Triglav National Park research talk took place on 7 October
The event was held at the Triglavska roza information centre on Ljubljanska cesta 27 in Bled. It was organised with the public institute responsible for the park, and presented the results of a decade of research and fieldwork by architects Janko Rozic, Janez Polda and Luka Jerman.
The research examined settlement patterns, the structure of villages and different building types in the Julian Alps. Its geographical focus included Upper Carniola and the upper Soca area. The presentation was part of the European Heritage Days programme, while the research presentations received support from the Municipality of Bled. The 7 October research talk was listed with its date and venue on the event page.
Alpine villages connect the programme with the park
The subject placed the Bled presentation within the park's cultural landscape, rather than treating the national park only as a setting for outdoor recreation. The research dealt with how villages and buildings are arranged across the Alpine region that the park represents.
Triglav National Park covers much of the Slovenian Julian Alps and is Slovenia's only national park. Its landscape includes high mountains, forests, alpine pastures, valleys, gorges, lakes and rivers. Cultural heritage in the park includes archaeological, ethnological, architectural, settlement, religious and historical heritage.
The park is also part of the Natura 2000 network and includes information centres in Bled, Trenta, Bohinj and Kobarid. These centres connect visitors with exhibitions, talks and information about protected landscapes. The October heritage programme described the wider series at the Bled centre.
Three further presentations follow in October 2026
The programme continues beyond the 7 October event. A presentation on seeds, fruits, meadow plants and the protection of priority grasslands is scheduled for 14 October 2026.
On 21 October 2026, the programme turns to the seismic activity of western Slovenia. The final listed presentation, on 28 October 2026, examines environmental changes in Alpine grasslands over the past 500 years and the ways farming adapted to them.
