Bevke Learning Trail

You can learn, for example, that the “Ljubljana Marshes” have long ceased to be a marsh (or, more accurately, a bog) and are instead an endless patchwork of humid meadows, stands of trees, small woods, hedgerows, fields, and so on, that provides shelter to numerous animals and plants (including 89 species of butterflies, 48 species of dragonflies and 258 observed species of birds); or that a mill path serving the inhabitants of Bevke and Podpeč once ran through here; or about the “river of seven names”, the Ljubljanica, along which part of the trail runs, and about its treasures; about the valuable stone quarried near Podpeč (which even adorns the National and University Library in Ljubljana, one of the most monumental works of the famous architect Jože Plečnik); about how the territory of Roman Aquileia extended as far as Bevke; and about the flooding of the wetland, which acts as a sponge, soaking up an enormous quantity of water and in this way protecting Ljubljana from floods – visiting is, in fact, not advised after heavy rain, since flooding can make some of the route impassable.
