kmalu dograditi.Vsakomur so neznano knjigo, ki jo je prineselv knjižnico, stehtali in odplačali v čistem zlatu.V Hiši modrosti so predavali v arabščini,perzijščini, armenščini in grščini. Stare antičnerokopise so ves čas prevajali v arabščino76 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

in tako študentkam in študentom omogočalirazprave o vseh temah. Prevajali so recimoAristotela in Hipokrata. Tako so ohranili indopolnili prenekatero antično znanje, ki soga sicer v »evropskem« srednjem veku radizakurili na grmadah. Zrcalni prenos znanjase je nato dogodil v dvanajstem stoletju všpanskem Toledu, ko so tovrstna arabska besedilaspet prevajali v latinščino in pozneje vevropske jezike. Prednosti, ki so jih prineslaznanja in dopolnitve Hiše modrosti, delujejoše danes. Ne samo zaradi ohranjenega Aristotela,pač pa tudi zaradi prevoda Al Hvarizmijeveknjige »Al Jabr val Muqabalah«, izčesar je nastala beseda »algebra«. Sodobnihračunalnikov brez razvoja muslimanske algebrene bi bilo.Iz množice izumov, iznajdb in izboljšavvelja omeniti tudi magično pripravo, ki je šepred dlančnikom, sekstantom ali GPS-omprvič položila popotnikom v dlan prostor inčas. Gre za astrolab. Vse do iznajdbe sekstantav sedemnajstem stoletju je astrolab odličnokazal pot najrazličnejšim popotnikom, zlastipomorščakom. Omenjajo ga že v četrtem stoletjuv Aleksandriji in v starih grških spisih.A če so muslimani v vsakem trenutku hotelivedeti iz vseh možnih točk, v kateri smeri jeMeka, so morali okrogli medeninasti astrolabizpiliti do popolnosti. Z njim so določalinatančen čas, navigacijo ter trenutek sončnegavzhoda in zahoda. V enajstem stoletju sozačeli izdelovati univerzalne astrolabe, ki jihni bilo treba uglasiti na posamezne zemeljskepozicije. Na njih so bile določene točke Sonca,Lune in zvezd ter izračun kotov, s tem pa solahko določali tudi druge enote časa in prostora.Vsekakor gre za izjemne predhodnikedanašnjih dlančnikov; zaradi natančnosti ševedno zbujajo začudenje in jih za nekaterepreprostejše izračune uporabljajo še danes.Tisoč in en izum je vsekakor prireditev, ki vpravem času prinaša prave informacije. Spregovorio krogih znanja, umetnosti, veščin inspretnosti, ki se ves čas dopolnjujejo in si nenasprotujejo ali se izključujejo. Posebna dodanavrednost pa so kakovostna vodenja po razstaviin bogat spremljajoči program. V njemrazlični strokovnjaki spregovorijo o doprinosužensk k zlati dobi islamske civilizacije, kaligrafiji,razvoju filozofije in družboslovja, dediščiniislamske arhitekture v Evropi in še in še.Vsekakor razkošnapodoba islamskeučenosti.Razstava | 77

