Matarsko podolje, in SW Slovenia, is a karstic surface with many dolines, which appear between the flysch-composed Brkini hills in the NE and Mt. Slavnik in the SW. We have analyzed dolines to find ...the morphometric parameters of the depth, area, volume, and circularity index and also calculated the doline density and pitting index. All parameters were also calculated separately for individual lithological units to explain the variations of the calculated values among these groups. Morphometry was performed in GIS environment on a 1 × 1 m digital elevation model with bare earth obtained by lidar. The results show a high density of dolines (94 dolines/km
2
) and also a high pitting index (
R
p
= 8.27) compared to other studies. There are some significant differences between the measured values in individual lithologies, as the depths, areas, and volumes are largest in dolomitic beds (other beds include various types of limestones and carbonate breccia). The median values of depth, area, and volume are 2.98 m, 541 m
2
, and 690 m
3
. The circularity index is also lowest in dolomite beds and Kozina limestones; however, the differences are not so pronounced as for areas and volumes. Dolines’ longer axes are parallel to the directions of major structural elements; however, more detailed mapping should be done to confirm the influence of faults and fracture zones on the doline geometry.
Družinski izlet na Slavnik maja 1994.– Naše skromno družinsko planinarjenje se je, odkar smo živeli v Slovenski Istri, začenjalo spomladi z vzponom na Slavnik (1028 m), to koprsko božjo pot, in se na ...jesen običajno končalo prav tam. No, včasih tudi na Vremščici ali na Nanosovi Pleši. Poleti smo se vzpeli kam višje, na Krn, Stol, tudi na Triglav. – Na Slavniku, kakor tudi na bližnji Vremščici, je bilo lepo v maju, ko so se na površje prebijale narcise. Fotka kaže značilno okolje malo pod vrhom, posebej zanimivi pa sta od burje prebičani in skrotovičeni drevesi, ki kljub vsemu »rasteta z uporom«, kot je zapisal pesnik. (sf)
Ilirsko bistriški planinci smo bili včasih redni udeleženci pohodov na 1028 m visok Slavnik. Pohod že 41 let uspešno organizira Obalno planinsko društvo Koper. Bistriški planinci so po navadi izbrali ...pot iz Skadanščine in v dobri uri in pol dosegli vrh, kjer obalni planinci, pripravijo krajšo slovesnost s kulturnim programom in podelijo spominske značke za večkratno udeležbo na pohodu.Na sliki udeležba skupine starejših planink, dragocenih pevk, ki so nam s petjem polepšale marsikateri pohod v gore. Za petje so izkoristile tudi kratek oddih na poti proti vrhu Slavnika.Na sliki, planinske pevke in pevec, z leve: Ada Rolih, Mara Cubr, Darinka Šajn, Stana Božič in zakonca Jože in Jožica Knafelc.
