Easter in Ljubljana

Ljubljana is at its loveliest at Easter and shows itself off in all its glory: restaurant terraces open, the city puts off its wintry Alpine charm and becomes almost Mediterranean in atmosphere, the willow trees along the Ljubljanica droop their light green boughs towards the surface of the river, strollers shed their heavy coats and the fashion sense of the city’s trendsetters is given a fresh impetus. Mira Mihelič begins her novel April, a social fresco of the Ljubljana bourgeoisie in the interwar years, on Good Friday 1941, when news of the coming war starts to spread like wildfire around the city’s main food market.

Interview with Prof. Marija Bešter Rogač, PhD

The biggest advantage of Ljubljana is its compactness - most meeting facilities are close to the hotels and student dormitories. Nearby there's the Old Town with the romantic Ljubljanica river, and the little picturesque corners literally invite everyone to carry on with the "meeting debates" in a more relaxed atmosphere.

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.