Exhibition1001InventionsText: Matjaž Potokar Photographs: GR Ljubljana archiveThe GR Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre is currently hosting theevocatively titled “1001 Inventions”, an exhibition that aims to demonstratethe extraordinary vitality of Muslim civilisation between Spain, NorthAfrica and China in a period that coincided with the Dark Ages in Europe.The latter only ended with the Renaissance, which itself would not havecome about had the civilisation that is the subject of this exhibition notconserved ancient knowledge and added new, Muslim inventions to it. In thespirit of an exchange of ideas, the exhibition uses multimedia techniquesand an unobtrusively educational approach to present the spirit and reasonof that age and geographical area. We should also add that it does so in animaginative and entertaining manner.It would be superfluous to try and capturein abstract words the concreteness of the1001 inventions, the majority of whichhave shaped – to a greater or lesser extent –our present-day common civilisation. Thereis no point in listing all the enhancementsof ancient knowledge in that period, theadvancement of algebra and geometry,medicine, astronomy, education, trade, thecourageous inclusion of women in publicaffairs, progress in the measurement oftime, surgical interventions and the rise ofarchitecture – to name just the principalfields. Instead we shall look at some of themost significant Muslim inventions and ideasthat still have the power to astonish us today.One of the basic languages ofcommunication – mathematics or, moreprecisely, algebra – gained its modern formduring the Islamic Golden Age. The Arabsused the nine basic Hindu numerals. Theywrote them in such a way that each writtennumeral had as many angles as the numberit represented. To this system they added atenth numeral, zero, and in this way obtainedthe modern decimal system. The Arabicdecimal system is still in use today and isthe most widespread numeral system in theworld. In an age of digitalisation, there is noneed to explain the importance of the role ofthe zero, which together with the numeralone forms the basis of digital language.78 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Thanks to the convenience of this method ofrecording information, digitalisation is todayused for almost every kind of material. Oneof the more interesting mathematicians ofthe period was the Persian philosopher OmarKhayyam. The Eastern world celebrateshim as an astronomer and mathematician;the West as a poet and philosopher. Hismelancholy quatrains – known as theRubaiyat – still reflect the grace andmysteriousness of the age in which they werewritten, while his approach to solving cubicequations is still celebrated by present-daymathematicians.In the early ninth century the “House ofWisdom” was founded in Baghdad, at thattime one of the largest and richest cities inthe world. For more than two centuries, thisacademy of knowledge attracted scholarsfrom all over the globe. Various sciences werecultivated in this house of knowledge, and inthe year 786 a huge library of manuscriptswas established. Owing to the great influxof manuscripts and the translation of oldones, it soon became necessary to enlargethe building. If anyone brought an unknownbook to the library it would be weighedand its bearer paid in pure gold. Teachingat the House of Wisdom took place inArabic, Persian, Armenian and Greek.Ancient manuscripts were always translatedinto Arabic, thus making it possible forstudents to debate all topics. Among theancient authors translated were Aristotleand Hippocrates. In this way a great dealof ancient knowledge was conserved andbuilt upon – knowledge that the “European”Middle Ages preferred to burn on pyres.A reverse transfer of knowledge then tookplace in the twelfth century in the Spanishcity of Toledo, when the Arabic texts wereretranslated into Latin and, later, intoother European languages. The advantagesbrought by the knowledge (and additions toit) of the House of Wisdom still apply today.Not only because the works of Aristotlehave been conserved, but also because ofthe translation of al-Khwarizmi’s work Aljabrwal-muqābala, from which the word“algebra” derives. Without the developmentof Muslim algebra, there would be nomodern computers.Among the mass of inventions, discoveriesand improvements, it is worth mentioning amagical device that – long before handheldcomputers, sextants and GPS navigators– first placed time and space in the handsof travellers: the astrolabe. Up until theinvention of the sextant in the seventeenthcentury, the astrolabe did an excellent jobof showing the way to all kinds of travellers,particularly seafarers. It is even mentionedin as early as the fourth century, inAlexandria, and in ancient Greek writings.But if Muslims wanted to know at any givenmoment and from anywhere on Earth inwhat direction Mecca lay, they had to refinethe spherical brass astrolabe to perfection.They used it to determine the exact time, asa navigation aid, and to predict sunrise andsunset. In the eleventh century they beganto produce universal astrolabes that did notneed to be “tuned” to a specific positionon the Earth’s surface. These were used todetermine the positions of the Sun, theMoon and the stars and to calculate angles.They could also be used to determine otherunits of time and space. People are stillastonished today by the accuracy of theseremarkable predecessors of today’s handheldcomputers, and they are still used for certainsimple calculations.1001 Inventions is without a doubt anevent that offers us the right informationat the right time. It talks about circlesof knowledge, art, skills and expertisethat constantly complement each otherinstead of contradicting or excluding.Other particularly valuable features of theexhibition are the excellent guided toursand the rich accompanying programme.This includes talks by a variety of experts onthe contribution of women to the IslamicGolden Age, calligraphy, the developmentof philosophy and social sciences, theheritage of Islamic architecture in Europe,and so on. •Without a doubt a magnificentportrayal of Muslim learning.Exhibition | 79

Kuba86 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Vednoprivlačnadežela ruma,cigar in salseBesedilo in fotografije: Juš MedičPred odhodom na Kubo pozimi 2011 sem o tej karibski deželislišal veliko zanimivih stvari in videl mnogo fotografij, nakaterih poleg navdihujoče pokrajine ne manjka za Kuboznačilnih ameriških avtomobilov iz petdesetih let prejšnjegastoletja. Odkar je Fidel Castro prepustil vodenje države svojemubratu Raulu, se Kuba hitro spreminja. Vedno več je turizmakot tudi sprememb v vsakdanjem življenju. Vseeno pa še vednoostajajo stvari, ki ločujejo svet domačinov od tistega, ki jena voljo obiskovalcem. Ena prvih najbolj opaznih razlik je vuporabi dveh valut – konvertibilnega kubanskega pesa (CUC) zatujce in kubanskega pesa (CUP) za domačine. Konvertibilnemupesu pravijo kar dolar, saj z njim plačujejo uvožene dobrine, znacionalnim pesom pa poslujejo le domačini.Kuba | 87

