Slovenian forests

I used this beautiful sunny day and headed for a long walk through the forest. Since I live in the village, there are many forests and pleasant paths around me. Slovenia is a land of forests. With it is covered about 3/5 of the surface, which means that almost every Slovenian place is near the forest. Slovenes are closely connected with the forest, and on good days, numerous walkers and recreational people can be found in suburban forests. In the past, the forest covered almost all the territory of Slovenia to a height of about 1,800 m. When the first inhabitants settled down, his grubbing began. The first settlers were the source of wood for the construction of dwellings, heating, cooking and a number of products, and with its shrinkage they acquired soil for crop production. In the forest they hunted game and harvested forest fruits. Forest is an intricately intertwined group of plants, animals and microorganisms. In Slovenian forests there are 950 plant species. Of these, 71 are tree species (10 conifers and 61 deciduous trees). It is also possible to find some foreign tree species that have been brought to us from elsewhere (douglas, green pine, red oak, robin, …). The most widespread tree species are beech and spruce. The forest is home to 95 bird species, 70 mammalian species, 17 amphibian species and 10 species of reptiles.

  1. Forests are something I prefer during the hot summer days. Where I live there are many parks with trees and sea. But there is no forest.

    • Thanks for viewing and friendly comment, dear friend….park or forest is a big difference … in the forest it is nice cold in the park but it is not

  2. Thanks for viewing and friendly comment, dear friend….I really feel great here … and it’s still quite cold now when there’s such a heat

  3. It’s definitely a good place to relax. I have visited a certain place some years back with a dense forest. You would feel the sudden drop in temperature once you enter the vicinity. I wish I could visit that place again.

    • Thanks for viewing and friendly comment, dear Sharon….right now in this heat it’s just a walk in the forest … it’s more fresh air

  4. Yes, I like walking through nature but often it goes beyond forrest and it is like a jungle.
    It is much rougher and yet I like it.
    We call ours bush, probably because it is like a jungle.

    • Thanks for viewing and friendly comment, dear Pamela…even our forests are somewhat densely scattered and almost impassable

  5. This is such a great capture. it makes me want to go on a hike. Kim Johnson’s hiking posts cause me to want to hike as well lol.

  6. Beautiful serene looking forest. Yes we still have a lot of forests in Canada although none too close to where I live. But we have several wooded park areas that I have walked through and in which I met racoon’s, deer’s, skunks, several birds etc…

    • Thanks for viewing and friendly comment, my friend….I also enjoy … the only danger this year is that there are many ticks
