Digital library

In cooperation with the Julian Alps Community, the Triglav National Park Public Institute is preparing guides for visitors to the Julian Alps Biosphere Area. The magazine in Slovenian and English provides tips for excursions, useful information for visiting in winter, interesting facts about the animals of the Triglav National Park, ideas for winter hikes with detailed descriptions. The youngest children will also find it useful. The magazine is available at all information points of the Triglav National Park and at the tourist offices of the Julian Alps Biosphere Area.

The newspaper is aimed at residents, visitors, fans and supporters. It is free for park residents and available at Triglav National Park information centres. Up to two issues a year are published.

The leaflets provide information on various topics related to the Triglav National Park.

Information on organised public transport in the Triglav National Park and the Julian Alps Biosphere Area, guided tours, hints for excursions and tips for visiting.

The Triglav National Park also publishes occasional publications. They cover various topics in the fields of nature conservation, cultural heritage, research, education, etc.

Acidophytic alpine mat-grass swards are rare in the alpine belt of the predominantly calcareous Southeastern Alps of Slovenia, mostly occurring where limestone is admixed with marlstone or chert. Those for which we were able to make phytosociological relevés can be classified mainly into two syntaxa: Carici curvulae-Nardetum strictae vaccinietosum gaultherioidis and Sieversio-Nardetum strictae vaccinietosum. At slightly lower elevations, in the forest zone of the subalpine plateau Pokljuka, we found similar swards occupying small areas in frost hollows with luvisol on limestone. They include character species of various subalpine-alpine sward and snow bed communities and are classified into the syntaxon Homogyno alpinae-Nardetum scorzoneroidetosum croceae.

Plant communities of several moss-rich calcareous water springs in the subalpine and alpine belt of the Julian Alps were phytosociologicaly investigated. Based on the comparison with similar communities in other parts of the Alps we classify them into the new association Saxifrago robustae-Palustrielletum commutati and in to two subassociations: -violetosum biflorae (mostly in the subalpine belt) and -saxifragetosum sedoidis (mostly in the alpine belt). Stands of described community belong to Natura 2000 habitat type Petrifying springs with tufa formation (Cratoneurion). For now they are mostly not directly threatened by man.