KubaKubanska prestolnica Havana je dodanes ohranila svoj neverjetni šarm.V njej je preživel del življenja tudiErnest Hemingway v hotelu Ambos Mundosv starem delu mesta, ki je razglašeno zaUNESCO-vo svetovno kulturno dediščino.V hotelu je ohranjena soba slavnegaameriškega pisatelja, kjer je bival v letih1932–39, pozneje pa se je preselil na obrobjemesta. Njegova hiša je urejena v muzej; obnjej je njegova barka Pilar. Hemingway jepogosto obiskoval lokal El Floridita, rojstnikraj legendarnega koktajla daiquiri. Enakoslaven je lokal La Bodeguita del Medio, ki gakrasijo podpisi slavnih obiskovalcev, v njempa so izumili mojito – glavni sestavini tegaHemingwayevega najljubšega koktajla staseveda rum in sveža meta.Še iz kolonialnih časov je poglavitna kmetijskakultura sladkorni trs, ki je osnova zaproizvodnjo ruma. V Havani si ogledamodestilarno ruma, kjer izdelujejo priznaneblagovne znamke, kot so Havana Club, Ronde Santiago de Cuba in Legendario. Degustacijarazličnih vrst ruma je opojno doživetje.88 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

Posebno doživetje pa je obisk Cabaret deParisien v Hotelu de Nacional de Cuba. Impozantniluksuzni hotel je na slavnem Maleconu,to je osem kilometrov dolga obalna avenijamed pristaniščem in starim delom Havane.V hotelu si ogledamo osupljivo gledališkopredstavo, medtem ko se na Maleconu zbirajov večernih urah mlade Kubanke in Kubanci.V Havani obiščemo še eno kulturno posebnost– pokopališče, ki je tako veliko, dapo njem vodijo ceste in velja za največje vLatinski Ameriki. Čeprav si turisti običajnone ogledujejo pokopališč, pa tega v Havanine gre izpustiti. Družinske grobnice krasijozanimivi nagrobniki, na katere polagajo raznobarvnocvetje.Kuba | 89

KubaPo doživetjih v prestolnici se odpravimov pokrajino Pinar del Rio, kjer gojijo tobakza slavne kubanske cigare, kot so Cohiba,Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta ... Ogledamosi obrat za proizvodnjo cigar, žal pa je fotografiranjeprepovedano. Cigare izdelujejo večinomaženske, ki ročno zvijejo tudi do 150cigar na dan, a le ena pripada izdelovalki. Nedalečod tod je, obdana z gorami, slikovita inrodovitna kraška dolina Viňales, ki je glavnoobmočje pridelovanja tobaka na Kubi. Zaradinaravnih, kulturnih in historičnih posebnostipa je zavarovana kot nacionalni park.V turističnem Varaderu smo v večjem hotelu,kjer najprej pričakamo novo leto, plavanjez delfini pa je tisti doživljaj, ki se človekuza vedno vtisne v spomin. Z ladjo nas odpeljejodo ograde z delfini na odprtem morju.Srečanje z njimi je naravnost božansko. Počitnicev Varaderu, na koncu dvajset kilometrovdolgega polotoka, ki slovi po belihpeščenih plažah in turkiznem morju, hitro90 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

minejo, čeprav tu ni tistega pristnega kubanskegapopotniškega duha.Za konec obiščemo še mestece Trinidad najugu Kube. Zanj je značilno živahno uličnodogajanje, življenje temperamentih domačinovpa je vse bolj turistično naravnano.Prijazni Kubanci vas pogostijo kar v svojemdnevnem prostoru (paladar) – jastogi, ribe,sadje, solate, sladice in seveda rum so čistapoezija okusov. Iz Trinidada se odpravimona treking, saj so okoliški hribi zaradi milejšegavišinskega podnebja idealni za preživljanjetropske vročine.Preden se vrnemo v Havano, od koder nasčaka polet v zimsko Evropo, nam ostane šeogled Santa Clare, kjer so spomenik, grobnicain muzej nacionalnega revolucionarja CheGuevare. Kuba, dežela ruma, cigar in salseter čudovitih tropskih pejsažev pa nobenegaod nas ni pustila ravnodušnega – to rajskodestinacijo bi z veseljem obiskal še enkrat.Kuba | 91

