The book
The Vipava (Vipacco) valley with its rural villages, wine traditions and
the beautiful, unique outline of a mountain that can only be described
as the king of the karst highland. Nanos, "home mountain or mountain
of the heart" to many people living in Trieste, Friuli and Slovenia.
This readable and full-colour guide introduces you to Mount Nanos and
the Bora Highland through twentythree routes (with relevant maps) described
by two experienced, keen walkers. The authors give all pratical information
in order to make every nature lover discover the trails enjoying wonderful
walks in the Slovenian mountain karst. The guide details climbing paths
to the summit of the Pleša and the Suhi Vrh; mule tracks, forest
roads and mountain tracks with facilities to the Vojkova koca hut, to
the Hunting House (Lovski dom) and to the Abram farmhouse. We'll learn
how to visit the ice caves, the gorge of the Bela stream, the practice
walls and, last but not least, the fascinating Predjama Castle.
The authors
Ettore Tomasi is a mountaineer, naturalist and publishing consultant.
Since 1958 he's been hiking, climbing mountains and dedicating himself
to naturalistic research. He has published a number of articles, hiking
guides and scientific works. Walking all over Europe he has developed
a deep knowledge of different mountain chains and environments. He's collaborating
with the Università degli Studi di Trieste as well as the Museo
di Storia Naturale di Trieste, and researching into cecidology in the
region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, particularly in his Parco Naturale delle
Prealpi Giulie. Mount Nanos catched his attention in 1966: since then
he keeps exploring the mountain in order to practice and to do botanical
and historical research.
Giovanni Stegù, born in 1944, is a keen sportsman (athletics and
volleyball) in his young years before shifting to sailing. On few occasions
he experiences hiking during rare summer holidays in the mountains. The
big change takes palce ten years ago, when he joins C.A.I. (Club Alpino
Italiano) to attend the course called "Rose d'Inverno" (Winter
Roses) organized by the Associazione XXX Ottobre in Trieste. Ettore Tomasi
happens to be his instructor and they soon become friends discovering
to have a passion in common: the mountains.
