Vrhnika - Slovenia
Vrhnika is situated some 20 kilometres west of Ljubljana and is easily reachable by public transport or by car via A1 motorway. The town lies at the edge of Ljubljana Marshes and by the river Ljubljanica, the sources of which are nearby. Its streets are a mixture of newer suburban and older pseudo rural architecture.
At the Ljubljanica River Exhibition you can explore the rich history of the area and learn about the unique natural landscape of Ljubljana Marshes. The museum is housed in Vrhnika's brand new cultural centre which used to be an industrial object. Its halls are submerged in half-light and packed with archaeological artifacts including the replica of world's oldest wooden wheel (3,350-3,100 B.C.).
There are still great things to come. A large, 15-metre long and cca. 2,000 years old longboat, which is the largest such find in Europe was excavated last year from the riverbank near the local petrol station.

Route Description
The Ljubljanica River is one of the most special bodies of water in Slovenia, which is supplied with many karst influent streams. It vanishes into the ground and comes to the surface many times along its long and varied course, each time with a different name. It springs up in the foothills of Mount Snežnik as the Trbuhovca Stream, then later as the Obrh Stream, the Stržen Stream, the Rak Stream, the Pivka and Unica rivers, until it rises to the surface for the final time near Vrhnika as the Ljubljanica River. Its springs are divided into three major groups known as Močilnik, Retovje and Bistra. In addition, there are many other smaller springs, wells and affluents in this area.
Interesting Facts
Under the Vita, Olja and Juna Recommend column, you can hear the Tale of the Town of Vrhnika. Every child, even your inner child, will enjoy hearing it. Read a few interesting facts on the three major groups of springs below.
Močilnik is a limestone steephead valley, out of which waters from the Big Močilnik Spring (Veliki Močilnik) and the Little Močilnik Spring (Mali Močilnik) flow into the Little Ljubljanica River (Mala Ljubljanica). The Big Močilnik Spring is located at the foot of the Devil’s Cliffs (Hudičeve skale), which are 40 meters (131.2 feet) high. According to Greek mythology, Greek heroes – Jason and the Argonauts – ended their sail along Ljubljanica right here. They disassembled their ship and carried it on their shoulders to the Adriatic Sea. As a memorial to their journey, Vrhnika’s emblem is an image of the ship Argo, and locals and visitors remember them every year during the Argonaut Days Festival.
In the Retovje Valley, slightly hidden in the wooded foothills of Raskovec Hill and the Ljubljana Peak, lies the spring of Big Ljubljanica Stream (Velika Ljubljanica), which joins the Little Ljubljanica Stream (Mala Ljubljanica) from Močilnik after about 1 km (0.10 miles) in the village of Verd. From here on, the river is called Ljubljanica. There are many little springs in the valley: ‘Pod skalco’, ‘Pod orehom’, ‘Malo okence’ and ‘Veliko okence’. The springs of the Big Ljubljanica Stream produce the greatest volume of water of all the Ljubljanica springs and in the 19th century more than 10 water powered sawmills were located here.
Bistra Springs can be found at the foot of a steep, tectonically shaped karst hillside halfway between the towns of Vrhnika and Borovnica. Their streams form the Bistra River about 400 meters (437 yards) away. Their defensive position played a key role for the protection of the Bistra Monastery. Springs’ waters come from the Cerknica Karst Field, the Rakov Škocjan Park and the Planina Karst Field. In the past, the water powered mills and other equipment at the monastery and the Bistra Castle. The flow of water was controlled by sluice gates close to the mills and sawmills.
Another natural wonder among the Ljubljanica Springs is the Lintvern Spring, the source of the Bela Stream. Lintvern is a natural monument and a karst phenomenon. Its water flow is not constant; sometimes the water gushes out with great force but at times the spring completely dries up. The Slovenian polymath Johann Weikhard von Valvasor wrote (1689) that the Lintvern Spring occasionally spews out baby dragons. These ‘dragons’, off course, were probably human fish offspring.

Врхника – город с населением почти 9000 человек и центр муниципалитета Врхника. Он расположен вдоль дороги Любляна - Постойна вдоль юго-западного края Люблянских болот и у истока Любляницы. Город находится от Любляны всего в 20 километрах и около 20 минут езды на авто. В период летних отпусков возможны большие пробки.
Врхника, которая лежит на высоте 294 м (центр города) вокруг холма Тичница (366 м). На холме находится церковь св. Троицы.
В Врхнике центральными культурными учреждениями являются Цанкарьев дом Врхника и Цанкарьева библиотекаа, а также Музыкальная школа Врхники.
Согласно легенде, город был основан аргонавтами, приплывшими по рекам Саве и Люблянице из Черного моря под предводительством Ясона. Когда они достигли истока Любляницы в этом месте, им пришлось разобрать корабль и перевести его по суше к берегу Адриатического моря. Их корабль изображен на гербе города.
Первые свидетельства присутствия человека в районе Врхники относятся к древнему каменному веку. Несколько замечательных доисторических находок были обнаружены в окрестностях близлежащего Верда (остатки колесницы эпохи неолита (1994 г.), охотничьего лагеря каменного века (2004 г.) .
В древние времена Врхника была рынком и портовым поселением, известным как Навпорт (Nauportus, гибридное слово от греческого компонента nays «корабль» и латинского portus «порт» , как, как говорят, это название придумали аргонавты. Римские склады и остатки укрепленного рынка были найдены и раскопаны на берегу Любляницы, в районе приходской церкви св. Павла и на улицах Градище до сих пор видны остатки римского замка. Остатки стен и сторожевых башен из комплекса Claustra Alpium Iuliarum лежат на склонах над Врхникой. В середине V века, когда Римская империя уже находилась в упадке, город был разрушен гуннами.
В средние века Врхника делилась на три участка: 1.Хриб, где жили ремесленники (кожевники, сапожники); 2.Деревня была жилым районом с ремесленниками низшего сословия (водители, лодочники); 3.Брег был известен как более богатая часть с магазинами, богатыми и высшими классами ремесел. В письменных источниках Врхника впервые упоминается в 1300 году как Горна Любляна;
В документах того времени место чаще всего упоминается под немецким названием Oberlaybach («Верхняя Любляна») или его варианты (Ober Laybach, Obernlaibach и др.; латинский Superior Laibacum), а также Vernich, Nider Dorf и др.
В 1876 году в городке родился первый словенский профессиональный писатель Иван Цанкар. Дом, стоящий на месте его родного дома, к сожалению не сохранённого, превращен в мемориальный музей.
На рубеже 19 и 20 веков основным видом деятельности был транспорт, а также лесопильное, фрезерное и кожевенное дело; На развитие Врхники повлияла близость дороги Любляна-Триест и самой Любляны.
Ускоренное развитие поселения было инициировано местной железной дорогой между Любляной и Врхникой, которая была завершена в 1899 году и позволила развить кожевенную, деревообрабатывающую, пищевую и электронную промышленность. Врхника получила статус города в 1955 году. В 1970-72 годах был построен участок автомагистрали А1 на маршруте Врхника-Постойна, первой четырехполосной автомагистрали в бывшей Югославии.
Веломарафон Franja также традиционно проходит через город.