CubaThe AlwaysAttractive Landof Rum, Cigarsand SalsaText and photographs: Juš MedičBefore setting off for Cuba in thewinter of 2011, I had heard a lotof interesting things about thisCaribbean country and seen agreat many photographs featuringincredible scenery and those 1950sAmerican cars that are so muchpart of our image of Cuba. Eversince Cuban leader Fidel Castrohanded over the reins to his brotherRaúl, Cuba has been undergoingrapid changes. Tourist numbersare increasing, and everyday life ischanging too. Nevertheless, there arestill things that separate the worldof the local population from theworld that visitors see. One of thefirst noticeable differences is the useof two currencies – the convertibleCuban peso (CUC) for foreigners andthe Cuban peso (CUP) for locals. Theconvertible peso is often referred toas the “dollar”, since it is used to payfor imported goods. The “nationalpeso” is only used in transactionsbetween Cuban citizens.92 | Adria Airways In-Flight Magazine

The Cuban capital Havana has retainedits incredible charm to the present day.Here Ernest Hemingway spent part ofhis life, at the Hotel Ambos Mundos in OldHavana, which is today a UNESCO WorldHeritage site. The famous American writerlived at the hotel from 1932 until 1939, whenhe moved to a property outside the city. Hisold hotel room is now a tourist attraction,while his house has been converted into amuseum. His boat the Pilar stands next toit. Hemingway was a frequent visitor to ElFloridita, the birthplace of the legendarycocktail the daiquiri. An equally famousbar is La Bodeguita del Medio, whosewalls are decorated by the signatures of itsfamous patrons. It was here that the mojitowas invented – the main ingredients ofHemingway’s favourite cocktail are of courserum and fresh mint.Sugar cane, the basis for rum production,has been Cuba’s main agricultural crop sincecolonial times. In Havana we visit a rumdistillery that produces such famous labelsas Havana Club, Ron de Santiago de Cubaand Legendario. An organised tasting of thedifferent types of rum is a heady experience.And other special experiences of visitors tothe Cabaret Parisien at the Hotel Nacional deCuba. This imposing luxury hotel is situatedon the famous Malecón, the eight-kilometreseafront avenue running between the harbourand Old Havana. While we enjoy a remarkabletheatrical spectacle at the hotel, young Cubansgather outside on the Malecón as evening falls.Another sight worth visiting in Havana isthe cemetery – which is so big that roads runthrough it. It is said to be the largest cemeteryin Latin America. Although tourists don’tusually visit cemeteries, this one in Havana isnot to be missed. Family tombs are adornedby fascinating tombstones on which flowers ofmany colours are placed.After our adventures in the capital we setoff to the province of Pinar del Río, wherethe tobacco for famous Cuban cigars such asthe Cohiba, Montecristo and Romeo y Julietais grown. We also visit a cigar factory, butunfortunately no photographs are allowed.The cigars are mainly made by women, whocan hand-roll up to 150 cigars a day, althoughonly one goes to the torcedora herself. Not farfrom here is the picturesque and fertile Vallede Viñales, a karst depression surrounded bymountains that is the main tobacco-growingarea in Cuba. Because of its natural, culturaland historical features of interest, the valley istoday protected as a national park.After seeing in the New Year at a large hotelin the resort town of Varadero, it is time for aswim with dolphins – one of those experiencesyou never forget. A boat takes us out to adolphin pen in the open sea. Meeting them isa fantastic experience. Varadero lies at the endof a 20-kilometre peninsula and is famous forits white sandy beaches and turquoise sea. Ourholiday here passes quickly – even though thereal spirit of Cuban travel is absent.Our visit to Cuba ends with a visit to thelittle town of Trinidad in the south of theisland. Trinidad is characterised by its livelystreet life, although the lives of the warmspiritedlocals are increasingly orientedtowards tourism. Friendly Cubans will serveyou food in their own living rooms (in a formof family-run restaurant known as a paladar)– lobster, fish, fruit, salad, desserts and ofcourse rum create a pure poetry of flavours.With Trinidad as our base, we set off on atrekking expedition. Thanks to the milderclimate at higher altitudes, the surroundinghills are an ideal place to escape the tropicalheat.Before returning to Havana and our flightback to wintry Europe, there is still time tovisit Santa Clara and the monument, tomband museum of the national revolutionaryChe Guevara. Cuba – a land of rum, cigarsand salsa and wonderful tropical landscapes– left a strong impression on all of us, and Iwould happily return one day to this paradisedestination. •Cuba | 93
